My rate of return for the year through 6/24

I just check my rate of return for the year so far and my account says, "Personal Rate of Return from 01/01/2010 to 06/24/2010 is 17.4%".  That's not too bad since the market has been a bit wonky lately.  I'm still working on improving my market view and considering other strategies as well.  Have a good weekend.  Cheers.

Radio and book resources

Here are a couple radio and book resources that you might enjoy.  http://www.bloomberg.com/radio/ has a great show called Bloomberg Surveillance with Tom Keene.  It's an interesting way to keep up on what's going on in the market.


Portfolio Theory and Capital Markets by William F. Sharpe is a very interesting book.  It gives one methods to quantify expected returns, probabilities, and much more.



I'm still holding MAT and EXPE for now and they're doing well. Best of luck with your trading / investing. Cheers.
