Off Margin…..wooops AND adding a few more BIDU shares

At least I sold my few puts this morning.
The market is so strong that the CNBC can’t jinx it.
The market is so strong that Microsoft just hit 5 year highs. Yep – Microsoft. I declared this stock dead earlier in 2006 and said stay away. Terribly wrong. Obviously, the stock is not dead, despite the Company’s pure suckiness. Three explanations only – 1. Something good is happening at Microsoft that is not baked into the stock, 2. The economy is just flat out growing and it outweighs Microsoft’s absolute suckiness, or 3. A major headfake in the stock and it will return to it’s hole trapping the breakout traders.
I contend that search is just getting underway and money is flowing into Google, BIDU, Yahoo and Microsoft in that order.
I still will reposition into the strongest stocks and raise cash from my weakest stocks before earnings season gets into full swing.
Just a few weeks ago, Google and Apple haters (chart readers and nerd bloggers) were piling on as the stocks looked weak. As Tony Montana would say: “LOOOOOK AT ME NOW” or…”How’s about one of them first class tickets …to the resurrection”
By the way – BIDU, BIDU, BIDU….looks like an all-time high to me.
Disclosure – If you buy BIDU because of me, your next fortune cookie will have a fortune that reads…”You are a fucktard”
Long BIDU and Apple. Microsoft may be higher but they are still dead to me.
More Disclosure – Fucktard is the official word of THE FLY.
