Another Update...

It's time once again for a quick review of my nonretirement portfolio. I usually don't trade much, but here are the closed positions for 2006. The total net return for the closed positions is +20.21%.

Company	BUY	SELL	% Return
Apple Computer	4/3/06 @ $63.64	4/10/06 @ $69.11	8.60%
Brookfield Asset Management	3/13/06 @ $54.76	4/3/06 @ $55.85	3.29%
Leucadia National Corp.	3/13/06 @ $55.64	3/27/06 @ $59.12	6.27%
Nasdaq 100	11/21/02 @ $27.75	3/13/06 @ $40.53	46.06%
Tim Hortons	3/23/06 @ $23.16	3/24/06 @ $31.98	38.07%

And here are my current open positions. Yeah, I know... The recent correction in the biotechs has been painful. These companies will recover as long as Q2 earnings come through. I'm considering selling Sepracor to cut my losses; it's latest earnings report was a big disappointment.
