Stocks Of The Month: AAPL, DDD, FB, UA

On my continuing quest to own less stocks, two more have been sold (these will get tougher to get rid of as we go on):
  • Lululemon (LULU) has been bought and sold for the second (and final) time. It was one of the lesser holdings in my portfolio, and has no dividend and "only" 14% growth...which is not awful, but I think I can do better elsewhere.
  • Southern Copper (SCCO) has been in my portfolio since 2005! However, it has been dead money since April 2007, and during that time the dividend has shrunk from $1.50/share to $0.03/share.
The proceeds from these sales went towards four stocks I already own: Apple (AAPL), 3D Systems (DDD), Facebook (FB), and Under Armour (UA).


Here's my current portfolio (growth, dividend, and speculative). As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them.
