Took Some Profits In CHK And AAPL

My two drivers of gains in my portfolio over the past couple months have been Chesapeake Energy (CHK) and Apple (AAPL).  Even though I think the long term fundamentals are intact with both companies, I decided to sell part of my positions in both stocks.

When it seems everybody is unison regarding higher prices for a stock, it makes me nervous.  Apple, even though still of its highs from late 2007, has had a fantastic run over the last few months climbing from below $120.  Natural gas and other commodities have been moving higher in a parabolic motion that has me extremely nervous.

Could these stocks continue to rise in the near term?  Sure, but I’m a true believer that it is never a bad thing to take a profit.

I will be watching both stocks intensely, waiting for future buying opportunities.  I still have positions in them, however, only about half of what I had before.

What are your thoughts on Chesapeake and Apple?

Agreed on Chesapeake, I don’t think oil and gas can sustain this kind of action without going through a short-term correction.

A lot of people are going to be buying APPL leading up to the June 6th rumored iPhone 2.0 announcement. Might be a good idea to buy in on a drop back into the $160’s

High Interest Savings


Hey everyone, one of the most important aspects of my savings is to make sure that every dollar I accumulate earns as much money as possible. I use ING Direct as my internet based high-interest savings account. They have great rates and is the easiest savings account I have ever used before. Do you know what you are earning on your savings? If not, check it out and then compare it with ING Direct. Most of you can definitely earn more interest in your money. Also, one of the best things about my ING Direct account is how easy it is to move money around to and from the account. Now is the time for you to implement ING Direct as a part of your savings strategy!
