Port update

Had a little more time this morning (finally) and was able to update the Port with the ARNA sell last week. It's all timing, sometimes... the one point I was able to log on to look at the actual price (something I do for every Port transaction - whatever time I look, that is the price I use at the bid or ask) ARNA was at just about it's lowest point of the day - $1.48. It was up more than 10% within an hour after that!

Today I sold 200 AMAG (getting tired of waiting for Feraheme sales and safety issues to die down) and 2000 AOB (China pharma hit the skids). I turned around and bought 6000 CLSN at $3.09.

Port now looks like:
2000 NBIX
1600 ELN
400 DNDN
6000 CLSN
2500 SGMO
7000 ONTY
3500 VICL
7000 PZG
2000 MNKD

It's worth just under $125K, which means I've reverted to the mean - I have about a 10% annual return in about 2.5 years. Now, the S&P has returned around -5% and the Nasdaq is 2.8% over that same period, so I can't be too sad but it's absolutely NOT where I want to be (neglecting the Port for 3-5 months at a time doesn't help)! I intend to be back to at least a 13-15% return by the end of the year.

Regards,
Trond
