re don't sell on down days

It all depends on your comfort level. 

If you made a profit, don't cry over spilled milk. 

I have a real problem with establishing what the bottom of the price or what the top of the price is of any given investment vehicle, so trade within a range that's comfortable for me. 

We're all blessed with hindsight. 

I use stop losses on most trades. 

This wouldn't be the first time I've had that kick in at what appears to be an inopportune time. 

That isn't going to stop me from continuing to use the function as it's one of the best ways of preserving capital I know. 

SueBee, you haven't lost a huge amount that will significantly change anything important. 

Roll with it. 

Markets are in a huge transition right now and nothing is happening that was normal prior to 2019. 

Even the talking heads and their guests on most of the ''business news channels'' are giving mixed signals on everything and they have cadres of analysts and info gatherers. 

China and Japan are contrarians as far as interest rates go right now. The rest of the world is raising rates. 

They're both major players and their policies have major effects on the markets all across the world. 

India is, as usual, playing their own game but they're now a major influence as well. 

Where do you take your lead from????

If BK gets its distribution back to a normal level, it should be OK again. Right now, it could easily tank overnight on bad news, along with all of the other splits. 

So far, its saving grace has been the Canadian banks. 

We'll see how it works out. 

I'm fine with being in 100% cash again. I've been trading this vehicle and one other on the swings and have more than doubled the profits I would have made collecting distributions, while maintaining the integrity of my base capital. 

That's a good year for me. 

But this is my comfort zone and you have yours. 

GLTA the good folks here.

For myself I need to be making passive income, but if my etfs go down a bit I can purchase shares at a larger yield for waiting. What I'm thinking with this is the yield is high now, but once the dividend is paid will it tank further? Also what happens to the yield and share price after the dividend is paid or once the next one is declared?

With BK the next distribution is determined by the average selling price of the last 3 days of the previous month. SO this month BK is getting 16.5 cents based on an average sale price of $13.20 at the End of JULY. If this month end's average selling price is $12.80 ( which would still represent a huge premium) the distributions drops  to 16 cents even.... that certainly does NOT make up

[SueBee2772]

That's why I exited. I think this might plummet.

There is nothing passive about  the income from this security -- its returning your capital. With this level of premium avoid at all costs -- just my opinion.
