Fantasy Portfolio – October 9, 2009

Important Info: Fantasy Portfolio traded on Wall Street Survivor using principles learned from Jim Cramer’s Action Alert Plus
.
My portfolio update from last week was way off. I copied the previous portfolio update and was going to just change the values and add my comments, but I think I forgot to save the changes I made to it. This week should be correct with the change from DJI to S&P 500 comparison.
I didn’t make any trades this week, as I was very buy with work, life outside of work, and writing my other posts. If we have another pull back in the market, I will be jumping all over the opportunity to purchase the stocks that have declined, and take advantage of the discount. Adding to my positions probably won’t happen until the S&P 500 gets close to $1,000 or the DJI gets near $9,500 with APPL being the stock I will be buying the most of.
AAPL has been climbing higher and higher with no signs of slowing down. I have been wanting to get in after a short 5% decline, but there haven’t been any in the past month. Cramer has a price target for $264, and another analyst came out with a Price is Right style target of $265. The “mobile internet tsunami,” as he puts it is the biggest market mover since the Dot Com days, and could last for years to come.
I hadn’t realized the S&P 500 was up so much for the year. My portfolio is still outperforming it by almost 8%, but I could be doing much better had I been more active. You truly can do better than the S&P 500 and most mutual fund managers by following Cramer’s guidelines and stock advice.

what happened to Saturday cramerica? I suppose with the lack of jvc tv’s that would hamper the effort.
