ZAGGING RIGHTS

A brand new i-pad, and I am filled with envy after my next door neighbor exercised bragging rights.   It’s like a car.  It grabs your attention with the first look, makes you envious as you sit in it, and go for the eventual ride.

I’ve seen new electronic gadgets, and been envious before but, eventually the envy diminishes as the look is never like the first look.  At least, most often it’s not quite the same.

There are some Zaggers who ZAGG  with their electronics to maintain the look.

I was so impressed with the Zaggers who Zagg I went ahead and bought a few shares of this company to add to my portfolio.

It is the Zaggers who Zagg with Zagging rights who keep their bragging rights, all beginning with that ‘look!’

 

BIG BYTE TAKEN OUT OF THE APPLE

There is no way to describe how much the life of Steve Jobs has affected the lives of so many people around the world.   The description, the explanation comes now with an outpouring of the world’s tears mourning the passing of Steve Jobs.

RIP

STEVE JOBS

1955 – 2011

 

WHERE DID NVIDIA GO?

My portfolio stocks with their respective home pages are in the ‘Bookmarks’ in the column to the right.

As you know, I have the entire portfolio on Stop-Limit – Sell protecting the downside.  In other words, I am willing to take a risk but, the line is already drawn.  A Stop-Limit Sell sets two prices to sell a specific stock.  One is set for a price above my bottom line price for getting out.  The other is my bottom line exit point.  NVIDIA (NVDA) met the criteria, and was sold. It’s all there on my account for my Broker to exercise as directed.

NVIDIA was a good idea last time. This time a volatile market is laden with surprise reversals throughout the trading day, and  this seasoned, cyclical Tech stock lasted only a few days on my portfolio before being sold.

I may have been too soon on the buy for NVIDIA with  the questionable market reaction to world economies.  This is the time for Tech under normal circumstances.  It is without question, not normal.

The stock market is a fast paced electronic environment.  The electronics move so quickly, a mere Limit Sell with one price could be missed.  With the Stop-Limit Sells, I have given the machines a range, and will usually not be missed.

So, I’m slow to learn that there is no stability at the moment, and North-South winds could easily become East-West, changing back inside of a fraction of a second.
