I really like the way you approach stocks and investing Greg. It's easy and it produces results over the long run. Thank you for taking the time to educate all of us. If we ever meet and I hope we do as I really want to attend some of these events, dinner's on me.
Thanks

Your thanks is enough === really! I love this stuff... and I love that a few people might be better off down the road. The gift that keeps on giving.
Your philosophy is sound... you have a good grip on what to look for... and it really is pretty dang simple.
Just remember - the road winds around - it's not a drag strip... There will be periods of time you'll ask yourself what the heck? When that happens - you remember a couple thoughts.... when the stock price is lower - you're buying more shares with the dividends... So really what you'd like to see is for the stock to go down by about half - but keep paying a growing dividend - and then suddenly be worth double the year you retire.

Of course that would only be in our dreams... but you know what I'm saying.
