Dannie --

The problem becomes - for INVESTING 102 - which is all about NEWBIE investors... trying to pick a growth stock is far far harder to do than to pick great (best of breed) names that pay real decent dividends in good times and bad.

The entire thread has been about getting people to BEGIN to invest -- see some success... and to CONTINUE to invest.

Most people only need 10 different stocks in their accounts -- probably 20 maximum... and there's a ton of great names with great dividends that they need to own before investing for "growth". Because they can get growth AND a solid dividend giving them serious total returns.
