After a four week losing streak my account finally managed a winning week. My account was up, finally, $162.20 and hopefully this is the beginning of a long, long winning streak. I am also hoping that some of my heavily hit stocks start to make a comeback, we are going to have to wait and see what happens.

I had no trades last week.

My investments, 100 Allied Irish Banks PLC (AIB) shares, 400 Citigroup (C) shares, 500 Fannie Mae (FNMA) shares, 2500 First National Bancshares Inc (FNSC) and 24,000 EuroBancshares Inc (EUBK).

-97.01%

Edwin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:00:00 +0000

The market has been acting up and as a result of that my account has taken a hit, a big hit. Let me give you an example, back in the middle of November ‘09 I decided to go ahead and buy 2500 shares of First National Bancshares Inc (FNSC) as a long term investment.

I expected that those 2500 shares would go up, I would then sell and with the profit invest again. Well, things have not worked out the way I expected, as of today my shares have lost 97.01% of their value and are worth a grand total of $75 big ones.

I am a very optimistic guy and hopefully the stock will rise and in the end I will end up making money but I also know that I have to get used to the idea that I probably won’t see much if any of my $2507 ever again, investing can sure be fun, lots of fun.

I don’t know why but all of the sudden I have the feeling that I am on a rollercoaster, that wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the fact that this particular rollercoaster just keeps going down and down and well, you get the picture. My account was down $118.70 for the week and now that three week losing streak has turned into a four week losing streak, I hope that I get a break and some good news sooner than soon.

It was a horrible week for me personally, the market seems to be down for the count but I know that it’s not out. My account was down a whooping $1,059.80 and now I have a two week loosing streak and me don’t like that a bit. The only bright spot, so far, for me is Citigroup (C), everything else is down, down, down.

Beat Up

Edwin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:10:59 +0000

The stock market doesn’t seem to like me or anybody for that matter. It was another day, another beat up and I have the numbers to prove it. I would take a vacation to a far and away place but I can’t because I have to save what little I have. Hang in there people, I know I am.

It was a horrible week for my stocks, the market seems to be in retreat and it’s taking me down with it. My account was down $581.45 and that officially ended my two week winning streak. At this point all I can do is to ride the current and see where it takes me.

Another Bank Stock?

Edwin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:00:00 +0000

I have no idea why I seem to be so attracted to bank stocks so much. Last Thursday I did it once again, I sold my Dow Chemical Co (DOW) and ended up buying 24,000 shares of EuroBancshares Inc (EUBK). The main reason why I bought those shares was because they were cheap, 0.05 cents to be exact, and I could buy a bunch of shares with the money I had. Sometimes you have to take a change and Nike, and that is exactly what I did.

After a long time of doing nothing I decided to finally do something. I sold my Dow Chemical Co (DOW) shares and bought me some EuroBancshares Inc (EUKB). I really don’t know what it is with me and bank stocks. Anyway, my account was up $61.96999999999 for the week, I had to quadruple check my results just because the amount looked funny but that is what my calculator said.

I had two trades last week.
