Woah! It's been almost a week since my last post, but rest assured we're still around, and yes, we're still in business!  The S&P 500 was volatile this week, but ended the week down marginally by 0.74%.     Our portfolio had mixed results this week - winners include ARO (+2.96%), LINC (+2.72%), and WMS (+1.85%).  Losers include GS (-2.17%), XHB (-2.84%), and SBUX (-1.79%).  Al...

It was a down week for the broader market, with the S&P 500 index dipping 2.2%.  The real question is how long this correction is going to last as we wrap up the third quarter and move into earnings season next month. There were no changes to our portfolio.  Our stocks generally declined this past week together with the broader market, with a notable exception being LINC.  LINC rallied 8...
