In using IB's trading system in the past, I can confirm that it is not as straightforward as, say, Scottrade's system. But I got used to it quickly. One thing I missed in the past is support for electronic filing at tax time. Someone mentioned they used Gainskeeper for that reason. I'll investigate and report back.<br /><br />As for KO, notice the wide variation of FV estimates (S&P Capital IQ: $26.90 to Morningstar $44.50). My own FV is based on a multistage DDM analysis and the Gordon growth model analysis, with adjustments based on 3rd party estimates. With such a wide variation, I would classify my FV estimate "uncertain", in which case, I lean to the lower end. <br /><br />Apart from FV uncertainty, KO is one of those dividend growth stocks that never seem to available at a discount. Perhaps it is the stock's Dividend King status, which probably entices many buyers to buy "no matter what the valuation says". Looking at a long term price chart of KO (say 25 years), this is the kind of stock you want to own... it is up more than 600% not counting dividends. <br /><br />As far as options go, we'll see how much I'll make up. Time will tell. <br /><br />Take care and happy new year!FerdiS, DivGrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330193431527796718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-36484733956586569482016-12-30T01:30:09.492-08:002016-12-30T01:30:09.492-08:00Interesting you mentioned IB.

After reading some reviews that it could be a complicated and there was little support, I was nervous so glad they had a free trial. I don't do options just buy long so I find it fairly easy to use for that. It would be great if you could do a review on IB. I think that would be great. <br /><br />Of all the buys, the most perplexing to me is the KO buy. Your own FV is $32, yet you bought at $41? I understand you say you will make that up with options so perhaps I just don't understand that part. Been looking at CSCO myself. I have a buy price of $29 so I am waiting a bit there. Good luck FerdiS.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109778105179617546noreply@blogger.com
