Investor's Journal is a diary focused strictly on investments and personal finance issues, primarily from a contrarian and retiree point of view. Follow along with an average guy's failures and successes as he learns, by trial and error, the fine art of value investing.


10/2/10-Since the last entry, there have been no new portfolio sales or stocks ready for sale among assets followed here. So, no official redemptions are indicated at this time.

My top-five current low price to book value stocks are: AHCI; DYP; PLAB; RTIX; and SYA.

My favorite among them is Symetra Financial Group (SYA) (recent price $10.35). It meets Benjamin Graham's bargain stock safety and value criteria.

Symetra Financial Group will be added to our nest egg at its market price early Monday, 10/4/10.

10/27/10-Since the last entry, there have been no new portfolio sales or stocks ready for sale among assets followed here. So, no redemptions are indicated at this time.

My top-five current low price to earnings stocks are: CSKI; FLL; FSIN; JGBO; and TRMS.

My favorite among them is Full House Resorts, Inc. (FLL) (recent price $3.44). It meets Benjamin Graham's bargain stock safety and value criteria.

Full House Resorts, Inc. will be added to our nest egg at its market price early tomorrow morning, 10/28/10.

10/31/10-Since the last entry, there have been no new portfolio sales or stocks ready for sale among assets followed here. So, no redemptions are indicated at this time. Our Low Price to Earnings asset, HS, bought last March, is up a little over 65% so far, but its P/E is still only 9.70, so I am hoping it has further to go on the upside and shall retain it in the Low P/E portfolio.

My top-five current low price to book value stocks are: HQS; JGBO; KAZ; PLAB; and SYMS.

My favorite among them is Syms Corp. (SYMS) (recent price $7.28). It meets Benjamin Graham's bargain stock safety and value criteria.

Syms Corp. will be added to our nest egg at its market price early tomorrow morning, 11/1/10.

Disclaimer and Disclosure Statement
Much as I'd love it to be otherwise, I receive no payment of any kind for disseminating investment information unless, by some fluke, millions of folks, on the strength of these entries, start buying shares of stock I own, a possibility only slightly less likely than our being destroyed by a large meteorite. Do not follow any suggestions made in Investor's Journal as if I were a professional.

Neither I nor Investor's Journal will be responsible for losses by anyone who obtained ideas from this site.

This diary is intended for personal interest and general information only. You are advised to do your own research (as well as to consult highly compensated professionals) before spending money on anything.

I know of no reason anyone should take my financial musings seriously. At best I am a dedicated amateur providing a bit of investment-related insight and entertainment, at worst an amusing diversion.

My wife, Fran, and I may at times own shares of some of the assets mentioned here. But neither of us receive any benefit from reference to them, unless you count the mutual misery when we get it wrong, or the opportunity to gloat when we get it right.
