Slow start to the week for my portfolio. I'm up about 50 bucks on paper today with most of my positions unchanged. I took a bad hit last week, and I really need to start making money again. I can't take it out of the market to spend while the market is taking it out of me. I'm not worried long term, but short term things have been ugly since about the time I decided to start blogging about it. It'll all come out in the wash.
