Well -- I know we still all thank you for starting this thread! It's been very gratifying.

To those that are still on the fence -- or hear the TV talking heads proclaim "the market is high and now is not the time to buy" --- or --- the predictors of giant market falls. I'll ask you to do this simple mental exercise:

Go back to the charts - 5 year - 10 year - and look at the line from left to right and then (other than the gigantic '08/'09 dip) ask yourself when was the "right time" to have waited to get in?

Obviously anyone that bought in the big dipper.... got a nice reward - but for most all the stocks that we'd pick using the info in this thread -- they're all higher NOW than they were before the big dipper... so if you bought in '07 at the very peak - you'd still be ahead right now. Now to top that off, you'd also have collected 5 years worth of DIVIDENDS...

This is a game that can't be played from the sidelines.
