An investment opportunity or dead weight for my portfolio?
By Stealthy at 30 August, 2007, 6:13 pm
Today Coldwater Creek shares fell $4.51 (-25.93%) to $12.88. About 3 months ago sold all of my shares that I held at $25.04. I’m VERY tempted to jump back in at this price of $12.88, which I believe is a market overreaction from the poor sales data that came out today. I […]

Today I got my new credit card in the mail after the first one they sent got lost in the mail. I haven’t activated it yet because I’ve been at the Dr’s office and hospital for most of the day due to kidney stones. I had to buy $200 in medication, but ended up putting […]

Portfolio growing slow and steady

Not too much going on in my little personal finances. I will say that my spending so far this month has been minimal. I think I have about $80 charged on my credit card. Usually this at this point in the month I normally have about $150 charged, so I have cut […]

Good News first…I’ve got the site back up after my mistake of deleting wordpress off of the server. I also was smart enough have back up files saved on my hard drive.
