[QUOTE="Benben, post: 1131939, member: 25133"] [b]Re: UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 20[/b] My Merril Edge account now sits at a hair under 6K. I started in September with $1,800. I have put $50 in each and every Friday and have not pulled anything out. Other than 1 extra addition I put in to buy 1 stock (I think it was under $300) the remainder is all divis, gains and appreciation. Beats the hell out of the 0.01% interest savings account I raided to start with the $1800. Just checked the 401K account. Up 14.14% for the year thus far. [B]14.14% in 5 months![/B] There is no way the market can keep moving like this can it? Don't get me wrong I would love a 30% gain for 2013. I am on track to be at $25K in the broker account by 2014. I am planning to transfer 100 available shares of UPS from Computershare and the 3% after tax withholdings from the 401K account. So in 2014 I should be able to avoid the trading fees. At that point I plan to shift more into "trading" as opposed to "investing." On a side note, I am starting to hear talk about the Fed possibly ending QE3, which is a prelude to the end of ZIRP. I think things are going to get real interesting in the next 6 months. I will play the RNO "game" for the next divi run-up and plan to watch the ECT play this time around. After the RNO sale and this month's divis I am looking for my next purchase as the account has cash waiting to be put to use. [/QUOTE]
