Hogs Get Slaughtered

apple logoUnfortunately I think it is time to start scaling back on some of these winning positions. I have not researched any other stocks to put the money in, so I will leave it as cash for the time being. Better to act first, ask questions later. I started this morning by selling my Apple position. Trade record as follows:

Bought AAPL @ $154.24 on 4/10/08
Sold AAPL @ 186.08 on 5/6/08
Gained 20.64%

June 1 is Apple's big iPhone announcement. They will be launching their application platform and rumors are swirling about a new 3G iphone. I have always been a big fan of buy the rumor, sell the news and this is a perfect example. The sell could be a little premature but 20% is a serious gain. Bulls make money, bears make money, hogs get slaughtered.
