August 2009 Trading

Well, unfortunately, August was my slowest month of trading to date. I realized my least gain to date and was invested less than any past month. But on the positive side, my margins were great. earning 13.2% on the investments that I was able to make.

I sold the following holdings:

• Boeing
• Corus Entertainment (Class B) - Held for 64 days, my longest holding to date.

At the end of the month, I held the following and am less than 15% invested. Gotta get a bigger stake to increase my gains, but not comfortable at the current price levels:

• Lockheed Martin Corp - Even
• Eli Lily and Company - Up 2.9%
• Abbott Labs - Up 3.8%

I received dividends on the following:

• Corus Entertainment (Class B)
