Bought more ACU, SAFM, sold CRYP

I added to my holdings of Sanderson Farms Chicken because its price had declined 25% or so from my initial purchase, and I like this company. As long as they don't get a bird flu catastrophe, this looks like a pretty sure moneymaker for years to come. I also bought more of Acme United, the scissors maker, because they had dropped a bit from last July -- when, if you remember, I sold a portion of my holdings because it had gone up more than seemed warranted. Now I buy them back cheaper! That's how it's supposed to work -- but this strategy has murdered me with CEDC, which never has had the courtesy to plummet after I sell so I can buy it back cheaper.

I also sold some of my Cryptologic, because they are paying their executives way too much money, and they had kind of a snotty letter to shareholders who complained about this practice. I kept about half.

SAFM looks like a safe investment with excellent doubling prospects. If they drop more, I'll buy even more. I listened to their conference call, and I like their no-nonsense attitude, too.
