sold two names to raise cash

To raise some cash for a business venture I sold my entire stakes in the following stocks this week.

Saputo (SAP) - The Canadian Food producer had run up so far from my adjusted cost base that it seemed like an obvious choice to take a nice profit.  The stock is now trading at a P/E of over 18x, which strikes me as a little rich.

Scotts Miracle Gro (SMG) - This stock never really fit into my dividend growth model and the stock has run up very nicely in recent months.  The stock likely has more room to run however it seemed like an ideal time to take a profit and exit the name for the time being.

Posting on the moneygardener should pick up over the next little while as I realize I have been nowhere to be found lately.
