Bookkeeping: Closing Smallish Position in Google (GOOG)

I am selling the last of my Google (GOOG) as the stock approached $700. Heckavu job Googlie. This is only $5000; I never had a huge position in this name, but it was bought in the $500s-$520s and this is the last batch to go. I am selling for much the same reasons as the sale of Garmin (GRMN) last week - it's been a nice run but going to look for other opportunities. If Google tacks on another $100 from here to get to $800, it is still only a 14% return from here. So I think there will be easier places to find that return.

I'll consider re-entering on a drop of perhaps 10%, down to $640s.

I am just continuing my stance of raising cash and slowly buying up short ETF exposure (as 'insurance' against long positions) ahead of this "binary" event that is the Fed (a random event that could go either way, and in fact has almost nothing to do with stocks I own, but could still push them in a meaningful manner one way or the other) I believe I have a whopping total of 1 long buy this week and that was the FMC Technologies (FTI) this morning - otherwise it's been all selling or buying short ETF exposure.

I took a little off my smallish Baidu.com (BIDU) as well. Not sure how to value this stock anymore (I suppose on 2014 earnings), so I will use more of a technical analysis approach on the stock as fundamentals were long thrown out the door.

Can 2:15 PM Wednesday get here soon enough so we can continue the normal market?

Long Baidu.com in fund; no personal position
