Update on Questrade Margin Account

Start date:  July 8, 2010
My goal:  To make $2500 in capital gains by end of 2010.
Capital:  $5000 of my own money plus using margin to buy board lots
Method:  Buying in on dips and selling at peaks

Within a short few months, I’ve managed to realized $1058.08 in capital gains.  I am very close to my goal.  AGU and GIX is a current hold as they have potential for more price appreciation.

Here is the breakdown of my realized profits:
Period of holding July 8-Aug 3:  BMO      $522.78
Period of holding Aug 6-Aug 11:  SGR      ($29.90)
Period of holding Aug 6-Aug 20:  RCI.B  $190.10
Period of holding Sep 22-Oct 14:  BBY     $375.10

Here is the breakdown of my unrealized profits:
Period of holding Aug 20-present:  AGU   $1047.05
Period of holding Sept 22-present:  GIX    $365.05
