Interesting play on STWD, Nick.
What do you know ?
I'm holding half my position since selling 1/2 @ great profit in March.
Isnt the dividend in jeopardy ?
Could be Rabbit... could be...
I did have both cataracts done though this year. Not perfect though. 20/40.
Though a flawless 20/20 - in hindsight.
Buy order in for my beloved ABBV at 92.
I cant bear to part with it.
I call it crazy, but Nick doesnt that, so I'll go with schizophrenic.
I'm not amused either Nick. Just calling it like I'm seeing it. These 4 years have been tumultuous.
Closed my beloved ABBV at 96. Cost basis yet to be factored.
Closed Bx at 54 from 52 again.
Closed MSFT at 215 unexpectedly. Cost not available right now since I cost averaged it a few times.
It's a sad state of affairs. Craziness for another 4 years.
Closed TQQQ at 132.74 from a cost of 120.
While you're there, declare domicile and vote for Biden.
And Court, seems you have many blue cows in the Hampshire.
Time for at&t mobile SF. Coverage just as good and less expensive.
Black friday sales coming up to outright buy at&t go phones at wmt or BBY. Then just order a post paid sim card from at&t and viola you're in business. I upgrade every year using this method using android OS and inexpensive phones. Costing around $50 each. I even buy back- ups just in case I go swimming with the phone in my pocket. Also always buy phones with replaceable batteries. They make great mp3 players afterward.
To reduce equity exposure closed at cost IBM at 111.95.
An important lesson learned. It hit both my targets 112, and 107. The lesson is follow your own guidelines especially when Nick goes in at 106.
Not so happy coming down from a high of 380 the last few days.
You're saying that COST is a headache ?
Added to ABV at 84 I love ABBV !
But it could turn to hatred.
I now love ABBV, take back everything I ever said about it and hate all other stocks instead.
Added back COST at 358
Reduced COST at 359 from a cost of 344
Opened FSR at 9.70, closed at 10. And of course it'll continue upward.
What's really amazing is of the 4 FANG stocks and MSFT, I own 4 out of 5. All down. The only one I don't have is GOOG which most recently I reached for it at 1500 when it was nearing at 1522. Well, guess what, it went up then fell again and still didn't hit. Now where is it ? $1650. Another nice kick in the butt. I don't know why I bother.
Reopened FSR at 9.70 again...out 10.05
Another auto add of SLQT at 17.40
I have bigger fish to fry than FSR today- famous last words.
Woke up at 6 looked at futures rolled over and went back to sleep. No point in actively buying here. Saving reserves for cost averaging and strategic buying maybe later.
This is awful. But will turn around.
This a.m. on an auto- buy order added to MSFT at 202.
All bets are off.
Familiar with ALB not SQM as you may know. BYDDF/BYDDY is looking better and better though. Though I still have a thing against China. Once trump is out of the White House (hopefully) there'll be more stability to the markets and maybe China then. Got burnt with NIO and trumps trade war which decimated it. I was too early in to that also, at 9. That showed me didn't it? Look at it now ! 31.38 now. OY !
Added to 4x's the number of shares I had to RTX at 53.40. Cost basis now not quite more in line at 54.76
Closed AMZN in one account at 3320 from a cost basis of 3207
Trimmed AMZN in another account at 3300 from a cost basis of 3264.
Still holding bulk of AMZN at a new cost basis of 3165.
..and there goes the profit in the AMZN stock that I'm still holding. Oh well.
..and now it's up from my cost... We'll see, Rabbit, we'll see...
Hey Nick,
I like dividends just a much as the next guy ( except maybe you cause you love them sooo much ). I just like the thrill of the kill more I guess. If I'm not buying and selling at way way high profits, I'm just not happy. This week's been tough as you can imagine.
Added to ETSY earlier in the day. Not sure if I mentioned it :
Filled Buy ETSY Limit 132.90 -- -- 13:58:54 10/29/20
Hey it even went up thereafter... Yay.
Court what's your entry point for KCAC ?
I'm kinda glad in a way to see that the states most in denial about covid infection and the resulting infirmities and deaths are being hit hard by the virus due to their own refusal to wear masks. Dying for a cause or for a figurehead isn't the way to express patriotism or exercise your freedoms.
I guess if one gets hit on the head with a bat often enough they begin to realize that they should duck when the bat is swinging.
Maybe, just maybe they'll duck then run to the polls and vote with a new found understanding.

Analyzing AllianceBernstein Holding's Ex-Dividend Date
10:16 am ET October 29, 2020 (Benzinga) Print
On October 22, 2020, AllianceBernstein Holding (NYSE: AB) announced shareholders can expect to receive a dividend payable on November 12, 2020. The stock will then go ex-dividend 1 business day(s) before the record date. AllianceBernstein Holding has an ex-dividend date planned for October 30, 2020. The company's current dividend payout sits at $0.69. That equates to a dividend yield of 8.54% at current price levels.
What Are Ex-Dividend Dates?
Ex-dividend dates are when company shares stop trading with their current dividend payouts in preparation for those companies to announce new ones. Usually, a company's ex-dividend date falls one business day before its record date. Investors should keep this in mind when purchasing stocks because buying them on or after ex-dividend dates does not qualify them to receive the declared payment. Newly declared dividends go to shareholders who have owned that stock before the ex-dividend date. Typically, companies will announce and implement new dividend yields on a quarterly basis.
Understanding AllianceBernstein Holding's Dividend Performance
Over the past year, AllianceBernstein Holding has experienced an overall upward trend regarding its dividend payouts and a downward trend regarding its yields. Last year on November 1, 2019 the company's payout was $0.63, which has since grown by $0.06. AllianceBernstein Holding's dividend yield last year was 9.05%, which has since decreased by 0.51%.
Companies use dividend yields in different strategic ways. Some companies may opt to not give yields altogether to reinvest in themselves. Other companies may opt to increase or decrease their yield amounts to control how their shares circulate throughout the stock market.

It's nice to have a coordinated, measured strategic plan . Wish our government had one.
$38 huh? Well in that case I'll be a much wealthier man, will move to Naples and be your neighbor.
Would you be my, could you be my neighbor?
Bike riding's out for me, swimming though I'll do. Even if they havent opened the in door hot tub or sauna
Thanks Nick ! An atta boy would have been nice... but I'll take what I can get. After all, I own T and ABBV and I certainly took what I got there.
I also enjoy a bounty of cash from interest and dividends. However, call me silly. I like buying promising stock that goes up, especially when following someone else in because he has more resources than I. If you know what I mean.
That's a great article Nick, thanks. My price to add to T is 26 and 25.80. Very tempted to jump in when you added to T as I was tempted by your IBM add also.
T is becoming one of the largest losers in 3 accounts. Much like ABBV it smells quite badly.
The distinction is its dividend. At these levels, value trap and liquid as the stock is, I'd open this price instead of buying a questionable corporate bond.
It's not a strong endorsement, and if I were just opening this stock I'd go full in. At this point it may be a tax write off candidate as well, with plenty left over in 2 IRA accounts (unfortunately).
See Nick how well I tempered my response ?
I'm sure if I buy them they'll go down. Dont tempt me.
Some states do allow voters to change ballots as your " president" told anyone that would listen to do.
Being aware that covid infection rates are up again, large crowds are verboten, unless you attend a rally, then it's okay for some reason. And the fact that 250 000 Americans have died from the virus, hoax as it may be... Most states have had mail in balloting before all this. Since the USPS was hamstrung by a henchman it's been decided by many legitimate authorities to extend the time period to vote, since voter turnout and crowding will be high therefore viral transmission would be higher( if you believe that sort of thing ). Hope you get my reasoning.
Considered what you said and instead of throwing money down the toilet added to ABBV at 80.58. And of course its lower now.
If I short it here I'm sure it'll go back up a few $. But I really don't want to lose more that way on this stinker.
Only consolation will be selling this crap at a loss to offset gains. Thank God it's in a taxable account.
Dead money, with a decent dividend, which to me won't make a significant dent in asset values lost in the portfolio. It's 5.71% dividend is insignificant to the asset value percentage lost. This is deader than dead money. It's a zombie (value trap) with no value that's excruciating to watch go lower.
Added to IRM at 26.35
