Christmas Rally?

Decent close of the week. While I am still underwater, I have gained 6.6% since Thanksgiving. I still have a shot at finishing 2007 in the black. Watching the MFI stocks is never dull. Sometimes it is all about when you bought your stock. I am down about 50% on GVHR. But GVHR is up 78% in the past couple weeks. So is GVHR a good stock or a bad stock? Depends.



I did buy IAR yesterday. It is a stock I have been watching of late. Barron's seems to think it is worth considering (A Risky But Rewarding Dividend Play) and that was at about $1 higher. They are a dull company, but money can be made with plodders as well as streakers so long as the price is right.

We're off on holiday starting tomorrow. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.
