Good move. As it were, I closed half my position as well. Will probably be moving the rest to Google if their report is encouraging.

My blog is dedicated to swing trading but I also maintain a core portfolio of longer term positions and that’s where GOOG and YHOO preside. In the interest of full disclosure, I sold YHOO this morning. I had a 20% gain in it and I didn’t want to risk giving back the gain based on one earnings report. That said the stock is probably just as likely to go up as down after the announcement…

There’s always a bit of apprehension when holding a stock through earnings, but my positions in both YHOO and GOOG have been long term investments. I picked up YHOO mid December of last year, and so I’ve got a bit of a cushion. I still think Yahoo and Google both have a great deal of potential upside, so unless the report is earthshatteringly bad, I’ll probably ride it out. I see from your site that you’re a swing trader though; back when I used to trade in the short term I would always sell at least half my position before earnings to lock in gains.

I just discovered your site and I like it. I’ll definitely be back.

I am long GOOG and YHOO myself and I am feeling quite wary of holding YHOO through earnings this time around. With the stock price up over 20% in 2007 I have to wonder if all the good news isn’t already baked in. Not to mention that the stock has topped out in the low 30s about a half dozen times in the past year or so. Just wondering if you’re nervous to hold it through earnings?
