Today is an interesting day on Wall Street. The stocks can’t seem to decide if they want to go up or down. It looks like a good day to get in some day trading. Right now I’m keeping an eye on KYN (Kayne Anderson MLP Investment). I have a sell order for 25.99 and it looks like it may just make it today. We will have come out about even on the stock buy/sell itself, but still made a good profit on the dividend paid in January.

We are still holding onto the stock we have in CHG (CH Energy Group Inc.), I still think it will go back up. I hope that isn’t just wishful thinking on my part.

As a little side note – what do you all think of Scottrades new format? I’m liking it a little better now that I’m getting used to it. The first time I logged into my Scottrade after they changed it I didn’t think I liked it at all.

UPDATE – 11:15AM – Have put in a buy order for HI (Hillenbrand Inc.) for 21.26 a share. They have an EX date of 3/15 and are paying .18 a share. I’m not sure if we can get it bought for this price but have the order in. I have set this buy order to last only today on Scottrade.

EVENING UPDATE – This turned out to be a good day for us and the stock market. We still have CHG and KYN, I’m not willing to take a loss on them yet.

We bought USMO (USA Mobility Inc.) for 12.65 a share, it is has an EX date of 3/15 paying .25 a share.
Then, was able to get HI (Hillenbrand Inc.) for 21.26 a share. HI dividend is .18 with an EX date of 3/15.
