Mass don't know much about most of your wish list. But PSEC is meh. Bad management IMHO. Main is def better and has special divs. While PSEC just cut theirs. I own it but i have little faith in it.
Dude dont sell mmm it's amazing. GEis dead money. It's div is frozen into next year. No price appreciation nor increased divs forthcoming. HON is a great stock too
I'm looking at PBH. They are like CHD with OTC drugs. They buy brandsand turn em around.
Oh csco is a buy IMHO. Im long there. IoT is what's up with them
So far MSFT and V are my biggest growth stars at about 50% each. Great timing on those purchases. I think both are future dividend aristocrats.
Well OPEC is over. They can't really maintain a quote anymore. So it's a free for all. Add in frackers and its nuts.
It's funny about KMI. There's still tons of bulls on SA. Sad as they can't let it go. Kinder isn't God after all. Get over it.
BTW I'm looking into V. I'm going to sell 2/3 of PG and either get NYCB or V. I want more growth than PG can offer me. As its a bond with a heart beat. Heck T is a higher yields and has similar growth/security
KMI cut it's dividend 75% yesterday.
Buy gold cause the world might be ending and stuff.
HISTORICAL stock charts seem to show that it took more than 25 years for the market to recover from the 1929 crash — a dismal statistic that has been brought to investors’ attention many times in the current downturn.
But a careful analysis of the record shows that the picture is more complex and, ultimately, far less daunting: An investor who invested a lump sum in the average stock at the market’s 1929 high would have been back to a break-even by late 1936 — less than four and a half years after the mid-1932 market low.
Anyone here do day trading/futures?
My little brother just started. Making 0-500 a week after commissions at the moment. Any advice Sherdog?
We are in Aus so he's staying up till 2 or 3am to trade, since it's all based in America. I can't do the same with my work, but I'm quite interested for when I start uni next year and won't need to worry about staying up late.
I prefer lead so I can make bullets. Zombiepocalypse!
Anyone plan on picking up some VW anytime soon?

The plunge in oil has my portfolio down by the tune of about $35k and change.
Super sad times for Brampton_Boy.
I'm just sitting on it and hoping that they will recover in the next couple of years.
steel to gold, gold to steel, and repeat.

Sell getting in early is key. Wish I bought MO just 3 years ago. My YOC would be like 6% or so. I'm sure your YOC is very nice in msft and V.
I hope sbux will be like that for me. CHD as well. Hope to see some amazing g growth over the next decade.
BTW Canadians. Bombradier. They pooped the bed with their jet. But the company looks good outside of that. It might be a good value. Or a value trap I dunno. But looks interesting. Esp it's rail section. And smaller jets too
I have been thinking about something lately.
Does anyone know of any mutual funds that have not made money over a 10-15 year period? I haven't seen any yet.
Take these funds, for example.

https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundId=5484&FundIntExt=INT
Say you won the lottery and put $50 million in both. Based on history, is there any chance you would lose money after 10 - 15 years?
I bought a Africa gold mining company last year at $4.40 when gold was $14xx, it's now at $3 when gold price is $13xx. But meh, I'm not worried, as long as the company doesn't go bankrupt, gold price will increase sooner or later and so will the company PPS.
So my suggestion is not jumping into precious metals now. Wait til there are signs of economy weakening. Everyone thought 2013 was the year but it went record high. It's mid of 2014 and still it barely shows signs of slowing. Don't waste time having $$ stuck in precious metals now. Catch it while it's running up even if it's slightly more expensive to buy by that time.
it took several months from the bp spill for their stock to hit bottom. There is still a long way for VW to fall. I was mighty tempted though.
MSFT YOC 3.88% (42% increase to current yield)
V YOC 1.04% (44% increase)
CHD YOC 2.06% (27% increase)
O, JNJ and some others have massive increases of YOC. Makes me feel good. Timing for long term holdings makes a difference. Timing for just trading is not my jam.
If I wanted to learn about stocks and become knowledgeable and make money off em how would I go about learning. Also do college business degrees teach you alot about it?

Precious metals and futures are not for me.
It's a low beta portfolio focused on slow growth with that much in utilities and staples. Depends on the annual cost of the mutual fund. What's the expense ratio?
And why not just buy PEP, MMM and JNJ yourself? You get a staple, a healthcare and an industrial right off the bat. Instant diversification.
23% growth over 3 years isn't bad, and I hate managing my portfolio when it comes to investing. The process of trading I find tedious. I rather pick something with decent returns then forget about it for a year or two. I'm the buy and hold kind of guy.Depends on your asset allocation, but no dice imo.
If you want something like this, think about a US ETF. Much lower fees and buying the market really does minimize risk as much as anything.
About 8 months ago, I sold all my equities (except BRK.B) and bought the Vanguard S&P500 ETF.
I have converted to passive > active in US market.
Stupid cheap oil is buggering up my business!!!!!
Even the banks are down in Canada, like double digits.
oh well, its all about the long term.
im just wondering how much have you guys profited after your losses to this date

The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF looks decent, I will look into it for sure. How volatile is it? I'm not the most adventurous when it comes to taking risks.

Sold GE today. Had a strike price of $25.50 and it hit.
Now what to do with the money...
Man with the rate hike coming almost for certain. I thought the market wouldbe ggettingccrushed. People would get out of high div stocks and go to bonds. Whatis tgoing on? alsoiI hate my phone
If only thy was why. My Sharp phone gets crunky all thetime. Like just now.You should hate your fat fingers for not being able to type anything properly
I don't think the rate hike will totally affect div holders. Temporarily? Sure. Permanent? Not likely.
Since I started really tracking in Q3 last year I am up $3700 in an acct that started with $40k. All but one investment has made me money.
