Hi Tom, re: Sand Box
That's my boy!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!! I knew you'd "cave in " sooner or later!!! Great job on the 2nd quarter and 6 months results, keep up the good work. Is your individual stock in a sector index? Individual stocks get yanked around every day by movement in the sectors, and not so much their merits anymore. Bad news and a bad quarter can easily be mitigated by being part of a sector fund sky rocketing to the North. Best regards, Ken

Hi Tom,

I also took a 10% Sell order in my stock portfolio.

In this case I sold some IBM shares for a small profit.
This stock was not really moving, so I decreased the position.

I remember when buying this stock I followed Buffett a bit, that won't happen again. It was not a screaming buy at the time, but closer to fair value.

Nice to see a better alignment of Portfolio Control and Portfolio Value.

Best Regards,K
