Time For An Update

Dear Diary,

I've been busy the past month, so I'm taking time to play catchup.

First, I bought more Medtronic (MDT) on 1-28-09, bringing my average purchase price down from $49.85 a share to $36.86.

Second, I bought more Heely's (HLYS) at $1.99 a share, bringing the average purchase price down to $2.16 a share from $3.28.

Lastly, I saw the ALO Cash on Sale Arbitrage finally pay me on 1-30-09 for a profit. I find that this Arbitrage approach has significant downside and little upside potential, so I'll probably not do too many of these in the future, unless I see significant upside on a deal.

I continue to have faith in my Buffett-Graham Net Quick Asset Deals, and Holy Grail remains outstanding.
