Once you go to the onion for news you'll never go back to the talking heads.

OK, I'm gonna try to use this thread to (aside from taking over the world) disclose my equity trades to you guys, seeing how everyone else seems to be doing it...
I appreciate any comments, jabs or whatever else smack-talk you may have to say about my moves. It all helps me out- since I'm here trying to learn how to be a better investor, and the more information the better...
I'm selling the market today (<1% of port) by closing out an underperforming mutual fund.
To give perspective, here's an *approximate* breakdown of my positions:
25% cash&bonds
25% mutual funds
25% $$MM stocks
25% other stocks
other stocks include:
10% each in LJPC and XING
>1% each in MRK MSFT DRUG.OB SSRI
<1% each in MSPD CNXT
that's it.
I include in my $$MM stocks RRGB and WSB in addition to the stocks $$MM currently holds... Also, I have increased (at least doubled) positions in PRX BEL OFG GGI and NUSComment

actually LLY may not be a bad place to look for another drug stock... every analyst and their mother has downgraded it already, and with net assets around $10 and a 3% dividend, I wouldn't mind picking that up for around $50 or less... the drug companies are due for a comeback once this Vioxx debacle blows over. LLY should be trading at least at 70 by then. PFE is also a good buy now, IMO.Comment

Jiesen, You're right , PFE could make us very well off depending upon how patient we can be with a stock. I don't think long term is very exciting holding a stock for a year is worse than watching paint dry. Most paints are completely dry in 24 hours or less, right? MRK is on my sh*# list this time for selling Zocor which is slowly killing me.
p.s. how about "jiesen's world" for a thread name

nah, I think I like "Jiesen tries to take over the world" better. It may be a mouthful, but then again, you don't have to say it.Comment

That's a pretty good mix of investment Jiensen.
I had a few mutual funds in my 457 account until I found that my stock picks were doing better, so I went all stocks and I'm doing better than ever. After closing out my SIRI position today, I'm up 24% for the year. I know funds are safer, but I would like to retire early. If I don't get to retire early I'll still be retired in 13 1/2 years at age 53, which is not too bad.
Even if I lost every dime of my account, I'd still be in good financial shape. My home is paid for and I have very little debt, so I'm willing to go out on a limb.
With the population getting older, I think medical stocks will continue to heat up. I can't wait until King of the Hill makes his next pick.
Bring on the Medical stocks!Comment

Web's World
Webs,
Why don't you get your world turning, too? We could call it, "As Web's World Turns" or some such a thing. Really, I would like to hear your next pick, your philosophy of picking, etc. Let the discussion begin!Comment
