Week 207 (till Feb. 21, 2025)

Review

In week 207 the dividend payments were $20.96. Selling LMT produced a gain of $50.31 and selling INTC produced a loss of $127.81.

Plans 

The purchases of MFC (week 207-ending 2/21/25) and BXSL (week 208-ending 2/28/25) already happened. The next 2 weeks are very busy. I will do the investment in DBMF for week 209 already in the upcoming days.
INTC and LMT returned $532 back into the account. 
WMT had earnings 2/20. The market clearly did not like it. The earnings itself were not bad, but the outlook, according to the analysts, was disappointing. 
2025-02-22-01
From the high of $105.30 the close on Friday was $94.78. That is a 9.99% decline in just  a few days,
Note WMT is in the consumer staples sector. This are the companies, that consumer frequent, no matter what. We all need articles for daily consumption. 
I watch about 400 tickers. No, I am not looking at all of them every day. I sort them for different criterias and look at the top and bottoms. 
On Friday 292 of those tickers were down, 5 unchanged and the rest was up. 
Now, why am I talking about this? There is a change in the market starting to show. Talking about this would mean to get into politics, which I will not do here.
For that reason the $532 remain in cash in the account. The account pays about 4% interest. A lot more then my savings account. For now I will continue to invest the 200$/week. It may change on a dime.
