Welcome to the October 15th investing newsletter to help you stay on top of the market and prepped for next week. Overall we are half way through October and dealing with the seasonal pullback October usually brings. I’ve been using the recent decline to close covered calls in COPX 0.00%↑ , CARR 0.00%↑ , and have been looking at adding beat up dividend stocks and ETFs such as O 0.00%↑ , KO 0.00%↑, and KMI 0.00%↑ . No major changes to the portfolio right now, but I continue to dollar cost into my 401K and HSAs, and 429s each pay period. Next week brings us more financial earnings as well as big S&P stocks such as Tesla and Netflix.

The Nasdaq, Dow, and S&P all traded up this week, while Small Caps declined. The 10 year rate declined about 3.50% while bond funds like TLT started to turn a corner.
Energy, Utilities and Real Estate performed extremely well this past week. Even financials caught a break with JPM reporting earnings, and additional banks such as Goldman and Bank of America reporting next week.
