The Market is down seriously and so are my picks . Nonetheless, it’s time for another update on everybody’s performance. Believe it or not, there are 2 bloggers that are positive! Crazy isn’t?

 

RIM

If you ask me, I think it’s over for RIM. I took a serious beating in my own portfolio, sold it at $44. I thought they were able to compete with their Blackberry but it seems that the customers have decided otherwise. While I am still a Blackberry fan (nothing can type faster!), I must admit that it might be my last phone with them too… sometimes, you take guesses and are wrong. RIM is one of the bets I lost! I just hope that it won’t go down further by the end of the year. I promise I won’t pick it next year .

HUZ

Silver was doing well until the recent September debacle when it followed gold in the dive. Then again, I would not hold silver in my portfolio but this is the kind of stock that can help you win a 1 year contest. I think we have room for a jump before the end of the year. Let’s keep our fingers cross!

POT

I’m pretty happy with Potash to be honest. While it is off slightly, it is still in a pretty good position to finish the year strong. If the plan to save European countries is strong enough and news from emerging markets are encouraging, we can easily see Potash going back up and showing a positive gain in 2012.

CVX

Aaahhh… a good old dividend paying stock! Honestly, I’m not surprised to see CVX being my best stock this year. I would not have bet on this stock at the beginning of the year as I was expecting to be my defensive pick in a bull market. But things evolved differently and Chevron played exactly its role! The dividend payout makes it a pick that is positive as of today. No wonder I switched my portfolio towards a dividend investing strategy this year ;-D.
