i.e. – Speaking to my financial adviser in North Dakota, she recommended that I should purchase 20 shares of Cellu Tissue Holdings, Inc. (CLU), an initial public offering at 12.901 per share. Over the next couple of days, the climbed 12 basis points yielding 9.5 percent I rolled my capital gains and invested in Jo-Ann Stores (JAS) at 35.201 per share. Later in the month, I sold short some of the shares. Over the next couple of days I picked 40 shares of Black Rock Income Trust (BKT) at 20.146 per share.

AND

Summering in West Virginia during 2008, it was a tough time for the market, with the failure of Bear Sterns and Lehman’s. I cashed out 50 shares of ACE Limited (ACE) at 48.234 due to the insurance industry taking a hit in the financial crisis, and converted to treasury , which kept my losses to a minimum and cover my margins Recently recognizing that the airline industry is stabilizing and fundamentals looked good. I dived back into equities and purchased 40 shares of Continental Airlines (CAL) at 18.751 per share. Then, realizing that any growth in the first quarter will take place in the technical sector, I decided to purchase Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) at 59.801 per share to hedge against any losses.

It’s a puzzle and I’m looking for a three digit number out of each paragraph.

    Capital gains is profits. Roll means to move as in "Let’s roll" when you tell your friend that the two of you should leave from wherever you are. In other words you are moving your profits from one place to another.
