Friday's Small Lots

I entered five shares positions using my small-lots approach. Two of the trades involved a new strategy for this experimental account: Dividend capture. (See Dividend Plays: A new small-lots experiment for more information on the strategy.)

The new positions:

sym	shares	entry date	exit date	entry price per share	exit price per share	result $	result %	annual rate	days held	tactic
CLD	36	10/14/2016		5.64						rsi-80
GOOD	11	10/14/2016		17.92						dividend
IRS	10	10/14/2016		19.47						rsi-80
LII	1	10/14/2016		161.67						earns
SNH	9	10/14/2016		21.81						dividend

I exited two positions:

sym	shares	entry date	exit date	entry price per share	exit price per share	result $	result %	annual rate	days held	tactic
AEZS	45	10/13/2016	10/14/2016	4.50	3.68	-0.82	-22.28%	-8133%	1	channel
SKYW	7	10/13/2016	10/14/2016	28.85	28.20	-0.65	-2.30%	-841%	1	rsi-80
