Double A Penny - Step 20 - DTAMP MeltDown

How To Double Your Way To A Million In 28 StepsDTAMP - Double To A Million Plan Blog

The disaster in Japan has caused a lot of misery for its people. A 9.0 Earthquake, 30 foot Tsunami, Ten Thousand or more people perishing, people suffering without electricity, food, water, heat and other basic essential, Nuclear reactors in a meltdown scenario, the fear of radiation spreading.

Indirectly, I have been affected by the disaster in Japan and DTAMP has as well.

I was in a trade with all the DTAMP funds in the shipping stock "EGLE" before the catastrophe in Japan and the stock dropped giving me substantial loses. I was also in personally in the stock and this was the second big drop I endured since last November. I could not risk any more with the DTAMP funds so I bailed out.

DTAMP had its own Meltdown, losing $517.11 and setting it back for the second time in two years with big stock losses.

It is very discouraging. I sold on St. Patrick's Day. There was no Green to be found only RED!!

Here is the rundown of the equities trade.

DTAMP Equities Plan Report:

02/07/11 - Buy - 1062 shares of EGLE @ $4.13 p/s - Total $4386.06
03/17/11 - Sold - 1062 shares of EGLE @ $3.66 p/s - Total $3886.92

Total (-$499.14) - ($17.97) Fees = (-$517.11)Net Gain of (-11.76584)% in the Amount of (-$517.11)
There is a long road ahead to rebuild DTAMP. Although my loss is nothing to compare with the poor victims of the disaster in Japan, I can identify, at least in a very tiny way, with the heartbreak of things being lost suddenly.

My heart and prayers go out to the people of Japan in their desperate time of need.

Double A Penny - Step 20 - The Good News

I had surgery on February 24th and heard from the doctor on Monday that they did not find any cancer from the biopsy! It is such a relief. The red area in the bladder was smaller which is good as well.

I asked how often I would need to go in for these surgeries and he said every three months. If they do not find any cancer over the next year then it will be bumped up to every four months then the following year every six months. Hopefully it will go out to only once a year eventually.

The last blog post was an advertisement that brought in $96.80 for DTAMP which was a big help. I am only $500.97 away from reaching Step 21 at this point.

The "Doubler's Den Forum" will remain online for another year! Please visit it and support it financially in whatever way you can so that it can remain a place for Doublers to gather. Thanks.
