Portfolio Recap: Nov. 30, 2007

Here comes the daily list of the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. What a week! Things are looking up again, but I shall not rest on my laurels (whatever that means). I have added some current events to the Recap. Enjoy!
THE GOOD:
Aegean Marine Petrol ANW - Up another 3.4% on the day, finally closed above its 50 day MA of $39.24, and hit a 5 day high of $40.81. Nice.
Anadarko Petrol APC - Down fractionally, but got a nice endorsement in Cramer's Lightning Round.
China Mobil CHL - Up 1.4% for the day and hit 5 & 20 day highs of $93.36. Also, an article in Forbes has the CEO of CHL admitting that they are in talks with Apple. Presumably over the iPhone. Click HERE to read the Forbes article.
China Medical CMED - Three straight days gaining at least 4.3%. Up a massive 5.2% on Friday.
ISHARE MSCI BRAZIL EWZ & ISHARES S&P LAT AM40 ILF both had nice gains Friday.
Female Health Co. FHC - Announce 4th quarter results. Click HERE for the story.
Focus Media Holding FMCN - Up 3.8% on Friday. They announced that they will have a huge Billboard on a Ship, floating around the city of Shanghai. You just can not have enough advertising in this world. Click HERE for the announcement.
Florida Power & Light FPL - Doing their part to save the planet, one string of Christmas lights at a time. Click HERE for the article.
Gafisa GFA - Up a whopping 8.0% and hit a new 5 day high $38.00 on Friday. Viva Brasil!

Transocean Inc. RIG - Up 1.0% for the day.

Yamana Gold AUY - Down another 2.o% on the day.
Core Labs CLB - Continue the downward trend, off 2.3% for the day.

Kinder Morgan Energy KMP - Was up 1.0% on the day. Two news stories for KMP; final stock offering was priced at $300 mil HERE, and it settled a law suit for $25 mil (they sold coal that did not belong to them. Tsk, tsk, tsk) HERE.
Synaptics SYNA - Down 5.9% on no news. Strange.
THE UGLY: Reserved for the most precipitous falls from grace.
United Online UNTD - Down again. The dividend yield is now up to 5.1%
