Positions Closed Today

My returns for trades closing today averaged 0.60%, or 219% annualized. I should have traded Radio Shack in my flat-fee commission account. Had I done so, the trade would have earned 0.58%, or 210% annualized. Commissions totalled $50.12 for the trade. Usually, the variable-fee broker is much cheaper. But, thousands of shares add up. The adventure cost me twelve cents. I imagined that I would be in and out of RSH several times today, but I started in the afternoon, and one-penny change took an hour and a half. The buy occurred in 10 lots, whereas the sale happened in one.

After much lateral movement, UVXY peaked at the end of the day. Witnessing that hesitation, I reduced my limit sell order to I had reduced to $27.85. I missed the tail end of the peak, $28.20.

I was tempted to sell Hennesy (GASFX) and Simon Property Group (SPG) today, as the capital appreciation has outpaced the S&P 500 over the short haul. Decided to wait for dividends on SPG. The fee for selling GASFX in fewer than 180 days was steep, and I noticed it has been outpacing the S&P 500 all year, so I decided to wait.

Overnight Again

DivFades that Sold Today

KO sold via a fire-and-forget limit order. I liked ARCC so much that I bought blocks of it in 2 accounts, 6 days ago. Late in the day, I noticed that ARCC had gapped-up earlier, and I did the math and adjusted my targets to take profits.

Fades in One Day or Less

Rite Aid took a day to do the dead-cat-bounce. TNA sold in under 15 minutes. Wish I had held onto it longer, as it peaked at $78.56, about 4% up.
