Trade order adjustment – SPDR EURO STOXX 50 (FEZ) in ROTH IRA

Today’s mixed trading session ended SPDR EURO STOXX 50 (FEZ) price movement within my expectations. As I wrote in my previous post “How to invest with small money” I would invest in this ETF to take advantage of investing small money into a commission free ETF. Investing into FEZ is basically an experiment to me. Continue reading →

Trade adjustment – Pitney Bowes Inc. (PBI) put rollover

Trade adjustment - Pitney Bowes Inc. (PBI) put rollover

Today Pitney Bowes cut their dividend by 50%. That makes this stock no longer attractive for my dividend growth strategy and I am no longer interested in this stock. Originally I sold a put contract to get assigned to the stock. I no longer wish to be assigned and since I do not know how Continue reading →

Is AT&T a buy now?

Today AT&T dropped some 5% after trading down for almost 6% during the trading session. It then recovered slightly. My position and thinking about this stock is quite mixed. Is it a buy, or is it a sign of a trouble? The company reported in my opinion good results. It reported, in their words, strong Continue reading →

Stocks which sparked my attention for addition #2

The list of stocks which sparked my attention for addition narrowed from a week ago down to two stocks. All other stocks reversed and continued marching higher or just stayed flat.

Stocks which sparked my attention for addition today

Stocks which sparked my attention for addition today

I typically add new stocks into my portfolio, when the overall portfolio value reaches a certain threshold (see here). Before that happens I accumulate the holdings I now hold based on their price action. At today’s high levels I am mostly waiting gor prices to drop.

Trade adjustment – Lorillard, Inc. (LO) addition

Trade adjustment - Lorillard, Inc.  (LO) addition

Today I added 25 shares of Lorillard to my portfolio. The trade trigger was triggered and the order was executed. It seems that the selling hysteria of this stock over a potential menthol ban calmed down. Of course, it still may happen, but it may not as this issue was on the table a year Continue reading →

Is Lorillard offerring another buy opportunity?

Is Lorillard offerring another buy opportunity?

I think Lorillard is offering another buy opportunity. On Friday session the stock dropped by 4% and hit 200 day MA. That is the kind of a retreat I usually look in stocks of my interest to add more shares. I am not buying yet, since the stock may continue sliding down, but I entered Continue reading →

Almost all indicators were in heavy overbought territory and a break was imminent. The question was, when. Was Monday the beginning of a correction? If so, I would Continue reading →
