BHP is looking very strong financially and is well placed to ride out the recession. They have no debt, and a great history of profitability (5-yr average RoA 19%, avg net margin 25%). This year's profit won't be as good as last year's record, of course, but BHP is in much better shape than its competition to not only survive the recession, but to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that might arise while the competition is struggling to service their debts. When the economy recovers, BHP will emerge significantly stronger relative to its competitors.

Buying on the dip (and adding most of the quality producers). I don't think the demand is going anywhere but up long term.

Bookkeeping: Selling Some Long Equity Exposure
|
|
|
I am not sure when the euphoria ends, but I am going to take some profits in individual names - this seems like a "blow off" top but so have all the other moves that were questioned.
First is India's HDFC Bank (HDB) - we only have about a 1% allocation, but I am going to sell 90% of the position as it is up 23% in just over a week.
Sold half our BHP Billiton (BHP) - position was built in $68s and $65 over the past 10 days, now locking in.
Wyndham Worldwide (WYN) is actually breaking out beautifully so a technical trader's dream here, but I am going to let go of 33%.
I might be exiting those ...

Bookkeeping: Bought BHP Billiton (BHP)

As I am reviewing trading history for the week, I missed a limit buy order that went off late Friday. On Monday, we had sold just about all our BHP Billiton (BHP) [Oct 26, 2009: Bookkeeping - Sold Most of BHP Billiton (BHP) - Looking to Rebuy Soon] in the mid $72s anticipating some dollar strength to knock these commodity stocks down.
<><>However, since we are SO overdue for at least a few day rally in the pig (with lipstick on) that is the US dollar I'll take almost all the rest off here, and see if we can get our cost basis lowered.
