Added a tiny bit of VFC at $16.00. Div = 6.79%
Added a tiny bit of AES at $13.00. Div = 4.63%

#FallingKnife #SP500

FUN FACT:

Over the past 6 trading days, the S&P 500 is down 1% and the utilities sector is down 11%.

The last time that utilities underperformed by 10%+ while the S&P 500 was negative over a 6-day span?

Never over the past 25 years. Today would be the 1st time.

Bought a tiny bit of MMM at $89.00. Div = 6.65%

SOX is trading right on the huge positive trend line that has been in place since October lows. Note we actually closed below the 100 day moving average. This “hot” space is practically at make or break levels. Watch this closely. Note the 200 day way lower… {from ZeroHedge}

I was betting against this week’s move and most positions worked. A few needed to be rolled out.
Not fantastic gains, but I own tiny positions in most of the stocks so I am treating these gains like extra dividend income.
