End of Month Summary – August 2010

Filed under: Account Summary, Finance, Indices - 01 Sep 2010

As I mentioned in a post near the end of July, times seemed too good to last and I expected the July rally to fizzle.  And fizzle it did along with my balance.  I didn’t fall as hard as the broader markets, but certainly lost.  I ended August with a combined balance of $108,954.79 ($95,553.87.87 with Interactive Brokers and $13,400.92 with TD Ameritrade) and that’s after making a deposit to AMTD of $2,000 during the first week of the month.  After …

End of Month Summary – July 2010

Filed under: Account Summary, Finance, Indices - 02 Aug 2010

July was a very good month for me, as I’m sure it was for all investors who were long stocks.  By the end of July my combined accounts balance was $112,122.50.  I have my equity based assets with Interactive Brokers ($100,777.73) and my debt based positions with TD Ameritrade ($11,344.77).  Quicken was a little off and said my combined balance was $112,293.24, basically due to the difference of what each uses for closing prices at the end of the day (I think), last trade versus current ask.
