  • Short Portfolio Update - Covering Some Orbitz For More National Bank Of Greece 0 comments
    Dec 15, 2011 2:10 PM | about stocks: OWW, NBG, NFLX, AMZN, GMCR, S, STP
    A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned an update to my theoretical short portfolio. Here was that update, in case you missed it.

    Last night, I decided to slightly change the weightings of two of my positions. The seven names stayed the same though.

    Here is what I did:
    • Covered 22,000 of Orbitz (OWW).
    • Shorted an additional 45,500 of National Bank of Greece (NBG).
    The remaining five holdings involving Netflix (NFLX), Amazon (AMZN), Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), Sprint (S), and Suntech Power (STP) did not change.

    I will probably change a holding or two next week, as I think I should cover a couple of my holdings that have done well.


    Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
