Comment on Buy Low Buy High by Ted

A week after my previous comment Suntrust had gone back down again and I bought another lot of shares. Then it went down and I bought again; it went up and I sold; etc. Today I finally sold my last lot of Suntrust shares. I counted up how many times I had bought and sold shares: 25 times! That’s 50 trades (including the 2 in the original post where I accidentally bought instead of sold and then sold the next day just to break even). I bought shares for as low as $7.50 during that time and hit my last sell target today at $31.10. At one time I had as many as 400 shares, though today I sold my last 25 shares (as the price went down, I bought bigger blocks; the 400 shares represents 7 blocks of stock).

I have a case made of rubber that goes around the sides and on the back, but I rarely use it. I like to keep the bulk down. Doing nothing worked for 2 and half years. I may look around for a better case.

Do you have a bumper or case? A slim case with thicker bumper corners might prevent a future shatter.

I bottled my batch today. I am not at all optimistic. It has an off smell, the beer is still cloudy, and the taste is bitter, not particularly like beer. But I went ahead and bottled it anyway since the only additional cost is a little sugar. I am hoping Jeb’s will turn out better when he bottles next weekend.

Grant has always been a good story teller (liar).

I still think you are smart. I really like shopping online and having all the choices but I DO NOT enjoy returning or shipping costs.

Could you take some of those to someone? I wish I lived closer!

It sounds like I would like the Abbey Ale too. If you ever get another female lab you could name her Abbey the Labby.

I hope you don’t come down with the gout after drinking all that beer!

re: “but I wasn’t fast enough.”
You should have gotten a T-Shirt for being the person who would blog the most about all of this!

Sounds like a fun time. I’m glad you were walking.
