Birchtree's Account Talk

[Birchtree]

It really was just another week of treading water: +$23K, -$54K, -$17K, +$4K, +$80K for a gain of +$36K. My tugboat is racking up some nice gains though. I have a 3 for 2 splitter coming up on the 12th.

So you lost 54k in one day in TSP? Sorry i could be miss reading this lol.

 

[PessOptimist]

No. Losses gains in Birchtree 300. Tugboat=TSP. I think. I will let birch explain it.

[Birchtree]

The Birchtree 300 is my outside margin account and so far ytd I'm ahead +$228K - got to do a lot more than that to stay sane. My tugboat (TSP) is just sailing along with my allocation of 20C and 80I - no plans to make any changes any time soon. I would like to have bjean in my rear view mirror though.

BT,
Have you seen this posting on SA??

Peabody Is My Favorite Idea That Everyone Knows, But That No One Understands - Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) | Seeking Alpha

I'm punching out some spill money today and buying: BTU, CLF, BTE, IEV, SDRL, ANR, SBGL, TRN. I still have many more wall flowers on my list.

 

[Birchtree]

That was a great article - I plan to keep adding to my various coal positions until they drop off the earth or until I do. I'm even thinking about putting money into WLT and CLD. And if I'm eventually wrong there is always the write off against other capital gains. I've got time to wait out the creep and the EPA. Thanx again for the read.

 

[Birchtree]

Another wall flower being bought out - WMB taking WPZ. Nothing I can do about it but accept the money.

Here I sit with one million, three hundred eighty three thousand, five hundred and eighty views and still can't get passed 3 stars - should I be paranoid? Ah, who really gives a skunks butt.

I read your thread with every new post. So, I just did my part to bump up your star power. Sorry for not rating it earlier.

Buying'em a little cheaper this morning: MRK, TEN, MDR, GE, CBG, ARM, AVY, EXP, SPN, CPX, JAH. Several notices of dividend increases and I'm participating - I can definitely smell what the bull is cookin. Now if I can just build more buying power to purchase more happiness. Mindylou keeps adding to my list - so it never ends. The more you own the more you make - be in to win.

I believe that the best time to be in the market is when there is blood in the streets. I didn't come up with that saying either, just copied it. I do believe that the present state of the S&P and the Dow sideways action is building a base for 2500 and 20000 year end, respectively.

 

[Birchtree]

I've been doing a little buying today: GG, MCP, GSM, ACCO, AGCO, OAS, EWJ. There are just so many wonderful wall flowers waiting to bloom.

 

[Birchtree]

Bought a couple thousand shares of two fallen angels: SD, KEG. We'll see if they are headed for bankruptcy or not. I'm betting that oil is going to be the surprise this year along with iron ore.

 

[Birchtree]

I finally managed to get past bjean on the tracker - now I'm tracking tom1tom1 and I'm so close I can smell his pheromones. I do believe the I fund owes me a few more dollars that may show today.

 

[Birchtree]

I was looking for a rush of money to come into the market this week, but no dice - I did however manage to pull in a few gains: -$19K, -$24K, +$15K, +$48K, +$1K for a grand total of +$21K. Next week is another opportunity for justice. Very often the best way to be successful in the long run is not to aim at being successful in the short run.

JimmyJoe,

Your 'base' could be someone else's 'top'...

 

[tom1tom1]

Good luck on that one, cuz rather nice to see you in my rearview mirror

yea, i wanna hear it, too. I guess us, newbies don't understand the lingo...

 

[Birchtree]

TSP is my tugboat account - it's smaller than my oceanic account (Birchtree 300). My oceanic account is a margin account.

 

[Birchtree]

Here's a peek at my dividend reinvestments for today: ABB, BTE, NGLS, ARP, ETP, AOS, OKE, NRG, MCS, LNCO, HRL, HSC, FPO, CE, AES, and LNT. Because I'm not perspicacious I also bought: GBX, AKS, MTG, MT. I'm diligently waiting for a tremendous breakout with money flowing like fine wine. Until then I just keep money moving in the correct direction. I forgot to list MS as a dividend hit.
