Aflac Stock (AFL) Trades For 2014 Update – July 30 2014

Aflac Stock has been in my portfolio for two years and continues to provide income and profits while at the same time a decent level of protection. I have discussed in the past the strong trading pattern that exists with Aflac Stock. This trading pattern has made profiting within Aflac Stock reasonably easy but offers a high level of protection.

The collapse in Aflac Stock today has opened up numerous trading opportunities. I discussed many of them in my morning investing strategy notes before the markets opened today.

Aflac Stock Plunge

The plunge today in Aflac Stock follows their disappointing earnings release yesterday after the markets closed. Basically the insurance industry in general continues to have difficulty 5 years after the credit crisis. Aflac Stock is not alone but they are one of the stronger insurance companies and have a track record that I find suitable for trading purposes.

The stock closed yesterday, July 29 at $63.14 and this afternoon the stock fell down to $60.53 for a decline of 4.1%. Volume is far above average for today and is dominated by sellers trying to get out of the stock.

However Aflac stock is widely held by institutions and pension funds and as such I would expect any further decline to be looked at as a buying opportunity.
