Overall, 6.7% While the IRA account, the stocks are all over the place, anywhere between EXPE, +16.7 and PWER -7.2, overall up 5.7%.<br /><br />I put some cash into the IRA account for tax purposes so am looking for 1 new stock to add to the list.<br /><br />Enjoy your trip.AndrewsDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060145267580346676noreply@blogger.com
