Bookkeeping: Selling All Gafisa (GFA) Except a Tad

TweetThis
If only this had been a 10% position instead of under 1%. Apparently homes are being snapped up worldwide not just in the U.S.

Selling all but 50 shares of Gafisa (GFA) - if there is ever another pullback in the stock market, I will one day purchase it back; otherwise I'll consider buying it back at S&P 1500 or by Mother's Day, whichever comes first. I assume S&P 1500 will come first.

Long Gafisa in fund; no personal position

I no that you have WMT on your watchlist as general you might want to buy.. there is some nice pullback in the name.. are you getting excited here yet??

Walmart should only be bought going into or during the front end of the recession

We are now out of the recession or so says the stock market, hence WMT should go back to being a bad stock

Sorry, that was facetious

The chart on WMT is facetious and you'd really like to see it north of $50.50 or so to feel any confidence
Speaking of which a bad chart of WMT could mean one of two things (a) the consumer is in SUCH bad shape even WMT is suffering or (b) the consumer is recovering and starting to avoid WMT to go back to their old haunts

COmpletely different answers depending on which of the above. Now if you believe that stock prices "tell all" you'd go with (a) because all other consumer stocks are rocketing. We will never know until we look back in 4-5 months.

Until proven otherwise tax returns and house ATM v 8.0 should be the only spending spurts for foreseeable future. But as always, I could be wrong.
