Market correction on the way. Time to head to europe and the DAX index ETFs such as INLE2 or underpriced large cap US equities eg CAT. Will sell out of AG and MVV on monday, after i speak with my current broker to see if they have got off their ass and transfer shares to my new broker http://www.interactivebrokers.co.uk

January 2011 Notes

Stock Watch list to buy

NYSE:CMM  NASDAQ:NAFC  NYSE:WFC  NYSE:JPM  EPA:GLE  NASDAQ:SNSS  NASDAQ:AMZN  NASDAQ:BIDU  NASDAQ:GSVC  NASDAQ:ENTR  NYSEARCA:VGK

Will be investing 5keuro on a European stock this week and $8k on GSVC. GSVC has a significant stake in facebook. I really wanted to buy GSVC on  27th January on the back of "The Fly's" recommendation, but totally screwed up and didn't bring my bank security token to work so couldn't access by trading account. The result? GSVC went up 17% and i bloody well missed it! That's a lesson learnt! 

I am up 14.1% this year so far though on stock. 


Wine Bought 2x 12-750ml case of 2008, Cos d'Estournel, St Estèphe@ £950 per case.


Fund - didnt add to the managed fund because their peformance has sucked ass so far!


Date Updated 3 Feb 2012
January bottom line - if i stayed in the market i would have made 20-30% more. Bought GSVC and sold it at the same price  (i really didn't trust or understand that stock best not to risk)


Price change in January
Fund +3%
Stocks +15.2%
Wine - 3%


Feb ideas - DAX ETF fund, BAC, SODA


I was really annoyed missing on out some for the market performance. I sold BAC to quickly and didnt trust GSVC. But i did stick to my strategy.
