Ordinarily I wouldn't help anyone with picks like this -- but because you're new -- I wanted to give you some things to think about.

There is a function in Google Finance charts where you can compare charts and it can be eyeopening!
My point is -- that just to pick A single name and hope that what you think about it is spot on -- can be deadly. Poke around a bit - compare and make sure that what YOU think, is the same thing the "MARKET" thinks. I've found that I'm often wrong. The above being a perfect example!

Thanks I do really appreciate the input.
Im going to go back and look at my picks again, and then see what their total returns and payout are as well as compare their graphs. I started using my google finance but havent really compared stocks side by side like that.
I think I did definitely get caught up in focusing too much on the dividend and the cost of the stock and if the chart was up overall the past 5-10+ years
back to my excel sheel
