To Hell with this Stock

I sold EL for a 1.3% profit. If I was a banker in London during the early 1800’s, I’d be quite pleased with a 1.3% return in 1 month’s time. I might even treat myself to a shepherds pie. However, being that I am a man stuck in a hole, 1.3% in entirely ridiculous, if I were to celebrate it and all.

I swapped it out for MET, based off of the PL deal. Both PRU and PL are trading at a 20% discount to where the PL deal was done. But I mainly like it for its dividend. It is a reduction of risk on my behalf.

        GOGO is a commodity business, it will sell down again, don’t kick yourself.
