Well, CROX rebounded yesterday and was up 2.39% from Monday's close, closing at 45.39. I bought the exrtra shares at 44.50, so that gave me a flat 2% gain on my buy. If I can catch another percent and a half I may sell the shares and then wait for weakness again in either CROX or APPL. This is called "trading around a core position." What you do is buy some shares when the stock shows weakness and then sell those same shares when the stock goes up.

Well if you were watching yesterday (and I'm sure all of my faithful readers were...all zero of you) you saw that APPL was up $4.59 (3.81%) driven by good iPhone battery news and CROX dropped by $1.25 (2.74%). Not sure what drove CROX down...profit taking hopefully. The CEO sold some more shares but that ahs been happening quite a bit lately without hurting the stock. Cramer recommended taking some profits on his Friday show so that could have spurred some selling.....

Well, it's been a  long, long, time since I posted a blog entry.  I was woried that if I started writing that it would eat into the other things going on in my life, and it probably will.  But I have decided to get back to it because I think it is going to help me get my thoughts in order.  I am going to play my investments "open hand" and invite questions, criticism and commentary.
