Dynegy (DYN) stock took a massive drop after it reported paying off debt, but then took a nice rebound. I waited for the stock to drop rock bottom, then make its way up. I have a limit order for 220 shares of Dynegy at $4.65, but unfortunately the market is on a holiday schedule.

Dynegy was also upgraded by several firms to $5.10

I plan to hold Dynegy for the longterm, so I may sell a few shares if it reaches that target, then buy it again if it goes lower. This was I can keep the stock longterm, but extract some profit along the way.

Dynegy looks like it’s back on track and ready to make a rebound. In the short term I still think the stock will be shaky, but 2+ years everything looks alright.

Bought on September 13th as an experimental trade, SCON turned out to be quite a loser. The original investment was a paultry $387, so I decided to let it stick around to see what happens. The company had a decent product aimed towards the telecommunications market and a lot of good press. The last few weeks the stock slowly started rising, jumped over 30% in one day, and today finally hit my target sell price of $1.40.

Today marked the day when Superconductor Technologies (SCON) finally paid off. I was originally trying to just break even, but it paid off holding it. It at least paid off the loss I made on JBL two days ago.

Jabil Technologies (JBL)

Bought 45 shares at $25.84 one day, sold the next day for $25.35 when the stock started slipping despite a slightly better than expected earnings report. -$22.05

Today I bought 45 shares of Jabil Circuit Inc (JBL) at $25.83 a share. I put some money on them because they provide the inner workings of today’s modern gizmos…not to mention they were reporting earnings today.

Jabil Circuit Inc. reported after the market closed that sales rose 21% and earnnings climbed 32% for the quarter. Earnings estimates were beat by $.01, not much, but this makes them ripe for a slow advance during the holiday season. Hopefully I can get a nice 8 or 10% gain during the next few days.

45 shares JBL @ $25.83 = $1162.35



Shares of JBL must rise to $27.90 for me to get an 8% gain.

On this recent post I detailed what progress I should be making after final exams finished. I am at home in Houston now and have somehow been distracted everyday.

This is no good. I’ve set out goals for myself and I have not met them. This needs to change. With whatever small amount of spare time I get during my two weeks in New York, I should try to:

• Finalize updates on Timber Trace website.
• Inquire about best options for opening 2nd brokerage account.
• Get Resumite ready to do business (finalize all sample sites).
• Add new content to online business everyday.
• Finalize traffic alleviation proposal on I-35 in Austin.
• Create new investment ideas.
• Have fun.
• Meet my goal of making $5,000 by 12-31-2004.

If you see me moseying around anywhere, make sure you ask me if I have first completed ALL of the above!
