About markets direction, easy money has been made. It will take lot of skill to make money going forward. February may not be too kind to us. Try to work with less exposure. Once we had 5% pullback then increase exposure. In case you are keeping track, we had a pullback of 1.49% today, factoring high to low of the day.
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Bert,
ReplyDeleteAlways good to book profit....you can always buyback RIMM....
I am staying put for now as Prem Watsa new RIMM board member increased his stake to 5.12%..higher than founders of RIMM.

Hi C,
ReplyDeleteRIMM is currently 34.27% of my portfolio.
Saleem
Yeah, I just might buy RIMM back, I just felt like I needed to book profit.
ReplyDeleteHi Bert,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new buy.

I was wondering what you think of Amazon? it will release earnings on Tuesday, do you think it will be a beat? I am going to wait and see, I think they just might release bad earnings, because of all the Kindle Fires they have sold, you know they loose money when they sell them and will get the money back through content sales. What is your take?
ReplyDeleteHi Bert,
ReplyDeleteThe problem with earnings are that IF they can BEAT expectations.
AMZN has managed street much better than most companies.
Q4 is AMZN best Q.....
SO..i am rolling the dice for a 777.
