Weekly Investing Report 12/15/08

pMonday is here and I begin this week with a leaner and hopefully a lot meaner investing machine. Made a lot of moves last week that I hope will pay off in the long or short run. My account was down $157.36 for the week but hopefully I will be able to recoup that and more. This post is a bit late because the Scottrade graph, see below, didn’t update Friday as you can see it only shows Monday through Thursday but that is ok. I waited hoping that it would update but when it never did I decided to go with what I had./p pa href=”http://gainsnlosses.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/scottrade-account-37.png”img style=”border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px” height=”140″ alt=”Scottrade Account (37)” src=”http://gainsnlosses.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/scottrade-account-37-thumb.png” width=”204″ border=”0″/a /p pI had eight trades last week./p pMy investments look like this now, 40 JPMorgan (JPM) shares, 40 Bank of America (BAC) shares, 50 Dow Chemical Co (DOW) shares and 100 Allied Irish Banks PLC (AIB) shares./p pI start this week with a total account value of $3,527.81/p
