Investing 102

Fortune mag just had a write up about Annaly I believe last month. You have to wonder though, once everyone starts talking about it is it too late. Just thinking back to Gregs comment about "once the clerk at the store tells you about it, its too late". I have also been thinking of adding them to my portfolio though.

Same here... thats why i posted my comment.. seems they are the "buzz" (them and apple)... which kinda makes me "wonder".

Actually It has been talked about since 2008/2009..

It was a top pick back then.. So was chesapeake energy.

I have been studying for years, and a lot of what is being talked about today, was talked about then. So they are still strong, and look to stay that way.

But do not overweigh in annaly..

or anything else.

This is why its good to have some of you experienced investors chime in. Help keep us newbies from screwing ourselves.

I am a newbie compared to Greg, so I am here to just share thoughts.

But for sure, we cannot get greedy looking to double digit gains or Annaly, and just overbuy..

But in my strategy, I have in the past, looked to common themes from different sources..And they have sang the same tune for a long time now...

Not just investing , but money management, too... When several sources are all talking about certain things to do, I at least check them out.. See why they like it, or what they think will happen going forward..

Also Kiplinger's talks of Stock's fighting inflation, and not just TIPS, or Gold...

But today has been a reading day for me...There is just so much to learn..A life long journey, and I am bitten by the bug to do the best that I can..

Another one to ask Greg about that has been talked about for years..

TVA.. Tennessee valley authority.

Energy distribution. I could not look up the data, but i am throwing it out there for discussion..
