Have You Filed Your Taxes Yet?

April 15th, 2009 | No Comments | Filed in Taxes

Just a friendly reminder, If you haven’t filed your taxes yet you better do it today but if for some reason you can’t you can apply for an extension, check the IRS website for more info or ask your tax guy or girl. I did my taxes a while back and already received my refunds. Anyway, you have been warned so get to it as fast as you can before the day’s over.

Weekly Investing Report 4/13/09

April 13th, 2009 | No Comments | Filed in Investing

Already halfway through April if you can believe it, time sure flies when you are having fun investing…………………I think. This post is one day late because I made a small mistake, sorry about that. Anyway, my account was up $114.00 for the week and you know I like that. I am hoping that we can get a good wining streak going, something like a thousand weeks in a row would be great.

I had no trades last week trades.

My investments, 50 Dow Chemical Co (DOW) shares, 100 Allied Irish Banks PLC (AIB) shares, 400 Citigroup (C) shares, 500 Fannie Mae (FNM) shares and 1500 American International Group Inc (AIG) shares.

Total Money Balance $    38.60
Investment Value $4,178.00
Total Account Value $4,216.60

Three Paychecks

April 10th, 2009 | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

I have three paychecks coming my way this month and I am ecstatic because that one extra check couldn’t have come at a better time. I usually get three checks twice a year when all the planets are in a certain alignment and that is happening this very month. I am probably going to end up saving most of that extra check which is good. I am also going to deposit some of it into my checking account to help pay my debt and that is also a good idea. Now if I could only win the lottery, I don’t want much, 4 million will do it for me and not a penny more.

Can you almost smell Spring?, I sure can’t and that is fine with me. I am too busy keeping an eye on the market and it’s effects on my growing account. Anyway, my account was up $505.02 for the week and once again I am back on the winning side and that is the way I like.

April 3rd, 2009 | No Comments | Filed in 403b

New month and a few changes that I think are necessary for this report. First change, from now on this report will be simply known as the 403b report and will be dated just as the Weekly Investing Report is, that way if I need to refer you to a specific report it will be a lot easier to find. Now lets get to the good stuff, the first 403b report of the month and just like I said last week, what a difference a continuing rally makes, here is the report.
