Mistake/Correction/Retraction

I made a mistake with the numbers in my video from Friday by virtue of ANZBY being the first ticker I input into the chart.

Thank you to reader HalM for catching this and bringing to my attention.

The chart here captures the issue. For some reason that probably has to do with a change of ticker symbol YahooCharts only goes up to October 10, you can see the cursor is all the way over and it says October 10.

Not assuming Yahoo would not go all the way through to the current date I never checked. Apologies for the mistake, it just never occurred to me.

ANZBY is up about 5% YTD plus it paid a $2.65 dividend in July and will pay another $3.36 on December 31.

My Norway stock is up about 15% YTD plus a 5.7% (based on the opening print of the year) dividend paid in June.

My Brazil stock is up 120% and the dividend was quite small.

Lastly the Canadian stock is up about 12% plus 3.5% (based on the opening print for the year) in dividends.

FWIW on October 10, the date apparently captured on the chart I was looking at, the S&P 500 closed at 1562 which made it up 10.1% for the year.

Again apologies for the mistake you can decide for yourself what to make of it, all I can do is point it out upon finding out.
