Roche pays dividend

Roche (ROG) paid a dividend of CHF 4.60 per certificate today.

Evaluating Roche GS

If it weren't for the high fees charged by Swiss brokers, plus taxes, I would have sold ROG at the sell signal (at CHF 219.20 on 9 July) and bought them back at the buy signal (at CHF 213.00 on 31 July). For example, Swissquote currently charges a commission from CHF 9 to CHF 250 each for purchase and sale, depending on the amount of the transaction. Their current commission schedule is shown on the left (click to enlarge). On top of this come 0.075% federal tax and a stock market fee of CHF 0.10 per CHF 1000 transaction value.

Doing the exact calculation now, I see that a sale and repurchase would still have been worth my while, giving me a net profit of 0.7%

Evaluating Roche GS

The stochastic trend reamains positive. Hopefully, the price will remain above the current trendline from this point forward.

For the time being, I keep my limit sell order at CHF 235.00

It is too early to draw a trendline to establish a stop limit, I think. On the whole, I expect a repeat of the short bull run in March.

If Roche GS (ROG) closes above CHF 214.50 today I will buy it on the Swiss exchange on Monday morning. Perhaps I may buy already today towards the close if it looks like it will close above CHF 214.50. The stochastic curve confirms the buy signal.
