Money for Summer College

Dear Diary,

I sold off shares of Decker Outdoor (DECK) for $135.49 a share on April 13, 2010, a substantial profit from the $$$$$ buy price on $$$$$$.

I also sold about half my Gold Spider (GLD) position for $113.50 a share today to get funds for summer college classes, as I invest in myself during the economic uncertainties of the 21st Century.

Up 19%

Dear Diary,

I'm up 19% overall on invested capital in my investment activities.

Also, I sold out my Bare Essentials position for $18.11 a share on January 28, 2010 after an expected sale of the company for $18.20 a share was announced to close by March 8, 2010. This represented a 125% gain on the original buy price months ago.

I've been reading some of Benjamin Graham's ideas on the inablilty of gold to hold its value in his book, "Storage and Stablity." Hum.
