Investing Adventures - Week 3

So i sold the NFLX stock yesterday at 225$ a share - only to get my butt kicked today when it jumped to 233 - ugh. I still gained 900$ but i wished i kept it - would could have predicted that one? Then again i should have known that Netflix will lead the way in terms of multimedia streaming. Oh well - lets not dwell on such things.

New stock bought was EA Games (ERTS) - If I buy Activision Blizzard (makers of WoW and COD) - why wouldnt i buy the makers of Madden, NHL, and upcoming juggernaut Battlefield 3 (it looks gorgeous!) - so 300 shares bought at 22.65$ - this stock i will yield until the release of the game -the bigger the sales the better.

Unfortunately i didnt capitalize on any of the Hurricane Irene stocks but thats fine.

Lets look at my stocks today: HAS has a total gain of 2K approx, STX is up by 86$, MCZ - 19.75 (Note due to exchange rate i'm getting pumelled) CLWR is down by 23, THQI is up 55, and ATVI is up 82.

As for my mutual funds they are up in gain by 263.89$ CAD.

Not bad.

I forgot to mention one of my goals earlier: its to gain 5% cash return on investment per month. If someone gave me 100K can I make 5K in profit with just brain power? Hey If i make more the merrier but 5% gain from stock play is pretty good. Obviously sharks that does 200% gain also have high suicide rates but still 5K from 100K is basically a salary. Lets GO!
