Bidu - Baidu.com : I bought BIDU and GOOG 8/20

Yesterday I made some purchases......BIDU at $304 and GOOG at $490.......I took profits in the past two day in XTO, CHK, CLR. They will most likely continue going up with Oil but I wanted to regroup and take profits. If they dip at all, I will be back in!

I bought BIDU because the company is growing very fast and it continues to blowout quarterly earnings. Baidu revealed they are taking even more market share from competitors in China. Baidu.com only trades at 45 times 2009 earnings which is cheap compared to how fast it is growing. If you missed the Google ( GOOG ) IPO, here is your chance!

I bought GOOG because this is the time of the year you want to be in the stock. You accumulate in the summer sell in December. Google under $500 has always been a steal!

Keep in mind, I have taken half positions on both....if we get dips, I will continue to add.

These are my two stocks for the rest of the year....the Garmin had to go the second they said Nuvifone was delayed. I will look at Garmin ( GRMN ) again in the future.
