Hey Guys,
The market is up today. The S&P 500 is back to the 5,500 price level, which is just above the range it's been in all week.
I manually closed a couple stock positions today that reached their time limits. They ended with a split, one win and one loss, but the net effect was a profit.
SYK was one of the ones that I closed, and I earned a dividend of 80 cents per share on that one. Anyone who owned the stock overnight last night qualified for the dividend, and most brokerages will automatically credit it to your account within the next several weeks.
I had a couple option trades reach their time limits yesterday, and both ended up in the losing column. My current open positions are all in the green for the options account right now, though, so let's see if those can stay the course and give me some profits.
I took on a few new positions today. I bought stocks for ROST and INCY in the main account. And I bought options for ROST in the options account.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
