Note: This is late and I apologize; for some reason, work was randomly blocking sites or not connecting to them.

This is the Monday post for the week of January 24 through January 30, 2011.

Reminders

1.) January is still no-transaction fee month.

There is no fee for buying or selling. Go nuts!

Hi! :) I hope it's okay if I scrap my shares and buy some new ones? I feel like I should use the rest of January and my other shares were doing horrendously... :D


Name: thexpuzzler
Company: Conergy AG
Ticker: CGY ( think it's .DE again)
Time: 12.21 German time
Price: 0,439

I'll put them in the sheet too, they do Solar Energy. We'll see how this one works out for me :)

Recorded! Thank you for doing this for me!

Oh, it should be noted: because google doesn't support ETR as an exchange, at the moment we can't do automatic price updates. So if you want to see progress between the price you bought it at, etc, please just update your sheet under the current price column.

I'm sorry about this. We're working on a solution
