Not saying they are buys, or that they'll rebound, there could be a reason they are off, but it's still a couple of stocks to check out.
Chico I made a short term move on HIMX in an effort to chip away at my cost basis...

A dividend date is coming on 7/19 and I expect a little pressure following the date. The account holds 1000 shares of HIMX at an average cost of 8.05 per share....
MSFT seems to be quietly rocking right now, hitting highs.
They are expected to announce earnings at the close on Thursday.
Any thoughts on trading into those earnings or are we going to see a small pullback? It seems like any excuse to come of the high could come out.
guidance killing some stocks, look at UNH today. very scary trading into the earnings at this time, just my opinion. i defer to you - what is your hunch here?MSFT seems to be quietly rocking right now, hitting highs.

I have shares at 98.65 so I'm up a bit with a little wiggle room for a pullback.

anything related to Real Estate taking huge haircuts today
Public Storage leading the group lower. They have all had a pretty good run. The tax law is good for them and not a terrible idea to nibble. Not on Public Storage though. Guys like STWD paying 8.7% will be fine.anything related to Real Estate taking huge haircuts today
I'm not sure as of now what's going on but the Real Estate sector is down broadly, but it doesn't seem like too much.anything related to Real Estate taking huge haircuts today
PSA off quite a bit yesterday but it shouldn't bleed over too much for any lasting effect.
Some parts of the sector turning positive as I made the screen. No stock listed here, but I can breakdown any category into it's components.

KVB you ever make earnings trades?
Good for strangles
STWD looks solid.Public Storage leading the group lower. They have all had a pretty good run. The tax law is good for them and not a terrible idea to nibble. Not on Public Storage though. Guys like STWD paying 8.7% will be fine.
Interesting chart as well, what happens to them in a rising rate environment?
Clearly there was nibbling. In my opinion there were plenty of buyers into the selling, plenty. It's trying to knock upward to it's next support/resistance.
Sometimes, I'll keep getting creative in that Total Return Fund.KVB you ever make earnings trades?

Straddles and strangles coming in the Total Return fund, and yeah, maybe we some some more balls with naked trades in there too, when the time is right.
if you are into dividends i have nrz for 3 years. pays 50 cent dividend every quarter. i got it at around 13 and now over 18. roy says it is a dog but i like it so far.STWD looks solid.

I'm not the master, but technically this looks like a decent time to buy and if it were to fall back about 10% from here, the safety of the dividend at this point, you'd be at a really strong, in my opinion, point of support.if you are into dividends i have nrz for 3 years. pays 50 cent dividend every quarter. i got it at around 13 and now over 18. roy says it is a dog but i like it so far.
Been climbing to a 52 week high, just off, and recovered well from the dividend ex date hangover. Not sure why investors bailed right before that, with volume. Maybe they were selling into what they thought would be dividend buyers but overwhelmed those buyers.

I said NRZ is a dog? I might of said it is a little over leveraged but I've owned it before. I'm a long time holder of AGNC who pays .185 a month. Hedged out with calls it's a 20% guy.if you are into dividends i have nrz for 3 years. pays 50 cent dividend every quarter. i got it at around 13 and now over 18. roy says it is a dog but i like it so far.
STWD is a much more diversified and conservative play. You can put that one in the drawer.
