switch campaign AT&T with GSK #639 Optimal Strategy of Playing the StockMarket via VonNeumann Game Theory

As a man with cancer, old habits die hard. Back to the switch campaigning. There is an old saying which is very true-- things are not as bad as what they appear. And that goes especially well for GSK with Brexit.

I am selling nearly all the real estate as a man with cancer cannot properly take care of. I always felt that if you cannot properly take care of property, you need to sell it.

Today, with Brexit fallout, I sold 500 of AT&T at 41.84 and with the proceeds went ahead and bought 520 shares of GSK at 40.02. I first put in an order at 39.84 for a 2 dollar spread, but GSK quickly climbed to over 40. And I was not about to wait the day wondering if bought. So I upped the buy at 40.02.

This is classic switch campaign. In that I switch back and forth, increasing number of shares owned.

GSK is somewhat insulated from Brexit, in that this large pharmaceutical is international, not so much localized to Britain.

In all my years of trading in AT&T and SBC before, I have never seen a price action like this before, wherein a few days it climbs from 39 up to above 43

Having experienced this robustness, this invigorated AT&T, and knowing the ex dividend date is 6 July or thereabouts (never sure when it is), I decided that T would be vigorous up to 6 July, but cannot count on GSK vigorous to 6 July due to Brexit.

So, today I sold 500 GSK at 43.32 and bought 500 T at 43.19 for a gain of a small amount of cash. I made no gain in extra shares, for there was not enough cash to buy 10 more shares of T.

What drove me to switch today is the vigor of AT&T and its upcoming ex dividend. Can it remain as vigorous after ex?
