First Trade of 2009

Yesterday I got up extra early just to check the market. I noticed that most everything was down, my investments on the other hand were up and ended the day slightly up. I then saw that Baidu (BIDU) and Google (GOOG) were down and since i had some money laying around I decided to make a buy. The question then quickly became which one to buy, Google was too expensive so I decided to go with Baidu. I ended up placing a limit order for 15 shares at $127.53 and once that price was reached my order was triggered and presto. The total including the $7 dollars for the trade was $1,919.95 and just like that i made my first trade of 2009.
