In checking some names this morning - that I own.... I noticed only a couple were trading in the green... One of which is Kimberly Clark (KMB). With all the excitement around Facebook etc which is "fun".... and KMB has to rank right up there in the super boring range. BUT -- Always a big BUT -- Year to date Kimberly Clark is UP 8.16% --- AND it pays 3.72% dividend!

That is how - over time - you get ahead.

Not recommending the name -- I am just using it as another example of this theory of getting paid to watch and wait - and getting growth etc out of great, best of breed names, and sleeping well at night too. Boring? Yeah - pretty much... but FUN too when you're making money on your money.
