Does BMY look better in your perspective? Seems to have a pretty steady growth and pays out a 4% dividend. Am I on the right track (in your opinion)?
I am trying to think of drug companies that you see everywhere and that is why I hit on GSK (coupled with the current dividend and growth over the last three years it looked okay).
Teach me Zedi master... I need to see dividend checks like yours in the future.
If I am on the right track, I'll look into tech, real estate (CIM a spinoff of NLY?), and the rest of the other segments.
Thanks!

Bristol Meyers is a good company -- and has a better 5 year chart that GSK... and a similar dividend.
By the way -- I don't want to pick or "dis" anyones picks -- but you're doing what I want people to do --- THINK about these stocks - compare them - do a little reading - and then make up your mind what fits for you. We'll never pick 10 stocks that all go straight up and pay huge dividends... In our dreams right? But yes -- you're on the right track because you're doing your homework. We never want to gloss over this important part. It's educational - you learn a little every time - and that's part of the fun. Remember - you're choosing a partner - and you're depending on that partner to provide for you now and in the future...

CIM (Chimera) is similar to NLY (Annaly) but has a horrible chart - has never recovered from '08 and while the percentage of dividend is high -- it really doesn't have much else going for it.
A 5 year chart reveals that you've lost 80% of your money in CIM and only 2% in NLY -- the 13% dividend makes up for the 2% capital loss over that time but it won't cover up CIM's 80% loss!
