Return for 1st quarter of 2012

I am thankful to report that the return for my self-managed 401K for the first quarter of 2012 is 35.4%.
My other account seems to be about the same but the reporting lags a bit (roughly 33% through the end of 2/2012).

It's been an interesting year so far with the issues in Europe.  Although the situation seems to be improving somewhat - http://www.bloomberg.com/video/89345081/ .

I'm still holding long positions in AAPL by the way.  More interesting data here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/op?s=AAPL+Options , http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=AAPL+Analyst+Opinion , http://research.investors.com/quotes/nasdaq-apple-inc-aapl.aspx?fromsearch=1 , http://research.investors.com/stockcheckup/nasdaq-apple-inc-aapl.aspx .

Good luck with your trading / investing.  Cheers.

Update 3/20/12

Apologies for not updating this sooner.  I was stopped out of my long position in Apple the other day at $590. I might consider another long position, or positions, in AAPL.  The data (call volume, analyst price targets, sales, etc...) looks pretty good so far.

It'll be interesting to see how the market reacts to the dividend and stock buyback initiative.  There's still concerns about Europe and China also...  Best of luck with your investing / trading.  Cheers.

Update: I bought back into AAPL at roughly $595.94.  Have a good one.

Still bullish on the fruit stand and iPad 3 is on the way.

I may sound like a broken record but I am still bullish on AAPL. An announcement regarding the iPad 3 is due on 3/7.  Call options volume still looks good and other technical data points and fundamentals look favorable as well.  There were some interesting Bloomberg podcasts recently regarding the overall market and Apple as well.  Good luck with your trading / investing.  Cheers.
