Sell signals for AFL, CARR, CINF, LEG

Reduce: Aflac

Several sell signals were created today for positions in our portfolio. The first one being Aflac (AFL). We started this position in 2016, reduced it somewhat in 2019 and then increased it again on a couple of occasions. Based on today's signal we reduced the position at an average price of USD 39.0912. The unit costs were at USD 32.321. This represents a gain of 20.95%. A good result.

AFL being a dividend aristocrats we continue to see the company as a long-term investment. Based on signals from our systems we may or may not increase or decrease our position.

Reduce: Carrier Global Corporation

Yet another sell signal was created for Carrier Global Corporation (CAR). The stock continues to perform quite well relative to the stock market. As a result, our systems are reducing this position. This time we sold at an average price of USD 22.64. With unit costs at 13.566 this represents a gain of 66.89%. This, too, is quite satisfactory result.

CARR is a dividend aristocrat as well. We continue to see it as a long-term investment. As with the other stocks mentioned in this post we may or may not increase or decrease this position in the future.

Reduce: Cincinatti Financial Corporation

The next sell signal was for Cincinatty Financial Corporation (CINF). We've had this position since 2016. Since then there were several sell and buy signals. Most recently there were buy signals at prices of USD 60.82, USD 55.80 and USD 53.9585 in May.

We reduced our position at an average price of USD 64.3017. With average unit costs of USD 55.70 this represents a gain of 15.44%. Given the cirumstances in the last few months this is a good result.

As mentioned above CINF is a long-term investment but we may increase or decrease the position in the future.

Reduce: Leggett & Platt Inc

The final sell signal for today was for Leggett & Platt Inc (LEG). This stock is also quite interesting in terms of the signals over the last couple of months. On 2nd April a buy signal was created at USD 23.95 followed by a sequence of sell signals in the same month, each of them at increasingly higher prices from USD 27.03 up to USD 36.02.

Then on 11 May another buy signal was generated at USD 28.52. Since then there were several sell signals, again with increasing prices from USD 30.31 up to USD 35.57 today.

With unit costs of USD 28.52 today's sell represents a gain of 24.72%. Again, a very good result.

Leggett & Platt Inc is a dividend aristocrat, too. We see it as a long-term investment and will continue to keep this position, reducing or increasing if the right opportunity presents itself.
