Traveling Trading

I am writing this blog post from the Wilmington airport, among men in suits flipping through their newspapers and a man who is whining to his wife about having to use a pink suitcase since all of the others were taken. It is here where I made my first stock trades. I bought 1000 shares of Pfizer, 500 shares of Wells Fargo, and shares of Exxon. Why did I choose these? Pfizer is a pharmaceutical company and many people need/use pharmaceuticals. I bought Wells Fargo because it is a stable bank. I invetex in Exxon because it is nearing Memorial Day weekend and people who are not celebrating blossom travel to see friends and family for the long weekend. In terms of my emotions, I am glad that the $100,000 is not real as I have already lost a bit of it. Here's hoping it'll improve. But, overall, I feel quite like a businesswoman as I am sitting in the uncomfortable airport seat, typing away on my iPhone, checking the stock app and reading money magazine. The only thing that's missing is a seat in business class.
