I've been too busy with work to spend a lot of time on my portfolio, and I was also a little surprised at my large cash position. I recall thinking I was pretty damn smart right about the time the Dow hit it's previous record and I was up so much. Without looking it up, I'd guess that was August 12. :>) So to protect my gains I started selling.

Today I put some of that cash to work and am now at 49.5% cash. Still looking for new ideas.

Bought CLL and BDN based on posts here and the charts. Added to ARO after updating my FV calculation with what I believe are conservative estimates:

Company: ARO
Date: 10/1/2007
Next year's expected earnings: $1.80
EPS growth rate used for estimate: 8%
Multiple Graham used for estimate: 8.5
Graham Fair Value: $31.05
Current Price: $19.61
$ difference: $11.44
Percent Growth to Fair Value: 58.32%

Started a position in DDS, Dillards. Much not to like about this pig (management, possible recession and lower consumer confidence, slow growth, better execution in other retailers, etc.) but I think that is all priced in. So I plugged my nose and took the leap.

Six year weekly chart gives me some confidence at this support line:
