i accidentally hit a 2 instead of a 1 on the schx buy yesterday and didn't catch it until it had filled. i got a double block of shares, could be good could be a bad thing, but i'm going to try to clear out half the position at not a loss to get back to the allocation i was after.

limit sell order for schx @ 30.75 = ~1%

didn't hit, again. maybe i'm being just a bit greedy here, i just want 1 block of these shares off the table at any kind of profit, got my whole allocation all screwed up, nervous.

[burrocrat]

finally dumped 1/2 position schx at 31.11 9:54 am says transaction history, ~ 2%, close enough.

roth ira bought sche at 28.60 limit day only sell at 28.75, too heavy in the international, this one has been negative from the start, just looking to get out even ~ 1/2%

if it fills it will leave me in 60% cash for this account
20% acct is in schf buy 26.49 current 28.68 ~ +8%
20% acct is in schx buy 30.49 current 31.17 ~ +2%

[burrocrat]

brokerage account is all in just two positions

sche buy at 28.87 current 28.59 ~ -1%
ung buy at 5.99 current 11.53 but there was split or something happened there now it got half the shares but they're worth double what's up with that? anyway i got a twofer on this one all right, i managed to get in at both the wrong time and the wrong price, ~ 7% by the numbers but the commissions on the buy/sell make it even worse.

roth: sell SCHE at $28.66 on 03/29/11, in at $28.60. i got out at +0.2% just to get rid of it, already hold a block of these in the brokerage account, too heavy on the international.

SCHH is a new ETF i'm going to add to the roth acct should be no tax consequences, and no trade commissions, and a 0.13% expense ratio, tracks Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index.

that should give me a decent distribution in SCHX, SCHF, and SCHH for 60% of acct. value, got them at prices i'm happy with, good prospects for long term hold, play around with hit and git trades with the remaining 40%.
