Utilities are getting killed today. Finally have an entry position in my beloved XEL. Sold my 25 year old position in a taxable account so I can pay my stupid taxes on a significant CAP gain while my income is still low a few more years.
Not really a purchase but I did a buy to close a MMM put position. Had a chance to make a decent profit. I am not as excited about being forced into a MMM position as I was a week ago. I have a feeling China is going to fight long enough to screw up a quarter of earnings for a lot of companies. Our Prez ain't backing down much even if it hurts in the short-term IMO. Some stock deals may be forthcoming.
MJ stocks are tempting currently but I've had my nose bloodied before. I'll tread lightly before I pull the trigger.
