Diary Entry for Thursday, January 3 2008
Dear Diary,
MHS is a very attractive stock. It is one of those that you can tuck away in a retirement account and keep forever. I noticed this while looking over the “bullish movers” scan that I made a while ago and at least one other guy finds useful.
Every weekend I run a scan that produces a list of hundreds of stocks that meet a specified criteria of my choosing. From that list, I go over the charts and other data and pick the ones that I would consider purchasing. I put these stocks into a Watchlist. Every day, after the market closes, I go through all of the stocks on this Watchlist. If there are any that look attractive enough for me to consider buying the next day, I will write them down and bring them to work with me.
Every morning at work, I open up a tab in firefox with my IB account webtrader. If they are not already, I will add the stocks I am watching to my IB watchlist, so I can watch the real-time data. I occasionally take a look at this tab thoughout the day to see what is going on. If any of the stocks are moving the way I had hoped, I will buy them and put in a stop order.
I haven’t bought anything lately.
Did GEOY make a new all-time high today? Nice comeback.
I am glad SRS was up over 7% today because I am looking to buy a house.
The Dalai Lama daily calendar for today is pretty wise:
As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear, and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.
Last week I meditated every day and it felt great. I need to get back on track.
I cut my resveratrol intake to one 500mg capsule every other day after Tom had some medical problems and I read about other side-effects. I haven’t noticed any negative side-effects, though.
