We're making six trades Monday morning, as the recent market volatility driven by fears of a U.S. recession intensifies. Shortly after the opening bell, we are exiting our position in Ford , selling all of our 5,550 shares at roughly $9.48. We are also exiting our position in Wynn Resorts by selling our 600 shares at roughly $73.25. In addition, we are buying 190 shares of DuPont at roughly $77.10, increasing its weighting in the portfolio to 3.25% from 2.80%.
Last Friday, we said that we had our eyes on the pullbacks in DuPont, Dover, and Wells Fargo. We pegged Dupont and Dover as buys because both companies just reported strong quarters and gave bullish full-year outlooks. Wells Fargo didn't report a great quarter, but the stock has been hit hard and is barely trading above its book value per share of $48. Wells Fargo also pays a solid dividend and can repurchase stock — two factors that we gravitate to during volatile markets.
