Thanks for checking out my thought process Greg. That's ultimately what I'm trying to learn as well. I'm not in this to get rich quick. I just want to hopefully make sound choices and know why they are sound.

Where can you find the total return numbers at on Google Finance or is it listed elsewhere? I used them for checking the numbers but didn't see a total return listed. I simply got my numbers by clicking on ten year and then looking at the dollar value and percentage in green, hopefully, listed next to the date range.

How important do you think having a history is in your opinion? Take Dr Pepper/Snapple for instance. It's only been around for 3 years but has shown good gains. Would lack of a history be something you'd see as a reason to maybe reconsider a particular stock? I'm guessing this requires more research into maybe how the company is structured and its business model or goals before anything more than a WAG can be given.

Thanks
