Hey Guys,
The market had a really strong day yesterday and so far has held its gains overnight. It's a nice sign of strength for the market to shake off that one bad day from earlier this week and rebound so forcefully.
I bought some new positions today. In the main account, I bought some nice consumer staples with General Mills (GIS) and Church & Dwight (CHD, who makes Arm & Hammer). In the extra options account, I bought options for Pepsi.
I closed some stock positions today since they reached their time limits. In the main account, I closed ALNY and CL. In the low-priced account, I closed out LI and DQ. There were two wins and two losses in total, and the net effect was a small profit in each account.
I received dividends overnight on two stocks: CL and ZTS. Anyone who owned those stocks as of the close of trading yesterday and overnight will automatically receive the dividend. No further action is needed to get it. In most cases, it will be credited to your brokerage account in the coming weeks. That dividend on CL helped soften the blow on the partial loss I took on CL.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
