Returns to 02.12.10

I'm still holding shares of AgFeed Industries, MGM Mirage, Bank of America, and VMWare. I've moved some more cash into my brokerage account (on the chart above, every time there's a break in my returns it's because I added cash to my account) and I'm thinking about correlation. Diversified I am not.

Geometric return since 10/01/2008: 14.06%. A geometric return corrects for money withdrawn or deposited over the life of an investment. So, if you had given me $100 to invest for you back in October of 2008, it would be worth $114.06 now. If you had invested that $100 in a Dow Jones index, it would be worth $93.24. Although, as you can tell from the graph above, I haven't really made any progress since June.
