Lance ---- There's a term for this! It's called "Paralysis by Analysis".


LOL




Here's how I do it. I owned 12,000 KMP --- I had 3MM in cash --- I noticed that KMP was going ex dividend. It pays 1.36 a quarter. So I bought 10,000 more shares.


All of that took 30 seconds of thought. LOL


I'll pick up the dividend.... wait for the shares to be "positive" - even by a nickel... and I'll sell 5,000.... wait a little longer and sell another 5,000. In the meantime if they sit "lower" -- I'll just hold - because in another 90 days I'll get another 1.36 a share.
