Unbelievable

I have been investing for more years than I care to admit. But I am sure that I have never had a stock go up over 50% in a single day. That is what PNCL did today. I knew the news was good last night, but never thought it was THIS good. Unbelievable.

I am super-dee-duper glad I didn't follow my instincts last week and well to lock up a 60% gain since purchase. I now have over a 150% gain. Caused a firey debate on the Yahoo Groups MFI board. Should people encourage other investors to "break" the rules? Should we be following the MFI rules to the letter or in spirit? And if in spirit, where do we draw the line?

Here is my list of stocks and my gains per stock:

Current Portfolio

PNCL $6.68 $16.75 150.7%
TGIS $10.34 $15.80 54.7%
UST $39.36 $57.43 51.7%
ASEI $45.85 $60.89 32.8%

EZEN $2.84 $2.01 -29.1%
OVTI $27.79 $13.66 -50.8%




Current Gain/Loss ($) $24,529
Current Gain/Loss (%) 7.5%
Sold Gain/Loss ($) $10,050
Sold Gain/Loss (%) 25.0%
Total Gain/Loss ($) $34,579
Benchmark Gain/Loss ($) $31,336
Annual IRR 17.5%
Total Gain/Loss (%) 10.9%



So with the massive gain on PNCL, my MFI portfolio has offiically passed the IWV portfolio... yes, it feels great.
