My portfolio is doing moderately well. The upturns in the s&p 500 and composite indicate we are in the start of an uptrend and should start buying.

 My two oil stocks are up (as are other oil stocks) and there is no sign of an October crash. Another week and I might start buying again.

CANADIAN OIL SANDS LTD [COS] (up for me)    +65.77%
SUNCOR ENERGY INC NEW [SU]      (up for me)    +13.25%

Wow. 

I am glad I hung onto both can. oil sands and suncor.

CANADIAN OIL SANDS LTD [COS] up +57.25% [for me]

SUNCOR ENERGY INC [SU] up +2.82% [for me]
