SPY FDX INTC stocks
Sold the last of my tiny SPY position at $439.44. Bought this lot on 10/13/2022 at $349.43. Very close to the recent high (at least for a little while)
Sold out of my tiny INTC position in one account at $36.01. The Q2 dividend was cut from $0.365 to $0.125 so the yield is no longer attractive. Bought this 10 times from Jan 2022 at $47.87 until Oct 2022 at $25.73. Only made 1.1% overall without the dividends
Sold half of my tiny remaining position in FDX at $236.00. Bought on 09/16/2022 at $160.00
