Current Holdings

It has been a few months, I was down quite a bit for a few months, but looked at my positions and decided not to change anything. Most of the downturn were some of the cloud stocks I had that had already gone up a lot.

OPWR purchase

I purchased 3% of my account in OPWR.

AMZN purchase

I've purchased and sold AMZN over the past few years.  It looked like it has dropped lately and stabilized so I doubled down.

RALY purchase

RALY has seemed to stabilize and this is when I usually buy these types of IPOs.  I bought some more to level out my cost basis.

Thursday, August 14, 2014

BIND purchase

I bought 3% of my account in BIND.  Found it on the NASDAQ IPO performance site.

Thursday, May 22, 2014

ONTX purchase

I purchased a 1% in my account of ONTX.  Another one I found on the NASDAQ IPO performance site that I have made most of my purchases from in the past few years.  I usually look for ones that are down over the 6 month, but look like they have hit bottom and have an innovative company with potential.


PERI purchase

I purchased a 1% of my holdings in PERI.

Double down on RALY

I'm still not sure about RALY and bought earlier in the IPO process than I usually do.  I've used their software and like it so I bought in, but should have waited.  It's a long term hold so I bought more to drop my cost basis.

Double down on SSNI

I really like SSNI and will hold it for longer term.  It went down so I bought more.

AMGN

Purchased 3% of my account in AMGN

SSNI - Silver Spring Networks - Second purchase

An additional 2% of my holdings, bring my total SSNI holdings to 3%.
