Shortly after Wall Street’s opening bell Tuesday, we’ll be making a handful of sales to help fund our upcoming distribution to charity. As a reminder, every year Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust distributes all dividend income and realized capital gains to qualified publicly supported charitable organizations. Our total contribution this year is $326,951, and this brings our total donation since the Club’s inception to approximately $4.1 million. For more information about why the Trust gives all profits to charity, please review our About page. To fund this year’s distribution, we’re trimming 23 positions, roughly evenly, to raise enough to maintain a about 10% cash position once the distribution is made. The stocks we are excluding from sales are ones that we are restricted in, have purchased over the past 30 days or already represent less than 1% of the portfolio. Please note that these trades are not based on our outlook, and our ratings and price targets are unchanged. We would not be making these sales if we did not need to raise capital to make donations. We cannot stress this point enough. Our sales this morning will temporarily raise our cash balance, but this will normalize after we make our donation after Tuesday’s close. We will let the Club know when this happens.
