Hi Saleem,
Sold DKS @ 55.90
Bought LYB @ 80.50
I actually wanted to sell YUM instead because I believe I got that direction incorrect. I couldn't sell until tomorrow, so I sold DKS instead. I will probably swap those tomorrow.
I spelled out the reasons for the LYB purchase earlier today :)

Hi Stocktrader,
Good luck with LYB.

Hi Saleem,
I don't know if you've ever looked at TRIL, but it is a Canadian company. It is listed in Toronto also with the ticker TR. Just thought maybe that info would interest you :)

Hi Stocktrader,
I was aware of Trillium Canadian roots....
When you started to purchase around $12.95 area, i called my broker to ask about margin on TRIL...they said 0 margin allowed.....thus no interest in TRIL / ZYNE as no margin given.
Even VRX...they only give 50% vs 70% for frontline stocks....
Saleem
Hi Saleem,
Ah, I forgot that you need margin to make the portfolio work!
Your comments made me go look up my purchase prices:
I got 40% of my current position at 10.77 on that first buy day 8/15.
I got the other 60% at 12.98 avg from 8/31-9/06.
That puts me at 12.10 avg for the whole position--not bad...
