Kelly has finished writing and illustrating her first story.  After we format it a little more, I will publish it on our main web page.  She is very close to finishing her second story, too.  We will post them with their illustrations.  You can see the progress in her writing from one story to the next.  They are really quite a fun read.

Today, I made a little bit of a mistake on my stock purchasing.  Instead of buying two stocks, I bought only one.  I bought PTEN at 23.25.  I was going to buy two stocks, but got into only one.  It looks good though, so I am going to leave it like it is for the time being.  We are doing quite well with our purchases so far.  We are well above the S&P 500, which is the goal of the whole program.  The following graph shows how we are doing after the first month (blue is S&P 500, green is our picks):
