Stocks I bought and sold this week

This week I sold 206 shares of AUY to collect my profits. I hold this stock for over a year and earned about 54% in earnings. 

I bought 3 stocks this week:

95 shares of F at $12.68
I already have shares of Ford in my portfolio but I like dividends and this is one of these stocks which I probably will just keep forever.

100 shares if RCII at $10.86
This one I will watch for a while and if it goes up, I will sell it.

13 shares of GILD at $79.48
same plan as RCII

I am still watching WFC, MGA and VOD but it will be August purchases unless something else will catch my attention. I will keep posting my watch list if I have enough updates.

Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts.
