Taking Stock..Again
Here we are Mayday, and the purported arrival of $548 thanks to Uncle Sugar should be in my BofA account.
How did my little stock experiment do? Well, one week shy of three months I have a gain of $29.95 and an overall growth of 5.94%. The big winners were Ebay and Home Depot, with Staples and Target pulling only $1.60 worth.
Will I invest in the same stocks? No I will not. Had I invested in Costco (with my same rationale that people will need cheap things in the future) my return would've been 12.94%.
The Dow has gone up 4.8% in the same period, the NASDAQ 4.26%: so I beat the market, at the very least.
