How To Double Your Way To A Million In 28 Steps
To assist my Stake growth I have continued to do several more stock trades. I am hoping that this will be the method I am able to build my stake in the future.

I missed the good move by not holding that last trade in UCO (Oil) until friday(23rd) as it went up to $13.31 . I had a feeling it was going to break upward soon but I was suffering from a migraine on thursday and decided to sit friday out because I wasn't feeling well. Turns out friday was the day it decided to go higher.

The beautiful thing about it all is there will always be another opportunity coming along later on down the line so there is no need to fret about losing out on this one.

In addition I found ($0.03) on the floor at Burger King. It would have been more as I spotted about ($0.09) on the counter and asked the cashier about it but he took it instead of letting me have it. You can't win them all.

At the present time I am $139.50 away from completing Step 19.

Present Stake: $2420.50

Double To A Million - Step 19 - Stock Trade

How To Double Your Way To A Million In 28 Steps

I made my first Stock Trade for 2009 for DTAMP and made a little money on it. I sold it prematurely as the stock continued to climb for awhile, after exiting the trade, to a high of $15.67 as of the time of this posting.

I am a little nervous holding the stock for any length of time because I am concerned it is presently in the high end of its present range and may decline in the near future. I do not want to get caught stuck in the trade should it begin to drop on me.

Double To A Million - Step 19 - 2008 WrapUp

How To Double Your Way To A Million In 28 Steps
2008 was a difficult year. Surprisingly so in fact. One bad thing after another occurred in the many facets of life from financial to personal. Not only for me but it seems for many people all over the world. It was just one bad year and I am glad to see it go.

Each year that has come I have always hoped that it would be better than the last but I have been finding that, instead, each year has become increasingly more difficult. Yet, I still attempt on New Year's Eve to muster an every diminishing amount of hope that perhaps this year will, in fact, get a bit better than the last.

It will take a pretty horrible year to match 2008 for me. But things can only get so bad, or can they? But I am still hopeful that 2009 will be better or at least not anywhere as atrocious and devastating as 2008. Time will tell.

In the meantime here is the final wrap up for DTAMP for the end of 2008.

Since November 11th, 2008:

* Received ($100.00) for running an Advertisement on the DTAMP Blog

* Found ($0.55) in change on the ground in various places

* Received a ($25.00) Gift to DTAMP from a Benefactor that I have been assisting with guidance and advice regarding their finances.

* Made ($98.24) on a Stock Trade.

Hopefully we can shake off the dust of 2008 and go forward with the hope of a good 2009.

Happy New Year to one and all.
