BGS up 23 percent today. Still has 19 percent div. I’ll sell my more expensive shares for a tax loss. Hopefully buy them back on a dip after a month.

I’ll sell my more expensive shares for a tax loss.

December will be entertaining. I don't usually get heavily into harvesting, but this year it's a necessity.

In some cases, I'll swap rather than sit out. For example, if I need to exit GDX, I can buy SGDM instead. To replace GDXJ, I can buy SGDJ.

I asked ChatGPT for a BGS substitution, and it recommended CAG. The companies have significant differences, but they do move somewhat generally together.

Ditto! I already picked up a while ago CAG and GIS. I plan on hanging on to high div Mortgage stocks as long as interest rates keep heading down. Hopefully that will keep defaults lower. I also need to add more Nat Resc stocks and gold mines. Rare earth too if there are opportunities.
Of course “ on sale “ purchases are preferable. Will probably nibble sqqq too.

Love to see it. HUN slashes its dividend by two-thirds, and the stock is +13%.

Everyone knows chemicals are in a downturn. A dividend cut is just acceptance of reality.

DKNG filled at 25.68 after-hours.

DKNG now green, above 28. Yesterday was only one small purchase, so no cause for celebration.
