Public pressure and political survival will dictate swift action !
It'll be interesting to hear the crap spew from their corporate
mouth's, in order to explain away this travisty. Work related
convention or such. :blink:

What in the world?

UYG is down about 5% in the premarket.

More than five years ago, in April 2003, the attorneys general of two small states traveled to Washington with a stern warning for the nation's top bank regulator. Sitting in the spacious Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, with its panoramic view of the capital, the AGs from North Carolina and Iowa said lenders were pushing increasingly risky mortgages. Their host, John D. Hawke Jr., expressed skepticism.

Following in Birch's footsteps I started buying today.

I assume my positions are WAY smaller than Birch's, but ya gotta start somewhere.

Anyway, I bought some UYG at $7.88 and EXM at $11.41

 

[Birchtree]

I paid $11.98 for my EXM today - what a great dividend.

Trying something new with some found money. The new thing is, buy and hold. At least in this account.

The money is for my daughter, who is 10, so the investment time horizon is several years. Possibly as long at 10 yrs.

It's not a great deal of money, but it is still money.

 

[weatherweenie]

Doubled up on EXM at $9.10

 

[Birchtree]

I got my last purchase at $10.26 - so you done well.

Doubled up on EXM at $9.10

Been busy moving, didn't update that I got out at $12.50.

Worried about the sector given the following: Diana Shipping suspends future dividends.
