Today I am going to value the company I have been researching to see if it warrants further research and a full article, I will update you about what I figure out.
I also sold out of my entire position in Vodafone (VOD). My valuations and brief analysis can be found in this post from last month.
I bought Vodafone before doing valuations of any kind and only minor research and again I paid the price. I bought at too high of a price in my estimate and it would have been very difficult to make money due to my high cost basis. In the link above I also give some other reasons why I was thinking about selling, which are ultimately why I decided to sell my entire portion of the company. I sold my stake in Vodafone up about 2% after commissions.

That brings the cash position in my portfolio up to 17% and for now I am going to hold onto it and will let you know when I redeploy some of the cash I have built up.
