LXP Long Swing Trade on SPY Relative StrengthThis trade will need to rely on SPY to get it's act together. Considering the way it's been able to hold and grow YTD when SPY finds it's support eventually and lifts again this would be a long swing for maybe 1 to 3 weeks. If it doesn't react to positive SPY changes don't take the trade because it lost it's relative strength.

LXP buy at trendline - stacked probabilitesThe main idea behind this is to use all probabilities we can to get a likely win:
- The uptrend is apparent
- There has been a pullback
- The pullback is slowing and at the trendline
We then aim for a decent risk to reward of 3, or above 2 if 3 seems over ambitious. The trade is set-and-forget, so we place the trade with a profit target ad then don't touch it unless completely necessary.
Lexington Property Trust a defensive growth stock for OctoberLXP blew away analyst expectations on its last earnings report, beating by 200%. It got a nice pop after earnings, then collapsed when it announced a $10 million share offering. It started to recover after it announced what it was doing with the money raised from investors: purchasing new properties to accelerate its growth. If LXP is as good a steward of the new properties as it has been so far, I'm not worried about the share offering; it should propel the company's expansion rather than dilute my shares. LXP has a 9.5/10 Equity StarMine Summary Score and is rated "undervalued" by the fundamental analysts at S&P Capital IQ.
Amidst the coming "earnings recession" this quarter, real estate is expected to be one of the few sectors that outperform. The sector as a whole is overbought, but LXP is a better value than most real estate stocks, having dipped to mid-RSI channel ahead of its ex-dividend date tomorrow. LXP pays a dividend of 10 cents per share, down from 18 cents per share last fiscal year. (I actually like a lower dividend, because it gives the company more capital to reinvest.) Unlike many dividend stocks, which take a big hit after the ex-dividend date, LXP's price usually takes its hit before the dividend and then recovers after. In my opinion this is a pretty good bet to buy ahead of the dividend and hold as value/growth stock for October.
LXP decline through 2018, last buyers at $7 - Auction TheorySaw a seeking alpha article touting LXP and had a look because it's an attractive, covered dividend.
However, it has declining assets that it's taken some nasty write downs on in the past, so auction is reevaluating LXP lower.
But how low?
Last aggressive initiation large buyers stepped in near $7.
I wouldn't touch it until it's near the Pink buy levels near $7 on thinning volume profile.
If the buyer doesn't re-show up to the party, exit immediately.
If the buyer does show up and we get strong rejection V bottom, it's a hold to reevaluate at 9.20.
