At least my facts are correct. You started here saying recent insider sales totaled 1.7 million when the fact from nasdaq is a net sell of less than 25,000 shares. All here now know you for a liar short. Thus, you get the iggy button.

Hey, slick liar. Schwartz is qualified to be your remedial reading comprehension tutor.

Yes, abject stupidity gets me worked up real fast. What happened to your opening subject line.......the 1.7 million insider sales recently sold? How did 1.7 million become nearly 1,000,000? Did you look at non-open market buys? Do you know what these are? Do they coincide with sells?

Yeah, now we get to the punchline......everything (undefined) pointing to a notable near-term retracement......
A classic wh0re short message......distort the facts and hope nobody notices the distortion, then make your dire prediction. You may not be as stupid as your posts indicate once your motive is exposed.

Yeah, Butcher didn't buy in the open market. Morbid stupidity is defined as a level of brain energy so low it just about keeps the vital organs functioning. There is no energy left over for intellectual activity. I suggest you call your broker to sell nrf for you since you cannot distinguise a non-open market buy nor can you subtract buys from sells. Remedial reading comprehension and 3rd grade math is prescribed.

Trying to convince someone who can't do 3rd grade math is a waste of time.
You list the names and number of shares sold that add up to 1.7 million and I'll reconsider whether you are too stupid to understand.

Ameritrade posted at 3:07pm today. Cost = 9.5314. Ameritrade buys drip shares the first business day after the pay date.

This shows the drip administrator released the discount drip units. All brokers get the drip units electronically at the same time, so now we get to see how efficient each broker is.

Nobody else drips NRF at brokers other than fidelity?

Schwab, Vanguard and others buy on the pay date, so those shares should be posted by now.

Ameritrade won't buy until Monday and should be posted by late Monday.

This poll only works to show readers how different brokers drip if enough different brokers are reported on.

After the failed Opportunity Fund (which was merged into Income 1) and the very slow start selling Income 1 while building the dealer network, the fact that Income 1 is almost sold out proves they can do it. Healthcare just started selling but I expect a much faster ramp because the dealer network is already in place. Just sign new papers to peddle Healthcare. They are expecting 40 million in management fees this year.

Not only is it annuity income, it takes very little NRF equity. They put 2 million into Healthcare to break escrow.
Even if they eventually put 30 million in, collecting 30 million in fees on a 1 billion fund is 100% of tied up capital per year.

I can sit back and collect my penny per quarter increase until a very slow market figures out NRF has fundamentally changed from it's pre-crisis business model.

Not that it's any of your business, but I have two position limits: I generally will not add to a position (except to flip) if the addition brings the value of the position to more than 5% of my portfolio. If a position grows to more than 10% of my portfolio, I consider trimming the excess over 10% if I have reasonable alternatives with the after tax proceeds.

The trim consideration includes my weighing the likelihood of an overnight catastrophic event causing a huge decrease in price immediately. I'm much more likely to trim, say, SCCO where a well-placed earthquake in either Mexico or Peru could stop about 50% of copper production for an extended period of time than trim SUI with such a "glacier" revenue base.

Also, it's obvious the market values a more conservative balance sheet over higher leverage to increase the distribution. The last two common SPOs have been followed by substantial price increases.

SUI is an asset class like no other in my portfolio with a stability of cash flow like no other. JPM is increasing their dividend by over 26%, NEE was 10%, PM and MO, GE, PFE, ABBV etc, etc will also increase. I'm not worried about my dividends not increasing by at least inflation.

Your condescending post did not tell me anything I did not already know.

Well, 9.40 is 93% of 10.11 (ex-div 10.30). I'd consider 7% a pretty good takedown when the only change in fundamentals is insider sales of compensation shares somewhat offset by Butcher's open market buy.

Naw, I want the additional tax basis.
