Now as full-time motherhood beckons, I am tempted to become a part-time trader again. Don't get me wrong. I still adhere to Buffet's rules of investing and have focused on buying companies that I know, love, and understand.
One of them is Marvel. I have held Marvel since it last split and bought it at $19.48. A tad too high I was told then but I held on. On paper I have made 20% but I believe the company will make even more money in the long term so I have decided to hold.
Today I was pointed to my first Stock Market Blog. There are a lot of great articles and annoucements on US stocks (which is fine as I buy more US stocks than anywhere else) and one good one on ETFs, which I plan to buy soon.
Two stocks I had wanted to buy before but had lacked funds then have since soared: Google and Ebay. It is heartening to know my judgement is sound and I can rely on it for future investments. Keep an eye on this blog for more posts as I delve back into this area. For now, visit the Stock Market Blog.
