This market has just been fantastic ---- and every time I look at some name to check relative performance -- I'm blown away.


Coke (KO) a certain "steady eddy" -- is UP 17% Year to date...


Altria -- (MO) -- is up 18%


Con Ed -- (ED) -- is up 11%


I'm just tossing these out there because they're the "BORING" low paying dividend names we've talked about many times. Folks! Hello! That is some amazing capital growth given we're only 5 months into the year!


Something else I've tried to get folks to understand - or at least be aware of -- is that let's say we have a "healthy" pullback... 10% or so.... if we do? We're still going to be UP. Gotta love that kind of market.
