Sometime Better Lucky Than Good

Sometimes Better Lucky Than Good

I beat myself up ALL the time for selling stocks and then seeing them pop post sale.  Well, at times the shoe can be on the other foot.

I had bought AKRX as part of my 2/1/17 MFI Select tranche.  It was fabulous for me, up about 85% (inclusive of a call premium I sold) as they were being bought by a German company.

Today it seems that deal has fallen through, but as I sold at the start of February, I am watching from the sidelines.  The stock is down 37% after hours this evening.

Here was the tranche:


2/1/2017  Start   Current   Dividend   Pct Gain   R3K Gain 
 AKRX  $19.10 $30.00 $5.43 85.5% 24.7%
 YY  $41.08 $132.96 $0.00 223.7% 24.7%
 KLAC  $85.11 $109.80 $2.26 31.7% 24.7%
 WNC  $17.65 $25.83 $0.24 47.7% 24.7%
 RGR  $52.75 $52.95 $1.36 3.0% 24.7%
 Totals  74.9% 24.7%


At $19 as I type.

Strong day for my MFI stocks.  DIN and HPQ were each up over 6%.  DIN has been ungodly in February.  Here are all my MFI Formula stocks in February (they have been en fuego):


 Stock   Current   Dividend   Change 
 GILD          81.79                       -   -2.0%
 OMC          78.10                       -   2.5%
 GME          16.08                       -   -3.5%
 SYNT          26.64                       -   17.2%
 CSCO          45.36                       -   8.8%
 HPQ          23.46                       -   0.7%
 AMGN        188.50                  1.32 2.3%
 HRB          26.87                       -   2.8%
 BKE          22.35                       -   11.2%
 DIN          74.05                       -   34.2%
 RGR          48.80                       -   -4.8%

That works out to +4.8%, while market is down about 1%.  Now I am sure I have jinxed it.
