Week In Review 10-26-2007

What a wacky week! I can't believe I actually made money--and good money at that. I had a hard time avoiding the news and I benefited from all the power and internet outages.

For the week the portfolio was up 7.52% which brings the portfolio to its highest point this year at a little under 48%.

I assumed that my mechanical screens would struggle this week, but they ended up doing pretty well.

I took my first foray into options today, and it wasn't as confusing as I assumed that it would be. I'll keep everyone updated on how things progress, but I see some opportunities in the options market and I need to quit being scared (and ignorant) of them.
