You should grab some BSX...
Its done well for the past year
Yesterday the VIX had an intraday low of 11.69 - I'd like to see that again today. If we can rally some more I'll be stepping into the breach and buying more sweet, gentle wall flowers.
Here is what I'm buying today: JCI, GMT, GPC, SMP, GBX.
"According to data provider Lipper, investors put $5.6 billion into U.S. stock mutual funds in the week ended Wednesday. The move puts total inflows for 2013 on track to exceed $60 billion, which would be the first yearly gain since 2005. The surprise is that people are only dipping their toes into a market that's up so much from its low. Steep losses suffered during the financial crisis still weigh heavily on investment decisions by many mom and pop investors." Frankly, the longer they take to get in the higher my boat will float.
I'm now only $55K away from tapping the +$1.5M brass ring - I have three remaining trading days to achieve that goal. In January 2013 my oceanic account took in +$304K - sure wouldn't mind doing that in 2014. That would give me some very nice buying power to start the year on the right note. Snort/
My oceanic account was still bringing in the Kwanzaa cheer: +$62K, +$49K, +$20K, +$24K for a seasons gain of +$155K. Two more days remaining and I have buying power for Monday. The bull has been rather magnanimous this year and that's because I believe in this country - and yes it is a country for old men. Snort.
Coal stocks had a nice run today.... I've been DCAing into CLF, BTU, ANR and WLT over the past couple of months. Last year's dogs could be next years winners... See link below.

I seem to have misplaced my spot on the tracker, have you found it?

All I have to do now is hold the line - and that may or may not be possible. Anyway I'll be collecting sweet wall flowers on Monday. They are only going to get more expensive.
I just wish I could see a shock and awe come Monday - sending the Dow up 200 or 300 points to establish a gap up that never gets refilled - that would set the tone going into 2014. Get in now or forever hold your peace. The wall of worry will be we just have to have a 10% correction - maybe we will or not. I'm going to keep accumulating splendid wall flowers until I drop or the sweet thing in the back office says you have hit your limit old man - then I can start to take some capital gains and keep on buying with that money. I have a goal of making +$2M in 2014 and if the Dow runs to 24,000 I may make more than that. Am I a dreamer, of course, am I greedy, of course, will I succeed, of course.
