Following the sharp fall in the US market yesterday the RMD share price opened for trading at $27.70 just below the updated stop loss level of $27.75. As a result, the position has now been closed for a profit.
Markets are once again focused on bond yields and playing the guessing game as to when interest rates will be cut by central banks. We expect volatility to persist in the short term so locking in a profit and removing risk from the portfolio is the right move.
One thing we have not previously factored in is the two quarterly dividends RMD has paid
- Ex-dividend 8th November amount $0.0528
- Ex-dividend 7th February amount $0.0517
Closed position Result
Number of Shares Purchased: 300
Initial buy price: $23.40
Exit Price: $27.70
Dividend: $0.1045
Position closed for a Profit of $1,321.40 or an 18.82% return on funds invested
