Financial Stats for 2007-01

Here is the monthly activity for January:

1) Google Adsense:
I did nothing with my Adsense campaign in January either, however, the revenue is back up over 13% from last month, and this next month I DO plan to work with another friend on taking more agressive action in this area! One thing to keep in mind with the rather wild percent changes from month to month, is that right now the total income is about $50/mo, so even small dollar amounts can affect the percentage quite a bit. Look forward to a bigger jump next month!

2) PayPal Money Market:
PayPal has lowered their annual rate to 5.02% which means about 0.409% gains for the month.

3) Stocks (three portfolios):
Personal picks: -28.26%, -4.21% (change during last month)
TurnerTrends ETF-10: -2.65% (change during last month)
A pretty sorry month here, but I know very well what I did wrong, and the big -28% loss should only be temporary since it's mostly a single stock that got away from me this last week, and I am still in... expecting that it will be coming back my way with in 1 more week (maybe two). Over all, I'm not worried about it.

4) Second Life:
Through January we are still at the 0.10% daily rate, about 3% gains per month and 43% annual. Besides a very healthy investment gain, I was able to add about L$12,000 (US$45) from camping alone.

5) BrownBagLaunch:
No income yet, but another friend and I are going to start pushing our new web site hosting biz a little further and hopefully we'll start seeing something by next month. I suppose I will have to make a separate post about this new stream soon.
