Well I hope some of you read my piece on Westport Innovations (WPRT) last week!  In the last 5 days the stock has surged +10.79%.  Most of the gains came from today, but who’s counting. LOL! Money is money.  It’s definitely exciting to see a stock move rather quickly, but as many of you may know I always tend to sell into a big move like today.  Westport closed up +8.59% just a few minutes ago as I had the day off.  This means I was able to watch this stock blow up today.  Very exciting!

I was very busy today as I purchased more Apple (AAPL) as I believe the stock price is currently undervalued.  I also picked up some Westport in my other accounts.  Then as the day went on I ended up selling a portion of my Westport holdings in my Monster Portfolio.  The main reason is that I won’t be able to watch my accounts over the next few days due to limited internet access.  I would hate to come back on Sunday to see my portfolio lower because I failed to sell some of my stock.  

I just found out the recent surge in Westport may have something to do with a tax credit plan.  See for yourself.  http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Clean-Energy-Supports-bw-4144486892.html?x=0&l=1

It appears the tax credit for natural gas vehicles has been put back into play, which adds tremendous value to Westport.  Although, Westport moved rather dramatically I can almost bet that this trend will continue for another few days.  My recommendation is to watch the volume and if you see the stock waiver at all I would sell into strength. 

P.S.  For those of you who are looking for a great dividend yield I also picked up some Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) last week in my IRA.  Currently the dividend yield is at 6.20%.  This stock is great for people who like to sleep well at night. LOL!

Have a great night!
