Buy: AES @ $21.59; ATU @ $47.26
Sell: half of KMX @ $55.15
A good chunk of this month's profit came from KMX; I should offer a newsletter service that lets people know when I sell stock, so that they can get in on it. (BBI is up a painful 70% since I sold it.) KMX went up another 5% after I rebalanced my portfolio. AES got immediately hit by Venezuelan confiscations, which I mistakenly thought were already priced into the stock. PIR had a good month, as did FLWS; CBH, not so much.
