Why did so many of my stocks end up down today when the dow went up? Are people selling? I'm as green as they come.



Well.... who knows. Some days I see the market is down - and my account is positive -- some times it's the opposite... There's just now telling why on any given day some shares are up and some are down. When you think you have it all figured out --- somebody on wall street pulls the rug out from under you.


Remember too -- that particularly with DIVIDEND paying stocks -- the day they go "EX" dividend or pay the dividend (which is the pay date not the EX date) they'll go down the amount they paid out.
