This markets been relatively placid and slightly sanguine running into the beginning of this conflict. Priced in and blah blah. The first part of the tariffs on China goes live at midnight. They've already outlined their response will be more pork tariffs, corn & soybeans, etc.
I suppose we'll know if they'll really retaliate by the morning and if we'll get into a back and forth tit for tat. We'll get more jobs report data tomorrow and the hourly wage report in the morning. |

I sold another Put on IQ a few weeks ago.
It's tanked enough that I might get some shares placed on me tomorrow ($30.5) and that's ok as I think it's reaching it's bottom. But if I don't get shares placed again, I make a little money. Win. It's looking like it's taking a pounding on the futures again tonight. Will be interesting to see where it's at early morning. |

On a completely different note, I'd like to report something that chafes me and see if anyone has a solution.
I'd like to know the total return on a stock when I hold it, but if the stock pays a dividend it seems like this is impossible. For example, if I buy and hold a non-dividend stock at a cost of (for example) $1,000, I can look a year later and if it's at $1,100 then I got a 10% return. But let's say I hold a dividend stock that pays 3%, and it also goes up 10% in that year. If I'm reinvesting dividends, I now have $1,130 in stock, but the cost basis is now $1,030 because it counts the purchase of the re-invested dividends as a cost. So it says my return is 1130/1030 = 9.7% when it's really 1130/1000 = 13.0%. If I don't reinvest dividends I have a different problem because then I have to chase down the cash and manually add it back in to calculate returns. This really bugs me, because essentially it undercounts my returns on dividend stocks pretty notably. I can't think of a workaround unless there's some setting on the various brokerage sites that can adjust for it. Anyone else ever address this?

On an actual investing note, wife and I are gonna try to max our Roth IRAs again this year but it's a bit tighter doing it on one salary this year. lol Also started a 529 through Fidelity for my son. Tax savings on this plan look decent. |

Morningstar and even Yahoo will show Total Return data if you just bought once, you should be able to scale the chart to reflect the total return since your purchase date. My broker has a 5 year chart of this kind under Total Return but it's not literal numbers from any of my purchase/lots. Both of those have portfolio features where you can add your stock/lots but I don't know if that'd help.. I don't use either in that fashion. |

Stocks being sold off heavily after hours currently.
Rumor has it White House set to name $200-billion more possible tariffs on Chinese goods. This will not be good. |
