Putting Some Cash to Work

We added two positions to our Virtual Value Portfolio this week. Coca-Cola (KO) was a re-entry into a stock we’d profited on earlier. Wal-Mart (WMT) shares represented a new purchase for us although we had shorted WMT Jan. 2016 puts for the Virtual Put Writing Portfolio on Feb. 4th.

Both KO and WMT raised their dividends this week, Coke by 8.93% and WMT by 2.13%.

The S&P 500 was higher for most of Friday but turned lower in the last hour of trading this week. It ended at 1,836, down 0.1 percent for the week.

Our value-oriented portfolio crept 0.6% higher while the index marked time.

 VVP as of FGeb. 21, 2104

Our original $100,000 stake has grown by more than 38% since we got it rolling on October 26, 2012. Our cash reserve is now just below 10% of our total assets.
