Who knows but I did sell a 115 put for $2.50 20 OCT 17 expiration, equivalent of 3 dividend payments with downside protection to 112.50 (another 10% from here)

Just like a lot of other companies that have cut views and yet there stocks are at or near 52 week highs. Wall St works in mysterious ways lol. GWW pays a nice hefty dividend and the last time it warned they ran it back up.  It's the kind of stock you get few opportunities to buy low.

Bought a lot of stuff yesterday. I hate how I had to buy them a bit more expensive due to the french election results but I simply did not have the time to make those buy decisions last week. Ohh well, these little differences mean nothing in the end but it's always nice to time your buys well rather than not so well.

So, lot's of buys. Added to my positions in RTN, WTR, JNJ, LOW and to CIBC and NVU from Canada.

I like the RTN buy.. Hoping to add as well and may get that chance with LMT disappointing today! LOW has been on fire. How about MCD? Got to say never expected that stock to do so well.

It feels so horrible buying more RTN at these prices though, it feels like such a big psychological barrier to buy at these prices. RTN was actually the first foreign stock I owned, back then it was somewhere around $80. And it's been my largest foreign holding ever since, and also the largest overall holding for years already.

But even at these prices, I feel like it's a great buy. They have a very solid business and I believe they are heading in the right direction when it comes to the technologies they are focusing on.

I bought some IBM today. How can you not with a dividend of $1.50 now and a yield of 3.5. Tech could be the leader of this market and IBM hopefully will take part in that.
