Looks like it jumped up a bit recently, I wonder why. I'm still down, but working my way up to positive it looks like. Bought in not at it's peak, but close. Bought a little bit more later on when it was less than what it is now in order to average it down some.

I did similar.

Well, I'm only up $3 today, so it's a Costco hot dog and coke instead of a McDonalds value meal.  :laugh:

I'm back down to the $1.50 Costco hotdog.  :laugh:

The one that's pissing me off right now is GE. That has been a stable dividend engine for me for years, but I'm now in negative territory with it for the first time ever. If it gets back into the 18.5 range and just into the green for me, I think I might sell half. I'm not going down with another ship like I did with Iridium.

GE's got major problems, especially with it's Finance and Insurance business units.  There was several articles in yesterday's WSJ about how bad things are and that taking the Q4 charge and even breaking up the company may not be enough.

Did I miss a memo ??

It went from $.55 to $.68 in one day ??  (it was as high as $.72 at one point today). Does it have anything to do with Trump imposing tariffs on Chinese solar panels ??

Hot damn! I've got enough for Olive Garden now! Moving up in the world!  :laugh:

Could be the tariffs, but where do we get most of the cobalt for US built solar panels? If still from 3rd world, then there would have to be another input(s).

Interesting article on Apple now looking at procuring cobalt directly from the source. Given Apple's "social justice" philosophy, it will be interesting to see if/how this affects US cobalt. Obviously they can source from Australia and a few other places, but I'll be curious to see if they cut off their Congo suppliers, and if they use enough cobalt to then affect the price.

Well apparently the Trump tariff scare, which tanked a bunch of my stuff this morning, boosted Cobalt. I'm showing a 17.45% gain on the original meager investment.

Yup.  Up .28 per share from when I bought it as of today's close.

Up $.22 from when I bought in.   My $500 investment is now just over $700.  Not bad for about 9 months (I'm still at "HOLD").

From the "hindsight is easy" perspective, now I kinda wish I'd put $10K into it. I might post the opposite in a month.  :lol:

Yeah, I think I'll have to keep that one in the portfolio for a long while in hopes of recovery. If it actually drops to $11 like some "experts" say, I might buy a few hundred shares to help dollar cost average things.
