Canadian Western Bank was up 4.7% as fears of insurance losses due to Alberta floods were mostly unfounded. I hope to buy back the shares I sold on that fear but it’s hard to buy back at a higher price. I entered an order to buy a bit over $28.
Markets rose today despite Syria. I don’t think it’s worth bothering to try to predict short term movements, instead I focus on trying to take advantage of random movements in individual stocks. Trim a little on gains, buy on dips, or just hold good stocks and forget about it.
