After you receive this Alert, the Pro Portfolio will buy 65 shares of Ciena  (CIEN)  at or near $401. Following the trade, those 65 CIEN shares will account for 0.5% of the Portfolio’s assets.

We are seeing more than expected complications with the expected position in New Gold  (NGD)  shares as part of our EPS Diplomats reconstitution. The last thing we want is to make for a more difficult process or have some members unable to participate in the full basket. For that reason, we are quickly swapping them out with a position in CIEN shares, which is the next down-selected candidate in the EPS Diplomats screening process.

Apologies for any inconvenience, but we’ll aim to get this trade down to capture as much exposure in the current quarter.

The Portfolio will still execute the trades as part of the EPS Diplomats model strategy, and we will post the executed prices in the comment section below once the trades have been booked.

Subscribers can also see the trade's executed price here in the Portfolio’s Holdings page. (You’ll want to click on the “+” next to the corresponding stock symbol.)
