Starting on drug company research tonight.

Does BMY look better in your perspective? Seems to have a pretty steady growth and pays out a 4% dividend. Am I on the right track (in your opinion)?

I am trying to think of drug companies that you see everywhere and that is why I hit on GSK (coupled with the current dividend and growth over the last three years it looked okay).

Teach me Zedi master... I need to see dividend checks like yours in the future.

If I am on the right track, I'll look into tech, real estate (CIM a spinoff of NLY?), and the rest of the other segments.

Thanks!
Chris


Bristol Meyers is a good company -- and has a better 5 year chart that GSK... and a similar dividend.

By the way -- I don't want to pick or "dis" anyones picks -- but you're doing what I want people to do --- THINK about these stocks - compare them - do a little reading - and then make up your mind what fits for you. We'll never pick 10 stocks that all go straight up and pay huge dividends... In our dreams right? But yes -- you're on the right track because you're doing your homework. We never want to gloss over this important part. It's educational - you learn a little every time - and that's part of the fun. Remember - you're choosing a partner - and you're depending on that partner to provide for you now and in the future...


++++++++++++++


CIM (Chimera) is similar to NLY (Annaly) but has a horrible chart - has never recovered from '08 and while the percentage of dividend is high -- it really doesn't have much else going for it.

A 5 year chart reveals that you've lost 80% of your money in CIM and only 2% in NLY -- the 13% dividend makes up for the 2% capital loss over that time but it won't cover up CIM's 80% loss!

So true!!

Since I don't know the company I could only look at the chart etc... and I like the real estate play and the dividend.

I'm trying buddy -- I'm trying!

.... and I hope one day everybody here reaches that critical mass where they're living off their dividends. It's nice place to be.

Of course the key to that is to reach that critical mass of dividend income -- but at the same time not have your "out go" more than your income. This is most peoples mistake.. that old out flow seems to just be allowed to rise... and then we're like Greece...

Default Phillip Morse (PM)

Here's how you make money....


While "others" are waiting for all their fancy schmancy stocks to go up --- Phillip Morse (PM) is UP $2.00 today (that's 2.4% GROWTH just today) after announcing they beat earnings estimates.

I mention this because our "steady eddies" pay that nice dividend - in this case 3.86% - AND they quietly sneak up the chart... (growth). And nobody is talking about them on TV...

That's how they get that TOTAL RETURN... and that is what will really get you to the finish line.

Yeah - it's nasty old tobacco... but I'm here to make money not be some moral guiding light.

Look how Apple has taken off in recent weeks. I don't know whether to be excited or brace myself for a downfall. They're leasing more property which I believe is a good thing. I wished they would pay a diviend to go with the steady rise in price.

I'm debating on an iPhone also. I wish I was able to own more than the measely 6 shares I have now. They start paying a dividend and I might have to see if I can squeeze a couple more shares out of what little money I have.

Do as Greg says..Spread it around.

Earlier I spoke of KMP being up a dollar...well , it is up 1.30 right now !!!

I don't have as many skills....But I am working on it.

Put your money to work...The housing thing will lay on it's face for a long time..Time enough to get ready and do the house thing. they won't let it recover.

I never was Apple guy....Stupid me...
