Updown Performance : down 0.2% for January 2010

My Updown account is currently down 0.2% for January.   The S&P 500 was down 3.7% that month.   I beat the index by 3.5% which is not bad.

Overall I'm up a total of 4.8% since I started in March 2008.

I didn't make many trades this past month.   I bought some Verizon at $30.80.   It is one of the stocks I had considered buying for my real world Roth IRA.
