You did good buys in low-middle 44's.... I'd buy if it drops below 44.
TA I will be ading on dip below 20

I got TA @ 20.44 now it dipped more than 2% the first 2 days... granted planning to have it long term in TFSA.. maybe i will add more on my non-registered if dip below 20

US feds not planning to raise rates till 2014, not saying unexpected. looks like stock that buys US mortgage securities (like AGNC) will keep their dividends high for the next little while..

do you guys see these stocks going up? i've had AGNC for more than a year now and planning to hold on for the next little while

I had AGNC last year and sold it after several months for a small profit....maybe some time I'll buy it or NLY, but I don't consider them as long or even medium term hold

I bought it into TFSA, split new contr 5K to 2 portions, bought 1st portion 20.29 and plan to buy 2nd one if it drop below $20

why? rationale? (well depends what your definition of long term hold is). price has been relatively stable and dividend yield should stay stable as long as feds don't increase interest rates - or at least that's what my research tells me.

Comments welcome!

One of the trade lasted 50 seconds. I remember the old days when I had to manually enter every order and day trading is prone to fat finger mistakes.

I am particularly fond of a memory where I submitted an order with an extra zero in the amount of shares for HBANP about 3 years ago that had me go into crazy mode.

yeah too bad my whole portion went @ 20.44, was just too caught up with other things.

Trades & short posts can be done very fast & no doubt that some people abuse their employers, but it is not up to us to lecture such employees, it is up to their respective employers to know what their employees do.

No, not lecturing, just making a point. I was never a hard nosed employer when I had employees, just that on some other threads, comments were made about public employees not productive and other unfair comments. To me, it does not really matter as long as the employees were able to do their work well and deliver on time, but you are right, both employees do abuse their employers and some employers run a sweat shop where every minute is monitored.

Not to make you feel bad KaeJS, but look at G now [check gold thread].

I;d buy ABT and BCE on today's dips, but....no money available

Still a good price with a nice yield. Don't sweat it.

I don't feel bad at all. I still have 100 shares at $45.45
