Investing 102

[GregWeld]

Just a reminder for all you investors out there..... As the share price falls - the dividend percentage paid rises.

Don't overlook the opportunity to get higher returns when this stuff all goes on sale.

This is a market that is throwing everything to the wolves. But never forget what a market is. For every seller running with their tail between their legs - there's someone on the other side of that trade putting up real cash to buy. Those 'sold' shares are not just sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting for someone to walk by. They only change hands when someone buys.

Stocks like Exxon Mobile (XOM) are now paying 3.69%... and there's many out there paying 10% just due to the share price decline. Stocks like Facebook (FB) are on sale... Apple (AAPL) is off 21%... their sales are tremendous and that price has them paying a 2.2% dividend yield.

I'm not saying you rush in and spend every nickel you have.... I'm saying you should have your radar up and you should be picking away - either averaging down a little here and there - or picking up solid top notch companies at "reasonable" prices. In other words - if you where buying Apple at $130... why would you be afraid to buy some more at $94? I'll tell you why - because like everyone else - you only want to buy HIGH. Get your heads on right and start to look at the market as being opportunistic. Take your best shots when they're dealt. You'd love it if FAST put their EFI unit on sale 30 or 40% off... You wouldn't be afraid to buy then would you. 'Nuff said.
