It’s a long term hold for me unless it shoots up significantly, which I don’t see happening until oil pricing rises or if they get good news on the Dakota Access Pipeline.  They’ve cut capital and opex and stated they plan to keep their dividend whole.  I’ll likely leave it be and maybe add some on big dips.

They said they are turning Dakota in oil pipeline possibly last I read.

The Ex dividend date is 7/31. 

They said the 3rd.  Not sure what is correct.

Yeah. Ex-div date is tomorrow. Date of record is Monday. 
not sure the difference. 
I think you have to hold the shares at the end of the trading day on the ex-div date

correct me if I’m wrong. Would seem silly to sell tomorrow. Same with my stock in C. 

 
Beyond the dividend it seems like a decent hold to me.  They paid off a lot of debt and revenue was up even though earnings were down.  Plus didn't Buffett buy something similar from Dominion recently?

Doesn’t Robinhood already sell factional shares (like other places sell fractional shares)?
Click to expand...
Yes fractional shares are a big reason why stocks rarely do these splits anymore.  Still it clears a mental hurdle as people prefer to buy whole shares.

As for Robinhood it offers fractional shares but is still rolling the feature out and only some accounts have access to it.  I think they have a waitlist.

They’ve got an existing pipeline they are considering repurposing to oil service if Dakota Access gets held up (which isn’t their line).  Dakota access not being built potentially limits their gas takeaway pipeline potential since the gas there is associated gas...not enough oil takeaway= limits oil and gas production.  Last I read they thought there might be enough truck and rail to get through 2020 and some of 2021 without a new pipe.

Yeah but I think buffet bought more distribution/transport and I believe OKE is more heavily on gathering.  I’m certainly not an expert on either company though.

Up 40 bucks so far. Entered an order to sell half of them if they double. Maybe later this afternoon? Talk about a crazy run-up.

I ended the day up $400 selling these $15 KODK puts. 

Also up $1200 yesterday selling $5 KNDI puts. Likely wont be so much after we open today though as the stock price is dropping a bit in pre-market.

I plan to let these both expire Aug 21 though and take the full premium ($4050) ... assuming they stay above $15 and $5 strike respectively.

Government contract w/funding for KODK ... seem like a pretty safe play at $15.

KNDI to export their cheap little electric cars to the US. $5 seems reasonable. 

... and I'm still about .45 away from breaking even on NERV after having a bazillion shares put to me. 

 
Meant to comment yesterday, but life got in the way, but I'm astounded by the resiliency of the market right now.  GDP was down over 32%.   That's a simply incredible number.  There were another 1.4 million unemployed.  Something like 30 million people may be collecting unemployment benefits right now (And the real number of unemployed/underemployed may well be 20%).  The extra $600 benefit is set to end with no quick resolution in sight (although I do believe something will be hammered out sooner rather than later).

And the Dow dips less than 1%, and the NASDAQ goes up.  That just blows my mind.

Earnings after hours were the expected blowouts.  And with Apple announcing the 4/1 split, this will just drive the price higher as this is generally perceived as positive news.  

Imagine what will happen if a covid vaccine is announced with efficacy going into production by year end.  

 
I wonder if we get a pullback if they don't reach an agreement on the stimulus.  It seems like they are very far apart on this, and it's probably already factored into the market.  The $600 a week unemployment ends today, so the clock is ticking.

Liquidity can prop things up until insolvencies catch up.

Forgive me Mr Powell for I have sinned, if you let me break even I will never buy puts on meme stocks again.

There is nfw an agreement doesn't get done.  It would be political suicide to be the party that denies benefits to some 30 million families.

Thanks for those responses about the AAPL split.  Kind of a kick in the lower region that we sold 2/3 of it in June. 🙁
Click to expand...
$TLSA did a 2-1 split this morning.  It ran up about 25% yesterday prior to the split, and after the split this morning is currently into a circuit halt up.

I doubt AAPL will be anything like that but worth noting.  AAPL may pull back a little too I'm going to buy more on dips if it does.

I feel your pain on selling.  I sold 100 shares, the majority of my position, at $282.

ETA: Another circuit halt up for TLSA.  Now about a buck away from the post-split share price being the same as the pre-split share price was at open yesterday.  Crazy.

TLSA submitted a patent for a COVID treatment, which might explain it as much or more than the split.

 
I bought some AAPL before earnings yesterday and bought a lot more at the opening bell today. F it. I’m going to be holding this for decades, so no reason to worry about small, potential pullbacks.

 
Steeler said:
I want to add AAPL as well but not sure what price I want to buy since it's trading so far over the moving averages today.  At what price are you looking to buy more?

Yeah, I was wondering about this too. Is it better to buy now before the split or wait until after the split.

I'm a noob but I'm definitely buying before the split.  The SP will almost certainly rise after the split because some will think is much more affordable at ~$100 instead of ~$400 (even though they are the same thing).

4:1, half-of-eight to the other.  Does it matter?   I’d think you will have investors running it up on both sides.  
 

Once it becomes “cheaper” (post split) you will see a sector of investors that maybe thought they couldnt afford it before. 
 

It’s a solid, long term hold.

Doesn’t matter a whole lot IMO. In my experience, waiting to buy AAPL has rarely worked out — the thing is a monster. If you’re planning on holding it for a while, I’d go ahead and start buying now. You can buy a little now, buy a little after the split a month from now, etc. if you’re worried about it dropping. 

 
Thoughts? 

1) Some sort of stimulus announcement is inevitable in the next week or so. 
2) Stimulus announcement with push SPY/QQQ up a point or two. 

Considering SPXL/TQQQ play.

Are we really just going to fade all day here?  We can't even get some half-assed bounce back like 30% of the morning dip?  This is brutal.

I guess the bear case would be that a second stimulus has been priced in for months — and it’s possible that the actual bill will underwhelm. A couple days ago there was chatter of a “skinny stimulus” involving only eviction protection and $200/week UI bonuses, I think that would be a huge disappointment. Hard to say what we’ll actually get though. Dem/GOP negotiations haven’t made it very far, and even Trump and McConnell seem to be on totally different wavelengths right now. 

 
I closed my TZA position in 3 separate sells today.  Didn't time the first two the best but it got me some green.

I like both as a long term play, but I'm not sure August is going to be smooth sailing up.

As will I, and same with AMZN. Between the recent performance and considering my cost basis is pretty low, I'm realizing now that I should really start thinking of my holdings here as a major component of my long term financial plan.

I'm looking to add a substantial (to me) position over the next month and I went ahead and grabbed about 20% of it AH's at around 405.

Knowing myself it will probably run up immediately tomorrow and I'll wait for a pull-back to add more to my position and it will just keep going up and a year from now I'll be b####ing to all of you that I only have 20% as much as I wanted.

ETA: I'm strongly considering just selling out of GOOGL to buy more AAPL instead of holding both.  I feel like it's really going to run up a little while after it splits.

I didn't do this :kicksrock:

I’m going to get back into CDW on Tuesday, maybe 1/3 a position. They just execute and I’m willing to bet they’ve been aggressively hitting up their clients on WFH strategies. Still the only big (although a midcap) fish in their particular pond. I just love the company. 
Click to expand...
Didn't do this then but I just did it now. They report next week. I wouldn't mind if they miss and it drops so I can buy more cheaper, because in the long run they'll execute. Knowing them, they managed a good quarter, anyway.

45% average annual dividend growth last 5 years but still a growth stock. Everything I said in this post I quoted.

ETA: sold out of TSN to do this. Not giving up on them but I was clearly way too early for that right now.

I bought down a few times.  Doubled up when it was in the 18.20's.  Lucked out on that one and almost didn't submit it.    

and green didn't = much.  more like i didn't lose on this run.
