I failed!

Okay, it's not that I lost any money. I made money. But I did not have the discipline to keep the money in investments. The family desperately needed a new vehicle, so I withdrew my stock investments, all except for GE, and used it as part of the down payment. I look back, and I see that was quite a mistake on all counts. What's sad is that I knew this was going to happen!

My only remaining stock is GE, which is, as of right now, $18.35 a share. My 30.629 shares of GE stock has a total value of $562.04. I am thinking about cashing that in as well, since I just made another major purchase.

Sigh. It's a winning market, but I can't seem to hang with it. I guess I better stick with my 401k.
