Sunny and seventy degrees here in Bellevue, Washington, and the portfolio is on the rise again. +$48.89 is the tally for the day. Blackboard (BBBB) was down 9% at one point today, but it ended up closing down only a little less than 3%. That's kind of a bummer, but Toll Brothers (TOL) was up $1.35 (2.37%), Sears (SHLD) was up a whopping $4.65 (2.93%), and New York & Co. (NWY) was up 45 cents (1.96%) on news of their acquisition af Jasmine (that $700 a square foot should really help NWY's bottom line). Even my Paxar (PXR) was up a dime. EEM was a penny higher.
With TOL and NWY moving up and BBBB moving down, TOL is now the #1 gainer in my portfolio, NWY is #2, and BBBB is #3.
The "tech rally" stumbled with some lackluster earnings reports last night after the bell and XLK closed down 7 cents -- I'm about even on that (I have made just enough money to pay the commission if I were to sell it).
