The market was selling off today, which hit consumer stocks. Added to that was the fact that the Russell Index Rebalancing that occurred today tends to push down the stocks of companies that have been engaging in buybacks.

So what's a greedy trader to do? Since, I don't like shopping in stores, I went shopping in the market.
Here's what I bought:

Neubert's Top 15 Positions for August 2008

I haven't done this since March so be forewarned that there are a lot of changes. My portfolio has been ravaged by the meltdown of the financial sector, with special emphasis on Lehman (LEH). I also spent time buying the XLF on the way down and even at the bottom. My cost puts me about even on that trade. Much of my losses (but not all) in the financial sector have be offset by Big Oil and consumer non-durables companies.

1. General Electric (GE - $29.07): I think people will look back on the current price of GE and kick themselves for not recognizing the bargain of a lifetime in this company with so much diversification and exporting power in the face of a weak dollar. My average cost is about 10% above the current price at $32 - so clearly my average basis isn't at the super bargain price.

Selling Stocks Into New Highs

I'm usually not a fan of trying to pick market tops. I prefer to let the market top out at levels higher than I'd imagined and sell on the way down, hopefully still above those prices that are higher than I'd ever imagined. I still think U.S. stocks look like the bargain of the world right now, but I have been using this rally to trim positions that either don't fit or don't make sense in my value portfolio.

As we, at The Panelist, try to get our corporate house in order, I've been naughty and not blogging my positions each day. But following is a list that includes dates, sales prices and maybe even a line or two about my thought process.

Value Investor: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

As a value investor, this recent market pullback has been good, bad and ugly for me.

Good: I'm getting the opportunity to buy quality companies and cheap-long term prices. Recent buys include Proctor and Gamble (PG - $63.38), Pepsi (PEP - $64.55), Coca Cola (KO - $51.00), General Electric (GE - $27.10) and United Technologies (UTX - $60.38)

Bad: My bet on oil stocks isn't paying off the way I had hoped in this rising oil market.
