Totally agree with you .... and that dividend being paid is what carries you over the lows... that cash just keeps going ka-ching!

Yes Sir...And You are right on not being too invested in one area..

I try to be ready to weather the downs and also keep enough liquid assets, not cash, to buy at those depressed times. I believe that as in 2008, I am not in a panic position to need to sell..Money management in personal life really helps..

I could have made a lot more money in the last few years, but I wanted to just keep the income stream going rather than swing for the fence..

Hindsight says it was the best move, and not buying dirt in the mid 2000's , turns out to be genius..

I've used this thread to get my IRA back on track with a diversified allocation -- some income, a good chunk of growth and some speculative stocks (a couple biotechs).

And I've enjoyed getting back into this and spending quality time each day researching and reading. I forgot how much I enjoy it. These damn car forums pull me away from these essentials too much sometimes.

Morning gents...

Hope all is well.

The path of things to come are playing into my Hands...

I don't like the direction things are going, and many people hurting will hurt more due to the rising costs, but Large paydays have been , and will continue to come..

And to Greg's point of not being greedy in one sector, you gotta have stay blended and not heavy in one area.

I have one fund that has risen 25% in the last few months...For me a lot of money making a lot of money, but I cannot increase my stake in that asset just for the gains...

I have a mix I am sticking to, and those higher yielding assets are just that.

Kinda like Flash and the BIO stocks, but not BIO.. But If we get greedy and shift too much over, BAD things can happen..

So while i want to be in hyperrichness.my word...I must continue a somewaht safe and prosperous path..Because i still see large swings and volatility coming, but 2011 gave us a view, and feel of what that is like..
