Google Inc (GOOG), Baidu.com, Inc. (ADR) (BIDU): Why “The World’s Greatest Retirement Portfolio” Continues to Outperform the Market

Page 2 of 2

Two other big developments
Two other developments of note occurred for the portfolio in May. First, Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRGwon a major lawsuit last week. The defendant had claimed that the company was liable for not training a surgeon properly when complications arose from a da Vinci procedure. The jury found that the fault lied with the surgeon, who had been repeatedly warned not to operate on obese patients until he became more familiar with da Vinci.

The second development was my announcement that The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) would be leaving the portfolio soon — not because it represents a poor investment, but because I have trouble holding the company,  knowing that I’ll be profiting from unhealthy products that I don’t use.

At some point in June, I will be announcing the company that will be taking Coca-Cola’s place.

What are the best buys?
Every month, I pick out three stocks that are the best buys from this group of 10. Keep your eyes open next week, when I’ll tell you what those three stocks are.
