S&P 500+0.9%

  Sold Tiffany & Co. (TIF)

Net sell price in managed accounts* $40.85
Date(s) bought Aug 31 2005
Net buy price in managed accounts* $37.39
Holding period 9.9 weeks
Gain/loss in managed accounts +9.3% (after commissions)

* The net buy (sell) price is the total net cost (proceeds) after commissions for all managed accounts divided by the total number of shares.

The stock hit an 18-month high today, then retreated. This, on the heels of a 4-day winning streak, looks suspiciously like a short-term peak. Also, the company is scheduled to report earnings news in a few days.

I am inclined these days to avoid holding a stock through earnings news. Sure, there is big upside potential. But there is equally big downside risk. Earnings-news day, for any stock, tends to be more volatile than a typical day. We have plenty of risk presently built-in to our now heavily invested portfolio. We don't need to take on more.
