End of Month Summary – February 2010

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

I’m pretty happy with how February worked out for me, especially considering that I’m not fully invested still.   I finished February with a combined balance of $103,076.06 ($91,897.17 with IBKR and $11,178.89 with AMTD) which is up from my January finishing balance of $98,663.75.  $1,500 of the increase is from the deposit I made on February 8th and $2,912.31 is from growth.  I’m 82.03% invested overall and of my equity allocation (aka my IBKR account) 79.84% is …

S&P 500 Chart – Resistance at 1080

Filed under: Finance, Indices, Stock Charts - 13 Feb 2010

I charted the S&P 500 ($SPX) after the markets closed on Friday, February 12, 2010 when it finished the week at 1,075.21.//

End of Month Summary – January 2010

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

January turned out to be an interesting month.  After six months in a row of gains we finally saw the Dow Jones drop.  The S&P 500 fell for the second time in 11 months.  It makes me feel a little vindicated for staying so heavily in cash over the past few months after seeing the DJIA fall back to its levels from October.  At the same time it never feels good to have my account balance drop …
