Weekly Roundup - February 25, 2017
![]() |
Happy Weekend! Check out what's been going on in my world and some of the best articles from around the blogosphere. |
During this 11 day run the DJIA has increased by over 750 pts for total appreciation of 3.8% from the day before the streak started. Friday wasn't the typical kind of day with the DJIA in the red until last 17 seconds before it finally turned green.
What exactly does this mean? I still have no idea, but I would bet that this streak can't last much longer. The markets do go down, right? The important thing to remember is that it always comes down to valuation so stick to your guns and only invest if the company meets your criteria.
Other than that it was a fairly boring week with no new purchases for any of my portfolios although the option activity did remain high with a total of 13 different option moves. I was a bit more exposed than I'd have liked in my Rollover IRA so I took a few contracts off the table this past week for solid profits. Despite all of the new positions I was able to reduce my exposure by about 50% this week to free up more capital.
I'm hoping to get a good chunk of writing done over the weekend because there's some more companies that I want to analyze and get good price targets on in case the markets miraculously pull back.
