Why I Swapped Haemonetics for Oshkosh

Patrick,

Congratulations on your "infallible" trading account. And your good luck with Oshkosh. Be careful with that margin account as sometimes we can get a bit over-confident and end up leveraging our losses. The small size of my purchases is an indication of the small size of this particular account, does not reflect either a wealth or paucity of wisdom behind the trades!

Thanks for taking the time to write!

Why I Swapped Haemonetics for Oshkosh

Richard,
Thanks for your note. OSK now doing a stock sale so I may be behind on the data from Morningstar. Regardless, I have also now sold my shares with only a 3 day ownership of this stock--due to the price decline, I hit my own (8)% loss limit.

Thanks for writing and commenting. You made an outstanding sale at $32.50.

I think that is my typo. These are stocks as of December 31, 2008. I am probably not old enough to have these kind of 'senior moments'....:). Thanks for the correction. Have a Happy New Year!
