Shortly after the opening bell, we will sell 25 shares of Broadcom at roughly $272.78. Following the trade, Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust will own 575 shares, decreasing its weighting to about 4.4% from 4.57%. Consistent with what we said last Tuesday, we are peeling off some shares of Broadcom following its strong push to new all-time highs. After another 2% move on Monday, shares are up nearly 19% year to date and almost 90% from its lowest close in April. Over the past 12 months, the stock has gained about 68%, trouncing the S & P 500’s 13% return. This stretch of strong outperformance has kept this position as one of the largest in the portfolio. We remain bullish on the semiconductor and software company’s long-term artificial intelligence potential, particularly in its custom AI accelerator and networking segments. However, as we noted last Tuesday, we’re trimming our position slightly to avoid getting too greedy. From this sale, we will realize a huge gain of about 220% on stock purchased in August 2023. Lastly, this trim satisfies our discipline around raising a little bit of extra cash when the market is overbought, according to the S & P Oscillator, our trusted momentum indicator. Following Monday’s rally, the Oscillator increased to 4.35% — anything above 4% indicates the market is overbought and could be due for a pullback or a pause to consolidate recent gains. And the market gains have been plentiful lately, with the S & P 500 rallying about 10.6% in the second quarter. (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long AVGO. See here for a full list of the stocks.)
