Tracking My Seeking Alpha Performance

As it is often mentioned on the Seeking Alpha contributor forums but has yet to be implemented, I thought it would be interesting to track my own performance on the site. Since I usually avoid giving very specific buy advice in my articles, I will simply limit the performance-tracking to stocks that I wrote favorably about. I will only include stocks that have been written about more than two months ago, to provide better perspective. I will include the company name and ticker as well as the date the article was published and the stock's approximate price per share at the time of publication and subsequent gain/loss.

(All numbers includes dividends reinvested where applicable)
