Purchased 114.9557 Shares of Union Pacific<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

From my Lessons Learned<\/span><\/strong><\/a> article posted a few days ago, I stated that I needed to have greater dispersion with my buy\/sell trigger points in my model. Last year I wrote that my buy\/sell triggers for Union Pacific<\/span><\/strong><\/a> were a 17% market price decrease from the prior peak and to sell at 100% of prior peak. This year, I reset those points to:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Buy Point – 18% market price decrease from prior peak<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Sell Point – 102% of prior peak<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    On 10\/16\/2020 around 2:40PM the market price peaked at $210.95 per share. This means my buy\/sell points are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Buy Point – $172.98\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Sell Point – $215.17<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      At market opening this morning, the price dropped past the $172.98 to a low of $171.66 at 10:01 AM. However, my orders are prearranged and thus, I purchased 114.9557 shares of Union Pacific<\/span><\/strong> <\/a>at $173.98\/share including trading costs of $1 per share. Thus, I now have a $20,000 position with Union Pacific.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Altogether, the Value Investing Fund has two pools currently. The REIT pool has $60,000 invested over 3 stocks and the Railways pool has $40,000 invested between Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific. None of the other four railways are close to the preset buy\/sell trigger points.<\/span><\/p>\n

      As of this morning (11:30 AM), the Value Investing Fund has the following values:<\/span><\/p>\n

      In addition the fund has $330.40 in the cash account for the PUTs<\/span><\/strong><\/a> sold on Union Pacific for $170 per share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Altogether, this appears not so good; in effect the fund is down $6,000. Its OK though; again, I remind readers that with value investing, the key is to maintain patience. The underlying business ratios tell me that the respective prices will recover to their prior peaks within a reasonable period of time. Now it is just a matter of waiting.
