Bad choices: April 3, 2008

Yesterday, I sold off my shares of Visa. It was a bad choice, because today, Visa shot up from the opening, and ended trading about $4/share higher than where I sold it yesterday. I could kick myself, actually, I'm sure my wife will do that for me. The trade I should have made was on Suntech Power. I think solar has gone about as far as it can for the moment, and while there might be a bit more upside, I think it'll drop soon, especially if oil goes.

On the other hand, I guessed right about RIM earnings and got lucky on the guidance. It is up nicely, I hope this means a few upgrades here and there, and with luck, the stock price can pop a lot more than where it ended trading today. Beyond this, there are a couple of risky biotechs and even a REIT with decent yield that may be worth buying. We'll see how it goes.
