I'm over the $3,000 line again!!! It's been forever. I was losing faith. For those who might not follow along my every single entry with laser focus...

In 1999 I took $2,000 and opened an Ameritrade account. I bought and sold vast quantities of stock until by about mid 2000 I felt set and stayed with what I have today:

Krispy Kreme - 60 shares (it's split twice)
Federated Stores - 9
Tivo - 34
I also have 16 shares of WebVan which Ameritrade tells me every single day are still worth $0.00

This pot o' gold has gone as high as about $3,800, but lately has languished around $2,800.... until today...

TADA!!! $3,033.05! The tide is turning...

Yeah, but do you have a job? No. Ergo, it is a jobless recovery.

I've still got my Webvan stock, too (and a ton of shirts and other swag as well). Sad, isn't it?

Around here, it's not Webvan that we mourn so much as HomeGrocer.Com. About every 3 months or so, some local reporter digs up the guy who started HomeGrocer.Com and begs him to bring it back. He has never said never so we all cling to the hope. (I actually have a few bits of WebVan swag and a fair amount out HomeGrocer.Com but I never did get the coveted delivery guy shirt. I had a friend who got one but I never did...)

I've got a very nice HomeGrocer.com fleece pullover that I still wear on occasion. And somehow a couple of the old HomeGrocer vans ended up here in Tampa. They've got a new company name stenciled on the side of the cab, but still have the big peach painted on the back.
