UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 2012

Re: UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 20

I should have stuck with my plan. RNO bounced right back closed today just 4 cents below close Monday and those that held the shares at opening bell this morning gained the divi. Next quarter I will put the entire plan into play and see how it works out as long as its not a very bearish August.

The Fed has announced a desire or need to look into REITS specifically mREITS. I'm gonna wait a bit to see the outcome of this. NYMT financials look good last Quarter. Just anounced preliminary Q1 results. Now if NYMT gets closer to 6.50...................

OXF still running, wish I had bought more. Up 33% in just over 5 weeks.

I really, really want a pull back on AI!

bought 3965 shares of nycb to add to 1035 shares for an average price of $13.31
$1,250 quarter dividend = $5,000 per year

fridays close $13.36

this price won't hurt anyone...slow growth so the stock doesn't move up quickly but it does go up over time (in the $14's)
as interest rates rise banks will make more money (all banks)

-----------------------------------------------------

scottrade account

undervalued stock (my opinion)
next trade...if i get stuck and have to hold will make $448 dividend (or similar to last dividend)
most likely buying 659 shares of ect $13.35 monday
announces dividend within next 2 weeks
last dividend .68 cents

i'm thinking it moves more than rno
making money is about taking some chances as we all know

RNO is between the EX date and the date of record...lets see what happens in a week or two
people are stuck to the date of record May 2nd...price is going to change a lot
NYMT isn't going to $6.50 (my opinion)

I put in some limit orders on NYMT and MM. WIll have to wait and see if it hits the number I set (I have it a bit lower then where it ended yesterday, I'm thinking the market will contract a bit more.

always keep RNO on your radar for the next 3 months
keep some cash ready
.445 cents is to hard to resist at 13 bucks...always will be
coal scares investors because the EPA can make them spend money to burn cleaner
this stock is the real deal...you know getting in at $13.50 and below is profitable
when the stock goes below $13.50 i'm gonna post how to make money for everyone
----------------------------------------------
NYMT solid dividend play...price of stock will get back to $7.28 but that's about it
----------------------------------------------
MM...total spec play...i feel it's at the bottom and is oversold...usually don't recommend a stock
that doesn't pay a dividend but this one caught my eye
----------------------------------------
market doesn't go down hard 2 days in a row recently
did help the EU cut the interest rate .25%
best to buy on hard pullback because the next day the market's coming back
just my view

lets make lots of money

Well, you were right today about a bump after a bad day. I do usually try to have at least 10% in cash so I can buy when there is an opportunity. Usually most of the money is spoken for with limit orders for stocks that I would like to get if it dips low enough (also, if I don't have a chance to watch the markets closely).
I should try to look right around 3:45 to see what happened that day and see if it is a buying opportunity due to drops. Most of my 401K is in various mutual funds. I don't have the time available to do a lot of research. So I only do odd stocks like the RNO for fun. Most of the mutual funds are 4 or 5 star rated by Morningstar and I try to spread it out over multiple areas (Health Care, Intl, etc, etc). I do also have a real risky one that I only put about 6K in initially earlier this year and it's gone up 66% since that time. Again, very risky.. It's UJPSX it's from the Profund family and this fund concentrates on the stock index in Japan. Due to leveraging, if the market goes up 10%, this fund goes up 20%. Unfortunately, if the market goes down 10%, it goes down 20%.


I'm debating, do I play it safe and take my 66% profit that I got this year or do I double down and put more money in?

Re: UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 20

had Friday off...watched some CNBC and certain things caught my ear...learned a lot

1. this market can go 2,000 to 3,000 points higher
2. average investor that got burned in 2007-08 are still out of this rally
3. market trades in million shares (in the lower-mid 2000's market traded a billion shares everyday)
means spec money is out of this market
4. some other markets are doing better than the dow jones in % (were not the only bull market)
5. what can cause the dow jones to stumble
A. October debt ceiling comes back into play
B. Ben Bernanke may (probably) quit in December
6. Mortgage Reits went down today because a guy that may change some rules that would hurt them
is being nominated for an open position...the republicans will probably reject him...as of now i see no reason
to not hold them...i own 3 of them...AI...NYMT...WMC...keeping all 3 for now...things change so need to
watch carefully
7. Warren Buffett live on CNBC Monday morning...will watch 6am till i leave for work at 8am

hope this helps
looks to me the bull market is going to run some more



looks like to me buy on a hard pull back is the way to go for now

Re: UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 20

I popped on NYMT at 7.05 as it went down a bit today. Hopefully, we'll see some bounce back next week and\or at least let the divi's roll in. Hopefully this one will do as RNO did for me earlier. UJPSX went up another 4.9% and now almost 70% since I got it earlier this year.

you will make money but nothing like RNO...most NYMT will go up is $7.38 (max) by next dividend...total dividend play
if your not looking for a constant dividend payer you may want to bail when you make your money back

ECT is my next RNO if i'm correct but you never know...can have a miss

always money to be made...never feel you missed something...something is always are the corner

NYMT will never hurt you @$7.05 but the money is made off the dividend...not sure if your looking for that
in my portfolio i need solid dividend payers to pay for reinvesting...NYMT is one that i own and hold

Re: UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 20

worst thing that happens you get a dividend around $500
best thing that happens at $8 a point ECT runs 200 points and you cash out around $1,600 before the EX date
stock is at a bottom right now before the dividend announcement (my opinion)
ECT...natural gas trust has many more years before it ends

i own 650 shares...dividend announcement this week
like RNO the dividend is too hard to resist (my opinion)

​either way dividend/capitol gains we are gonna make money

Re: UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 20

My Merril Edge account now sits at a hair under 6K. I started in September with $1,800. I have put $50 in each and every Friday and have not pulled anything out. Other than 1 extra addition I put in to buy 1 stock (I think it was under $300) the remainder is all divis, gains and appreciation. Beats the hell out of the 0.01% interest savings account I raided to start with the $1800.

Just checked the 401K account. Up 14.14% for the year thus far. 14.14% in 5 months! There is no way the market can keep moving like this can it? Don't get me wrong I would love a 30% gain for 2013.

I am on track to be at $25K in the broker account by 2014. I am planning to transfer 100 available shares of UPS from Computershare and the 3% after tax withholdings from the 401K account. So in 2014 I should be able to avoid the trading fees. At that point I plan to shift more into "trading" as opposed to "investing."

On a side note, I am starting to hear talk about the Fed possibly ending QE3, which is a prelude to the end of ZIRP. I think things are going to get real interesting in the next 6 months.

I will play the RNO "game" for the next divi run-up and plan to watch the ECT play this time around. After the RNO sale and this month's divis I am looking for my next purchase as the account has cash waiting to be put to use.

Re: UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 20

I just pulled $150k+ out of the market (my 401k). I am not an expert on the market. But there are other factors outside the market will cause me to sit on the sidelines for the next 2 months or so. Last time I did this was just before the 2008 financial crisis. Do whatever you see fit, but I think we may be looking at a downturn bigger than 2008.
