Rotation: selling BWS; buying HTSI (Harris Teeter Supermarket).

More mundane types of stocks are cropping up here: shoes, groceries…

I have more to write about tax policy and the arithmetic limits to Federal power, but tonight just this short note.

As always, a negative gap would cancel the Monday trade.

Tim,

Thanks for ALL the informative posts. We you get a free moment, can you please explain how the S&P Annualized is only 5.72%?

Thanks,
Harry

I started the open portfolio on 5/31/2011.

All of the annualized numbers are from 5/31/2011 to the present.

I probably should post that occasionally.
