Bookkeeping: Cutting Baidu.com (BIDU) on Gap Up

24 July 2008, 6:59 am
by
Fund my Mutual Fund

After so much hemorrhaging the past week and a half I am going to take profits when offered and with Baidu.com (BIDU) up nearly 17% I am going to cut most of the position and wait for a pullback. If no pullback, that is fine - I am harvesting cash as I wait out this worst of breed rally. If you haven't noticed this is not a buy and hold market... that said, stocks that have gapped up like this have a tendency to run, but in terms of portfolio management and desire to raise cash until I can figure out this "new paradigm" of selling stocks that beat earnings and buying stocks that miss, I am culling winners. Any market led by junk is not a market I trust.

Selling in the $337s and bringing Baidu.com down from 0.7% stake to 0.1% stake. If we are fortunate to get that gap filled around $300, which is 11% down from here, we'll get this stake back.

[Baidu.com, Amazon.com - Party Like It's 1999?]

Long Baidu.com in fund; no personal position


Mission: Raise $7M from readers to launch a real mutual fund; this is my journey. By providing a transparent platform for a \\\'virtual\\\' growth mutual fund, I\\\'ll create a mechanism by which readers can view my thought process & results in creating a 3 year return worthy of investment. I\\\'ll invest in 50-60 positions with secular growth trends such as: global infrastructure, agriculture, energy, digital entertainment, etc. Economic and social commentary thrown in along the way. Comments welcome!
