I wanted to buy more SLW (silver) but didn’t have the cash. Right now I’m trading the tax-free account and there’s an annual limit to how much I can add there. So, I got out of the XLF trade for a total profit of $3.20, and added SLW.

I added SLW twice since the initial buy-in on Feb 7. My ACB on it is $35.58. [ edited to add: current price (SLW: 26.41 +3.73%) ]

A note on options: XLF options are fairly priced and track the stock very very well. Surprised me. SLW options are lagging behind. Didn’t surprise me

What’s up with the dollar? I still have some US$ left, should I just convert it all to Cad$?

I’ve been selling my templates elsewhere for some time now, and finally got around to putting them on my site. You’ll pay less here, directly, since I’m not giving a cut to anyone. Yep, keeping it all.

Check out the new “Template Shop”.

Currently there are three documents available: Investment tracking chart, Covered calls calculator, and Straddles calculator.

Feedback is welcome, although I’m pretty sure you won’t have much to complain about. Spreadsheets have been tried and tested many times. I promise, you won’t be my “guinea pig”, others have done it for you already.

Effective Monday January 25th, 2010 option symbols will change to a new format.

Is this for everyone or just my brokerage?

Looks confusing.
