Also, I just checked NYSE's website and it shows BMY's previous close was indeed $27.15 ... The specialist must have been in a good mood this morning to have filled you @ $27.1 on you natural short ...
X Dividend today.....28 cents, that explains the uptick. Since a stock will open "flat" at a lower price (the dividend amount), then anything higher than that adjusted price will be an uptick. Sorry for any confusion.....glad to see you're all paying attention!! Don
Thanks to Don and Spoonman27 ... Now it all makes sense now ... I guess I need to pay attention to upcoming xd's and adjust for them in the future ...
A good source to check for stocks going ex-dividend on any particular day is http://www.companyboardroom.com/highlight.asp?client=cb, just check the dividend tab.
Thanks, Dave...for the info!! Wednesday I made a whopping $18!! But, at least we had decent night of Blackjack last night........ Back to you for the opening tomorrow...then it's "fireworks" time.!! Don
$80 bucks.....got out way to soon on KRB, but I was "influenced" by the general market condition.....short day, Specialists gone, all that stuff.... Everyone have a great Holiday....back to you on Monday...... Don
Seemed very quiet this morning. Did anyone else notice this? Only got 4 fills when on a day like this I'd usually get AT LEAST a dozen. Not complaining as they were all profitable
Flaking out Tuesday and Wednesday.... A bit late getting into the office....missed the opening.....back to it tomorrow... Don
