A couple of portfolio moves to end 2007

Did some last minute portfolio tweaking to end 2007 today

Bought some shares of TCCO,GVSS and another to be named later stock

Sold some AXLE for a tax loss and a bit more CXPO to rebalance it in my portfolio.

It has been one fantastic year overall. It appears I ended 2007 up what is a truly ridiculous 171%.

I believe that would be the best number ever for a year when my portfolio wasn't under $20,000. Quite a number of 100% plus gainers with some over 300% contributed to that including VII, ARTW, EDAC, HLXH, AYSI, DGLY, DYII, CXPO

It has been a great year in microcap land for both investing and trading. I am cautious about 2008 but I will always deploy money when there is a compelling reason for a stock to go up in value. Next year I will likely be a bit more cautious focusing more on stocks that have some resistance to recession should that happen. I am definitely avoiding stocks with negative balance sheets and weak balance sheets will need a bigger up side to get me to take a chance.

I will likely write again later this week with a short write up on a new pick

To all who read this blog I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

Very impressive gain for 2007. I too was in CXPO and have a good chunk of change in DGLY and AYSI.

Thanks for posting your blog on your investment thoughts. I read it every time it is updated.
