Universal Corporation (UVV)

UVV stock made good progress off the March 2009 low, easily surpassing the down trend off its March 2008 high (red line) and the November 2008 trading high (green line). The stock subsequently broke the up trend off the March 2009 low, quickly reset to a down trend, reversed itself again and presently appears to be attempting reset its primary trend to down--though it is in the time and distance discipline zone. The straight blue line in the lower section of the chart is the lower boundary of an up trend dating from 1975. The wiggly blue line is on balance volume. The High Yield Portfolio currently owns a full position in UVV. Its current Buy Price is $29; the Portfolio would Sell half of its position at $81.
