Sold WMT,MT and bought more CHL. Initiated a position in WSTG.

I hope my turnover gets lower over the next year, but currently i am optimizing my holdings with all the new knowledge i got from here and elsewhere.

 

A big thanks to all  :-*.

Added to KMP (Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P.)

 

I was going to take another tranche of KMI @ $30 but it popped on me.

 

Added Kinder Morgan to my portfolio as well at $33. Finished selling Express Scripts, Chesapeake Preferreds CHKDG, and Auto Nation.

Sold Fiserv. I still like the company, is just ahead of itself. Bought Laurent Pierre and discovered Remy Cointreau when researching the former. I have a bit more work to do understanding the implications of Chinese regulation on the Remy's long term growth, but it looks interesting.

Hey Ross isn't it time for the Q1 CoBaF fund rebalance?

 

Packer's picks GNCMA and INLOT.AT probably need to be added. Also I think a lot of the names only getting 0-1 votes can be safely eliminated.

^^ Why Turkey ETF?

 

The Turkish market is down some 40+% due to all of the political turmoil and Fed tapering fears. It trades at about a P/E of 9 and a CAPE of 9-10 from what I could tell with the few articles I read. That was enough for me to buy into a diversified index. I don't have enough time to research the underlying country and companies to cherry pick here, but this kind of cheapness on a diversified index in a higher growth emerging market was attractive to me to begin a small position.

 

I've been moving my U.S. exposure to Europe and emerging markets over the last years and a half as European and Emerging markets are more favorably priced. This small amount of equity exposure to Turkey (about 1% of portfolio value) is in addition to about 2% exposure to Russia (through Gazprom), 6% exposure to Brazil (through BSBR), and my 20% in Europe (various investments). I also have some debt exposure to foreign economies through my fixed income CEF (DSL).
