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!

It was a very productive week for the stock market last week.  My portfolio performed amazingly!  With the strong movement in Apple (AAPL) and Weatherford (WFT) I was able to gain +14.19% vs. last week.  Yes that is a big run, but I believe my portfolio still has great upward potential.  Apple reports tomorrow and I expect nothing less than another strong quarter.  I’m interested to see if they have anything up and coming in the pipeline.  The iPhone 4S was a big hit as they reported selling more than 4 million phones in 3 days.  That is ridiculous!  That is all the information I need to confirm that this stock should be a solid investment for many quarters to come.

As for Weatherford I base my assumptions on the other oil service companies and their financial results.  Halliburton (HAL) reported strong earnings topping analyst estimates earnings with a 2 cent beat (0.94 vs. 0.92)   Though the stock sold off today I believe the energy bull market is here to stay.  The company to pay attention to is Schlumberger (SLB) as they are largest and most influential oil Service Company.  They set the trend.  SLB reports on Friday.   I believe HAL and SLB will help Weatherford have a short term pop to the upside over the next few days leading into earnings.  If this happens I will be selling a portion of my holdings into strength.  If I’m wrong I expect WFT to trade basically flat line/slightly lower and then pop on the day of earnings. WFT reports on Tuesday 10/25 so there are 6 more trading days to go!  I will be selling one way or another as my portfolio is highly leveraged with WFT.  I have to protect my portfolio in the short term.

P.S.  another great indicator that energy is here to stay is the recent announcement of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) to acquire EL Paso Corp (EP) for $38 Billion to create the largest natural gas pipeline system in North America.  KMP popped +5.08%  Energy=$$$

It was a pretty quiet week for stocks last week.  Smooth sailing until Friday.  Today the market started deep into the red, but made its way to close well above the lows.  Weatherford International (WFT) took a big hit today earlier in the morning and closed down on the day.  One thing that caught my eye was WFT opened near the low of the day at $15.21 a share and paired its losses to close near the high of the day at $15.94.  That is a 4.79% move to the upside throughout the day.  Pay close attention tomorrow to the oil service companies. (Hint SLB, HAL, BHI, and WFT)  I’ve seen this chart many times and the buying action on the dip today increases the likelihood that increased buying is yet to come.  If I was a gambling man I would put my money on a positive day for the oil service companies tomorrow. 

Until next time “when in doubt buy more”


Buy List
Westport Innovations (WPRT) Stock is to cheap vs. the potential.  Chart shows increased buying action near the end of the day.  Remember energy isn't a want, but a need!
