It was a very good week for my stocks. Maybe even great. Up about 2% as Janet Yellen & Company continued their dovish policies. I do not know whether they help the economy, but they do prop up the stock market. Pushing on a string. Another Jelly Donut please!
I am now up about 11.5% for the year. I would have never expected that this year... of course the year is not done yet. It will be interesting to see how the markets react to presidential debate on Monday. October is traditionally a rocky month for the markets and with a real chance of Trump winning, with his anti free trade rhetoric, this could be even rockier than usual.

Not as much of a bump as I expected. I was just over $211,000 last week. So a 1% bump.

The august tranche continues to look solid. CBI is crushing May. February was 4 great picks and one dud (PERI, down 48%). November has seen LCI really pull back. Their CFO resgned this week, so that always makes a market jittery.

Other Stocks
SBRA also had a very good week, as I mentioned it will join dividend portfolio in 2017. WLDN also popped, up 12% for the week. I did very well on a few weekly/speculative trades: NUGT (+12%) and SRPT (sold too early but made 5%). Now I just need someone to buy EMG!
