The first 403b report of this November is here and I have some good news, no I haven’t changed any investments yet and you can blame my laziness for that. My account was up $113.93 and that is always good news. I am going to make this one short so here is the report for your reading enjoyment.

What goes up, must come down says that oh so famous saying and that has been the case with my accounts. They have been up and down, and up again and down again but for some strange reason I prefer the ups. My account was up $53 dollars last week after a horrible previous week but hopefully things will pick up and stay that way this week, are you listening stock market?.

I had no trades last week.

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

My personal debt has skyrocketed a bit recently. I am paying it off as best I can as you all know but to me personally it seems like it never goes down. The other day I received an offer from Discover Personal Loans, I do have a Discover card after all. That got me thinking, I can get a small loan and pay off my debt once and for all and then just pay off the loan.

In the long run we all know that we end up paying more than we borrowed but I could pay more than the minimum, like I always do, and finish paying the loan before the 36, 48 or 60 months are up. Sure I would pay some interest, lets face it, nobody will lend you money out of the kindness of their hearts, but not as much as I am paying right now on my two credit cards, stay tuned.

Last week was a pretty bad one, things rebounded on Thursday after a four day slide and I thought that Friday would be the same but boy was I wrong. Instead the market took another dive on Friday and as a result my account was down $453.89 for the week but hopefully things will pick up this week.

I had no trades last week.

I got paid a $7.50 dividend by Dow Chemical.

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