Weekly Roundup - August 24, 2013


This past week was very busy for me.  It started off with a quick call out on Monday to head back to work.  I was hoping to be home at least until Tuesday and maybe until Wednesday, but they got things done at the rig much faster than I expected.  I don't like starting these jobs up because it's a lot of work for about 2 days, then catch up on sleep, then a lot of work for 2 days, then catch up on sleep and then everything slows down a bit and it's much better from then on.  But the the start is such a pain and time is very short.  I was hoping to get at least one stock analysis out this week but I was too pressed for time.  I'll get at least one out next week and hopefully two or three.  There wasn't much to do with my portfolio this past week.  Although I did sell off some more shares of Halliburton and closed my position in Alcoa.  I also started a small position in IBM as well and I'm hoping to be able to add to it over the coming months.  It's going to be great to start investing capital again after taking most of the last 1.5 months off due to the upcoming house purchase.

We're now into week 3 of February which is crazy.  This past week was extremely busy for me between finishing up a job, going home for a few days, and coming back to work to start a new job up.  It's good to be back at work though and have things...

This past week has been an absolute whirlwind.  My wife and I continued to move things over to the new house and then of course it was time for me to head back to work on Tuesday.  I really dislike when I first get back because we drill for a day and...
