USG: I managed to snatch defeat from the very jaws of victory on this one by closing out half my USG position 30 minutes before Buffett news hit the wires. Closed the rest on the up pop with no news yet seen. What could have been a nice profit is now a small tax loss. Am now busily investigating email alert systems...the filing was public about an hour before the wires got it. Grump!

I'll have to put USG back on my watch list!

Starting a small position in ALC today. Nice little heartland industrial company.

Added to my small position in SFN:

Also continuing to sell losing positions in a number of stocks that I've given a little time to work out (18 months), but with which I've just lost patience. I will take the tax loss offset to reduce capital gains elsewhere.
