I NEVER use anyone else's rankings - or ideas. I'll use their ideas only to use to take a look at the idea. THEN I make my own decisions. I make my decisions based on that total return - my guts - the dividend... whether or not I KNOW the company and what they do... and whether or not I like the company and the businesses they're in. I don't smoke - I don't drink - that does not affect my decision... I went to Europe == I've been to Asia... they smoke and drink like mad! I thanked them for paying for my trip.

Good explanation.




They're not "measly" --- they're a beginning. You pooped your diapers before you learned to pull your pants down. You skinned your knees learning to ride a bike... you babbled before you spoke... YOU STARTED... and that makes you a winner in my book!
