Update for Investments Aug 13-17

For the Rolling Index:

Rules:
We can have at most 10 positions, each having close to a $1000 dollar investment. At first, I was going to buy exactly $1000 worth of stock but you can't buy fractions of stocks, so I have rounded all fractions of stock upward in trying to keep this paper trading system as realistic as possible.
All transactions have $10 commissions.

CURRENT POSITION
BLUD 34.40 (31.65) 29 shares $997.60

TOTAL LOSS -175.28
I acted impulsively on the open Friday and into Thursday's close instead of letting the indicators work. All losesses were on Friday.

Last Week we began the index at 10171.99 and ended at 9996.71
An decrease of 1.7%.
SP 500 INDEX closed last week at 1445.94 from 1453.64.
A 0.53% loss for the week.
