Two transactions took place today in the portfolio.
First, I purchased a 1/4 position in PCL at 46.41. The REIT closed above the 15% volume void buffer that I put in place starting with the latest iteration of the watchlist. With this buffer in place, I then realized that I was a bit too early in my FSS position, so I cut it loose for a small ($481) loss at 7.69 (from 8.01). Like I said earlier, I still really like the stock and have placed it on my watchlist for future reference.
With the exception of TTM (which moved much higher yesterday) every stock I own is just hanging out right below recent highs. As would be expected, this action is similar to what is happening on the indices as well. Though a quick spin through charts of SPY, DIA, and IWM shows that all of them made new 2013 highs.
Not to be outdone, the portfolio also made a new high for the year…so I’m pleased with that development.
For the day we finished a conservative +0.33% and are +1.28% for the month…still sitting at 49% cash.
Stay tuned for a watchlist update.
