(Profit in the performance-chemicals unit declined on lower demand for the white pigment titanium dioxide, and electronics earnings fell on lower sales of photovoltaic materials.
“About 60 percent of incremental earnings growth since 2009 has come from titanium dioxide,” Hassan Ahmed, a New York- based analyst at Alembic Global Advisors who rates the shares neutral, the equivalent of hold, said today by phone. “If that’s cycling down, it seriously jeopardizes Ellen’s earnings growth target and has quite serious ramifications for 2013 and beyond.”).
Well, one of my largest dividend holding is/was TROX, and like 100% of their business is Titanium Dioxide. So I panicked, and sold all my shares at the opening bell. Looks like a savvy move thus far, as TROX is off another 5.2% since I pulled the trigger, though they did bounce off their lows.
So that was (so far) a good panic. But I also sold my GTAT, just thinking I wanted to be out of some of the higher beta names. That was not such a savvy move, as GTAT is up a snappy 8% since the sale. Hmmm. Oh well, at least I am a bit more defensive as we head into the election cycle. A lot of pundits seem to think the market will explode upwards if Romney wins. I am not so sure.
Here is how my dividend portfolio looks. Still holding up solidly!
