Year in review

Thanks for reading along all year. I'll have more time for the market and blogging in January 2007.

Looking over my trades for 2006, the bottom line is that I am up about 10% to 12% for the year. This underperformed the major stock indices. However, my style entails less risk than buy and hold. I closed out 103 trades for the year. The average holding period is 38 days. Exact performance numbers are difficult to ferret out because I move money in and out of my trading account. For the most part, it has been a good year.

Some of my winners include BAB British Air, GM General Motors, PDLI Protein Design Labs. Some of my losers include BBY Best Buy, AMD Adv Micro Devices, WIRE Encode Wiring.

Happy New Year. Cheers.
