Bookkeeping: Taking some Jacobs Engineering (JEC) Off Ahead of Earnings

TweetThis
Very good strength from this infrastructure name today, so I am going to take a bit off the top - not much because the chart is shaping up so well, but with Jacobs Engineering (JEC) reporting ahead of the bell tomorrow and a quite large stake I am going to reduce some risk with a share sell here in the low $89s. This reduces the stake from 3.3% to 2.8% of the fund. Still quite a large position walking into a potential trap that every earnings report brings... but I continue to marvel that this stock is trading right about where it was 2-3 quarters ago.

Today has been an excellent day; always like days where you can outperform the market with only 60% of your portfolio long, and 1/3 safely tucked in cash. Many of our top holdings continue to run...I continue to believe we have a ton of extended charts prone for pullback but I'm sitting with large cash stake, and letting the remaining longs run however long this can go...
