Basically my trading activities are more and more concentrated in a few stocks and done with overlaying box positions to hedge.

-
CIB
Bancolombia Sa - $41.33
- +0.07%
- $41.05
Good high beta stock with good fundamentals and dividend. Possible buy out candidate, but lots of hot trading money in and out of it.

-
V
Visa Inc. - $79.67
- +0.10%
- $79.00
VISA is new IPO as of 3/19/2008. Already finding this a good stock for trading activities, though its too soon to place short sales on it to allow for any hedge trades.

-
CMG
Chipotle Mex Gril - $86.45
- +0.69%
- $84.95
Moderately high beta (1.4) stock. Fairly high momentum in the market with lots of hot money and strong growth. I find that with my broker, the Class A stock can't be shorted (CMG), but the Class B shares can be (CMG.B). Given that there is roughly a 5 dollar spread in the Class A and B shares, one can't get a complete box position into place if needed, but something close can be done if needed using Class A shares long and B shares short (or visa versa if you broker has shares available to short in Class A shares).

-
TAM
Tam S.a. Ads - $16.05
- +2.29%
- $15.49
Another high beta stock in the Brazilian airline industry. Basically has a two way mononpoly of Brazil market with GOL. Lots of hot money in and out of the stock with plenty of liquidity for box positions. Actually an easier stock to box than GOL, which many my broker doesn't have shares to borrow to short.
