Tumble, tumble,tumble - sometimes it just don't pay to play, however I did manage to capture 7 dividends today. My oceanic account looked like this: -$23K, +$40K, +$83K, -$39K, -$97K for a weekly loss of-$36K. So on to next week we go.
It would appear to me that someone is trying to steal one of my wall flowers - Associated Estates RLTY (AEC) for an all cash buyout. This does not please me - let there be a white knight to the rescue. The market controls me not the other way around - so I'll be looking for a replacement.
I now have acquired 66 dividend increase announcements ytd - so progress continues. This could be a year of slow money growth.
It was a week that wasn't. My oceanic was just floating around: -$33K, +$39K, - , -$72K, +$63K for a small give back of -$3K. I did however make a +$28K for the month of April compared to a $0 gain in April 2014. May of 2014 handed me a +$100K gain - I'm almost there in one day. So May should be very profitable this year. In February 2015 I took in +$458K so there is plenty of potential if the market wishes to propitiate. I'm excited about the rest of this year - I may even blow out a few lily padders on the tracker by the end of the month.
Without sounding overly braggadocio I plan to use some of my spill money to pick up some more oil stocks come Monday - I'll be adding to already existing positions with perhaps a few new wall flowers to sweeten the portfolio. I'm constantly reminding myself as a cycle rider that this is the year when the Kress yearly cycles all kick into the upside - that could mean several $M for me. I'll also be adding to my IEV I shares Europe ETF. No fear here - just keep it moving along.
I'm punching out some spill money today and buying: BTU, CLF, BTE, IEV, SDRL, ANR, SBGL, TRN. I still have many more wall flowers on my list.
I fell from #27 to #37 on the tracker - today may be different. Looking to get past bjean. There is a slew of S funders further down the tracks that may never catch the caboose of this bull train. My plan is to be in the teens by the end of May.
Looking back 3 weeks ago the market was down -279 one day and took -$97K from my oceanic account (Birchtree 300). Perhaps today I'll get most of that back. We'll most likely close +300 with new SPX highs. Money is getting ready to slam into this market and push the Dow +1000 points higher - be in to win.
