Fidelity National Info Services Buy

This morning we purchased some Fidelity National Information Services(FIS) at $ 64.40.  This company that provides data services to the financial community has a good track record.  It's recent pullback looks like a good buying opportunity to us.

Starbuck's Split

Today Starbuck's(SBUX) split it's stock 2 for 1.  You will see our new cost basis in our current holding's page.

Qualcom Sell

This morning we sold our entire position in Qualcom(QCOM) at $ 67.92 a share.  This was a tough sell as we have been a long believer in this company.  But our first rule of trading is don't fall in love with a stock as they never love you back.  The stock has been slowly going down for several month's now and the news isn't getting better.  The company generates a lot of cash but the market is the market and you should never fight it.  Our profit is only 2%  for our efforts.

Macy's Sell

Turning out to be a busy day for us.  We just sold a small portion of our Macy's (M)  holdings for $67.95 a share.  We view this as just booking some profit's and waiting for a pull back to buy back in.  Our profit on the trade amounts to 39%.

Genesco Inc Sold

This morning we sold our holdings in Genesco Inc (GCO) for a small loss.  This stock has never performed since our purchase in January of this year.  Our loss on the stock amount's to 1%.

Apple buy

This morning we purchased Apple(AAPL) for $ 123.65.  Normally we don't trade this stock but we like it's position at this point.  It may trend a little lower while the watch new's continues to dominate but we think it will be back at the $ 130.00 range soon after.

Late Post on Honeywell

We are a little late posting this today.  This morning we sold a small portion of our Honeywell holding for $104.38 a share making us 15.6% on the trade.  This was strictly to re-balance the portfolio and take some profits.  HON is at resistance so we look for it to come back down a little, then we will buy it back.

Monsanto Trade

This morning we sold our position in Monsanto(MON) for $124.55.  This trade gave us a profit of 8.6%.  We still like the stock but feel it's now due for a pull back to the 50 day average or lower.  We will wait for that to happen and then buy it back.

Intel Corp Add

This morning we added to our Intel (INTC) holdings at $33.45 a share.  We hold Intel long term for it's nice dividend but will likely sell this group of share's after a $2.00 + move.

Added to Qualcomm Holdings

This morning we added to our holdings of Qualcomm(QCOM) at $66.13.  This purchase reduced our cost basis slightly.  We feel too much has been made of Samsung's decision to not use Qualcomm's chip in their new phone and the stock will recover.

Genesco Purchase

This morning we purchased Genesco(GCO) for $73.13.  Genesco Inc. is a retailer and wholesaler of footwear, apparel and accessories. We like it's chances of hitting $80.00 in the near future.

Proctor and Gamble Purchase

This morning we purchased some Proctor and Gamble(PG) for $90.66.  We sold our PG back in early November last year and now it's look's like a buy.

Dominos Sell

Another sell this morning of a small portion of our Dominos Pizza (DPZ) holdings.  We sold at a price of 102.37 giving us a nice profit of 194%.  We love DPZ but will wait for a pull back to purchase some more.

Starbuck's Sell

We sold a small portion of our holdings in Starbuck's (SBUX) this morning at $ 81.62 for a profit of 50.8%.  We will be buying this back but will wait for a pull back for that to happen.

Tenet Healthcare Sold

Today we sold our position in Tenet Healthcare (THC) for a small profit.  We didn't like how the stock was acting the past couple of month's.  Our profit amounts to 4%.

Tis the Season - Tax loss

Today we sold our position in Freeport McMoran Copper and Gold (FCX) at a loss.  Nobody likes to take losses in the stock market but to put a positive twist on it, this was a good loss.  All commodities have been falling this year but many expert's are saying we could be at a bottom.  That remains to be seen.  We will be looking at buying back FCX in January after the 30 day wash rule has expired because we believe copper will be heading higher in 2015.  Meanwhile the IRS get's a little less of our hard earned money.

Bought Tenet Healthcare

Today we purchased Tenet Healthcare for $48.20.  This company own's and operates about 77 hospital's  in the country.  We like them for a trade only.

Macy's Purchase

This morning we added to our holding's in Macy's (M) at $56.63.  This purchase brings our cost basis to $47.62 a share.  Macy's will report their quarterly earnings on November 12.

Buying Honeywell Again

Just made our second purchase of Honeywell (HON) at  $90.26.  We made our first purchase in August so now we have a full position.  In the long run this is a company you can't go wrong with.

Apache Sale

Today we sold our position in Apache Oil (APA).  The oil complex has been weak lately in spite of the issues in the middle east right now.  We sold APA for $ 93.90 giving us a nice profit.
