DOWN DOWN DOWN. The roller coaster ride on Thursday was such a surprise. Actually I was sitting in front of my computer and looking at the 1000 points free-fall drop. My mind was empty, but I was still able to execute a trade to capture this unusual moment. I sold my 10 contracts of Google and made good money. This is not in my short-term portfolio as it is an option trade. Bought GOOG $500 put option July,10 @ $6.6 $6622.45 Sold @ $14 $13977.55 Total gain: $7355.10 Ok, so going back to the short-term portfolio, I was able to buy some more stocks this week at lower price. The market is in a correction mode, but since I am focus on specific stocks only, I am not too worry about holding them. Rogers and Sun Life Ex-dividend dates are coming soon so I bought some to capture the dividend. Bought K at $18.36 Bought SLF at $29.46 Bought RCI.B at $35.50   Short-term Portfolio
