I just read that news. Looks very promising. I own at much lower levels but I may add as well. IIPR just took a position in that. RE: What Did You Buy Today? - fenders53 - 06-30-2020 Generated some decent income today selling puts in BP RDS.b D DUK WY JNJ PFE MO OLN Sold covered calls in UPS and USB. I remain mostly defensive for now. I'll find something to buy with the option premium cash on the next dip. Some stocks near my buy range, but not quite there. RE: What Did You Buy Today? - stockguru - 06-30-2020 Added DUK, AFL, PFE and NEE New position in APD Sold out of AAPL and TWLO The rotation will go back into value right lol RE: What Did You Buy Today? - fenders53 - 06-30-2020 (06-30-2020, 01:20 PM)stockguru Wrote: Added DUK, AFL, PFE and NEE We don't know what week, but yes it very likely will. There is just too much going on for the market to not get scared soon enough. Then I'll start buying QQQ again. Sold a couple more T puts just now. The Guru told me to buy T when it's below 30 and it's good advice. If it drops much lower I'll add more long shares to make sure I am overweight so I don't miss out. My put sales almost always expire worthless down here but the quick income is nice. RE: What Did You Buy Today? - divmenow - 06-30-2020 I have been adding to my UTES today. Added ED and more DUK. Like Fenders I have been loading up on the defensive stocks. Florida and Texas scare me right now with a second wave of Covid already here. I feel another shut down coming. They continue to bid up Tech stocks are most are trading at historic valuations. My bet is that investor will go back to dividend in the next few weeks to months. T good buy, but I don't add unless its under $29 lol I cant blame you for selling AAPL Guru. That was a nice gain for you!

When it gets under 30 I sell puts from 27- 29 strike. I have one expiring most every week and open a new one. The option premium far exceeds the dividend so I try to forget it if T launches without me. I try to keep a few hundred shares long all the time unless it runs really high because I want some of that high div. When it gets around 35 I am selling calls and trimming. It usually works out well enough. I don't even think this is the second wave of Covid yet. It just took some time for it to migrate around the country. When the bars opened here I just knew what was coming because I expected that foolishness was nationwide. Throw in some protest crowds and vacations and here we are. I feel better being defensive. If it all goes to hell you can sell out for a 15% loss and buy some blue chip growth that was crushed double that or more. I hate taking a loss but sometimes it makes sense. The other choice yields .5% if you're lucky. That doesn't work for me. RE: What Did You Buy Today? - fenders53 - 06-30-2020 Somebody convince why I should buy ED. Divemenow is not the only one that owns it here. I hold about six UTEs at all times. They seem to offer more growth potential with a very reliable dividend. RE: What Did You Buy Today? - Dividendwayfarer - 06-30-2020 Sold most WFC today around 30% loss in anticipation of dividend cut. I knew I got in for the wrong reason (chasing yield). Another lesson learned for me. RE: What Did You Buy Today? - EricL - 06-30-2020 (06-30-2020, 03:58 PM)Dividendwayfarer Wrote: Sold most WFC today around 30% loss in anticipation of dividend cut.

ED isn't the highest yield, or the highest growth, or the best valuation, but it is a very good company. 41 years of dividend growth, solid A- credit rating, reasonable ~70% payout ratio, 4.25% yield. Not going to get you rich quick, but probably won't give you heartburn either. That's worth something in this market.

Someday all the UTEs will dip for more than a week. None of them are particularly undervalued for a long time now.(06-30-2020, 03:05 PM)fenders53 Wrote: Somebody convince why I should buy ED.

RE: What Did You Buy Today? - fenders53 - 07-01-2020 And selling a UPS covered call turns out to be a bad call a few hours later. I had no idea FEDEX was reporting last night. Good thing I stole the UPS shares in the low 90s because I am probably going to leave a few points on the table again. I'll look for a new hedge soon, but I won't be buying SPY puts. Maybe sell TLT put instead. |
