Just a few short thoughts today ...

I picked up the Pepsi-Cola for the dividend investing 'sister' account for $63.31. It was a little higher than the $63.28 that I mentioned in yesterday's issue, but that's ok. It's just our introductory purchase. I also dumped out of the USO 39 Put at 2.12 or $212.00. Including commissions, that's a loss of $40.92. This Sunday's issue will include the exact numbers, and how they reflect themselves into the AMB benchmarking portfolio. As far as trades, I'm not really looking at trading actively at this point. As a matter of fact, I'm going to start from the top with my methodology, since it appears that a few markets are going contra-seasonal.

Until next time, stay safe trade well, and remember that loving other people doesn't cost a dime.
