$11/share over where I bought it. It is down to $48.87 now. I think I'll take the profits if it gets to $48.
I'm waiting on AGNC to declare the next dividend. Taking a beating on it right now. I want to hold it on the ex-dividend date, then sell. I'd maybe watch to see how far down it goes and buy it right back.

If you own a $30 stock that will pay a quarterly dividend of $.50 then the day after the stock goes ex it will open(theoretcally) at $29.50.

When a company pays a dividend, it is using its

retained earnings/equity to do so. Once it pays a dividend, the amount of the company's equity is reduced, therefore equity per share is also reduced.
The calculation isn't this simple, but for a simple explanation...if a company pays a dividend of $1 and it's worth $20 right before so, the stock price should immediately drop to $19

drop dollar for dollar. If it stays around the price it is now, the dividend will take some of the sting out of the pershare loss.

It's never going to be exact because of taxation

and because of after-hours trading...in theory a stock that closes at 20 and pays the $1 should open at 19, but the after-hours traders can change the market value based on how they value it and it can open much higher or lower than 19

Also Aero... on REITs you have to pay attention to the mortgage rates... if there is any indication they are going up, I would bail.

Ill give you another one to pay attention to. Sony (SNE). Follow this model. Buy in Late November/early December and sell in mid-late March. If you track that back the past 10 years only one year would have not made money and that was the year of the crash. One year that model would have made 5% with the rest of the time making 20-30%. This year would have been 70%... sadly, for whatever unbeknownst reason, I didnt do it this year.

Yeah... I am wondering if it is inflated for no reason and it will correct soon. Oh well... it is all a gamble. Some moves are safer than others.

And one more bit of stock info... check out WAB. Check out its 10 year history if you think it has just been a fluke. And it is about to do a 1 to 2.

If anyone is wanting to take a gamble, PTIE is waiting on wether or not Pfizer is going to continue backing. If Pfizer says yay, it will double... if no, it will drop.
