As up today, I only got three comments. The purpose of my project was to educate myself in investing in the Stock Market, and hopefully share my experience with others. By using YAHOO FINANCE free resources I have been able to share my experience with the "Message Board" where many users from the community at large exchange investment ideas. My number one lesson that I learned is the difference between investing and speculating. I wrote this in my previous posts. I will follow Benjamin Graham's advice when investing:
"An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis,
promises safety of principal and a satisfactory return. Operations not meeting
these requirements are speculative".
This ends my blog for the 20% project. The updated portfolio shows that in the past months its value has increased by $277 mostly on account of a rising overall market.
Here's my updated (as of 5/2/2014) portfolio spreadsheet in GOOGLEDOCS SPREADSHEET which takes some struggle when working with Yahoo Finance:
