On The Road Again

Been traveling a ton lately (mostly vacation).  Finally back to a Wi-Fi friendly-space in London.  I have to say I did see one of the coolest places I have ever seen.  I was in Edinburgh and they have an annual festival that is about the most energetic thing I have ever seen.  We walked down the Royal Mile and there were dozens upon dozens of street entertainers, and probably 100 venues with a wide variety of shows and acts.  They also had the Royal Tattoo, which we saw adjacent to Edinburgh castle.  If you are ever trying to decide what to do some August, I would highly recommend Scotland.

Interestingly, my portfolios did very, very well during my absence.

Tomorrow I am supposed to turn over my August 15th tranche from a year ago.  It may have to wait until next week when I get back home. Overall, the four tranches are up 27% and beating indices by almost 9 points.  Yesterday's spike in AAPL definitely helped!

Looking back at a post in early August, my open positions were trailing by 3.6 points.  That has been shaven to 0.7 points!

Discretionary

Stock Gain Cost Price
GNW 80.2%           7.10         12.80
GTAT 69.3%           3.39           5.74
KLIC 3.4%         11.15         11.53
ACAS 2.9%         12.75         13.12
BAC-WTA 26.6%           5.10           6.45
HIG-WT 9.8%         20.70         22.74
Grand Total 41.7%

Something good must have happened with GTAT!  Now up 63%.  Then recall I made 25% on them earlier in 2013.

So overall, 2013 has been a very good year,  I am up over 24% and beating the R3K by 3.5 points. Sweet!

More later!

A good Friday afternoon to you,
I am very curious to learn what new tranche of stocks you added for the 8/15/13 rollover? Perhaps I missed or can't find the posting?
Thanks, Karl
