EIX (Edison) purchase

I'm missing my GLD (Gold) and SLV (Silver) hedges against inflation. I did some digging and found that big caps are good and I've been buying those lateley, but I also learned that utilities are good since they also just raise prices with inflation. So I made a 1.9% of my account purchase in EIX (Edison) at 53.09. I almost made it a 4% purchase, but I'm going to split it into two purchases so you'll probably see another buy next week.

My account did a nice uptick yesterday thanks to DRIV, SNE and ATVI. I don't expect it to hold, but it is nice to see positive days.

IBM purchase

I've been very concerned about inflation for the past year and one of the big reasons I was holding GLD and SLV until they spiked like crazy. I read that another hedge against inflation is big chip companies and since they have not moved in years I've been holding GE (5%) for the past year and it has done fairly well for me.

Today I bought IBM at 115.51 (6% of my account).
