We’re in the middle of
a great month here in November 2013 – plenty of new highs getting strung along
so far this week. That’s put most of my
positions, which are all S&P 500 stocks, in the money, or close to it. I used the trading action of the last two
weeks to do some adjustments on the shares that hadn’t made it to that
status: F and IP.
For F, the position is
right at the target of 12% annualized return, the goal for Rescue My IRA
positions, while IP is performing slightly better than that. Here’s the analysis of the two positions.
