Stocks Double in Six Months

The new year will bring a new direction and focus for this blog. The writings here have always been meant to follow the story of building a fortune out of nothing. This began in June when I asked my youngest brother to split a $100 deposit into a Zecco Account just to see what we could accomplish in a short amount of time, helped with zero commission trades. The result: We doubled the money as 2007 came to a close. We did a great job in a short amount of time and this has inspired some goals for 2008.

1)Make it a family affair. Three brothers collectively sharing ideas and making money.
2)Double again by Dec31, 2008 (or sooner!)

We will begin by doing an account reset. $50 is on its way into the account. I've also included my excess holdings into our figures which unfortunately did not do remotely as well and will drop our overall percentages. All together we will be starting with holdings totaling $297. Rounding up a bit we arrive at a year end goal of $600.
Gone this year are the free trades though, as our account is under the new $2500 minimum account balance that is required. We simply have to work that much harder and make wise choices in our stocks.
Stocks that are currently in play:
CBAK
FRPT
DFNS
IOGH
I hope everyone's new year is off to a great start and wish everyone a fast fortune!
