    Bought REM, the REIT ETF, at $12.35. Expecting it to trade ex-dividend in 2 days for a 2.5-3% gain, then I'll possibly sell.

    Note to self: Buy REM on ex-D day, not before. -2.5% today. ouch. That loss washes out the gains I would have received from the dividend. I will hold this position a little while longer for the bounce back to make a small profit and then probably get out. I don't think holding REITs longterm is a good move right now with higher interest rates coming next year.

    Thinking about jumping in today 50C / 50S. I want a position in C because it has been so strong. I want a position in S because it has unperformed C and has the potential to correct that to the upside.

    I took the plunge. The strength today is encouraging but preventing me from getting a good entry price. Damn IFT rules.

    Was it a 2.5% dividend? Every stock does that. Whatever $$ value the dividend is, the stock will open at the previous close less that dividend amount.

    Long WTI Crude as of today. I love low gas prices, but WTI doesn't stay this cheap for long.

    Lol, yes that is definitely what happened. Thank you for clarifying that .

    I'm willing to stay in oil throughout the winter to hit my price target. I got in at ~84.75 a week ago. It will get back up to 100 like it always does. Whether it takes a week or 3 months for that to happen, I'll be in until it does.

    the SPY and w4500 daily charts look like they are starting to roll over. If I don't see strength to the upside before the deadline I may jump out for a few days to skip a dip. I want to be in before November so I would look to buy in again sometime next week.

    Finally a sign on the SPY. A small nudge to the upside right before the deadline keeps me in over the weekend.

    Not a single red candle on the w4500 today all the way down to the 15min. level. Impressive! Now that I've written this, we'll probably start seeing them.

    Well I'm finally positive from my entry on 24SEP, over a month later. I'm glad I stayed in through the correction / consolidation. The w4500 is short-term (RSI 10) overbought and SPY is as well to a lesser extent. I'll be surprised if we don't pull back a little tomorrow. That's fine. I'd like to make more than a few pennies before getting out again so I'm stickin' to it for now.

    Today looks like a good day to get out on top. But if I do that I'll be out going into November, and id rather be in. So I'm probably gonna stay in and hope we go higher!

    Japan is buying 50% stocks for the BOJ - best to ride this wooley beast until the rocket runs out of stimulus.
