The last time we visited, the S&P 500 (SPY) was around $400 per share. It is currently around $390 per share at the time of writing this article (roughly the same price). As you know, we added to positions during the recent pullback from the 200 day mavg, which we predicted would happen, as the…

It’s not everyday that one gets to say that. In truth, a $500,000 account yields $2,000,000 in buying power. It’s just that, since I am already heavily invested, including being in over $200,000 margin, reaching $1,000,000 in buying power is still a remarkable feat.

When the market has a big run, it is prudent to take profits and rebalance your portfolio. However, it’s also wise to treat yourself occasionally just so that you don’t forget why you started. Eventually, an electronic bank account doesn’t feel real unless you splurge a little bit. So, I am buying a new watch that…
