We never spam!
Tricky market right now - very oversold ("worst June since the Great Depression") and prone for some bounce but not doing so (I find that bearish). Sort of seems like a market where a lot of people would be willing to jump in, if it showed any real strength... but everyone is looking around the room waiting for someone else to go first. It certainly is not going to be me.
A few quick transactions
Buy
in
Research in Motion (RIMM)
- I had this as a 0.1% stake going into the week and bought a small splotch yesterday to get it to 0.4% but was targetting $120 to add anymore, but today it gapped down yet again to the upper teens, so I added a little bigger stake in $117s. This looks destined for the 200 day moving average of $113. Still going slow and only up to
0.7% stake
.
Buy
in
Lennar (LEN)
- this homebuilder is now at 2007 lows, so I bought in low $12.00s. I am hoping this huge double bottom formation holds, and we can make a nice flip trade out like we did in
DR Horton
- so far this position has not worked for us as well as DHI. Shamefully this has moved into the top long position at
2.6% of fund
. Breaking below $12.00 would be a very bad thing in this name - so we'd cut back what we bought today if that happened.
Sell
in
EOG Resources (EOG)
- I added some natural gas exposure earlier this week and simply am hording a bit of cash here. The stock is building a very nice base from which it should make a nice move, but it keeps flailing over and below the 50 day moving average. ($130ish) So I am selling just below that number and reducing this to a
0.5% stake
. With the weakest chart in the basket of 4 I own, I decided to cut back for now but my sector exposure is about the same that I entered the week since I added elsewhere.
I
almost
added to my solar basket with 2 new purchases in former holdings -
LDK Solar (LDK)
and
Solarfun Power (SOLF)
this morning, former near $40 and latter near $18. However, in a continued market sell off these type of names will be sacrificed on the alter since they are dominated by retail investors. I'm willing to miss some upside for now on a dead cat market bounce to conserve cash, and try to keep losses contained. Judging from the action in the portfolio today I have a lot of stocks doing far more poorly than the indexes.
