Procter & Gamble - A Dividend Stock To Hold Forever [View article]
W.B.:
I haven't experienced a bear market as an educated investor, so even though I am anxious about the prospects of it happening, I'm also curious to see how I handle it. I'm a little excited, too, because I've been squirreling away a decent amount of cash.

You know, I thought that very thing even as I wrote it, but I couldn't think of a better, more concise way to say it. I trusted my readers to know what I meant, and I know you knew what I meant, too.
I didn't notice that about PG's estimated earnings, so thanks for supplying that info.

Thanks, Cheesecake, for your kind words. I never try to pass myself off as an expert, but if my trials and errors (and occasional successes, I hope) can help others, I'm glad about that.

I like your definition of short more than the "real" definition.
I know there is money to be made going short. If there wasn't, nobody would do it. But it's kind of like betting against the shooter in craps. Sure, if the dice roll a certain way it can be profitable, but it's a bummer for the whole table when some yahoo is rooting against the shooter!

<<But thru every one PG has continued to make its expected payments to me, and has been far more consistent giving me a raise every year than any of my employers.>>

You're preaching to the choir!
One thing that's nice is that most major brokerages do most of the heavy lifting now. They let investors drip, they make the transactions, they don't charge for the service (even for partial shares) and now they're even bound by law to figure out the cost basis.
So no, it's not perfect. But I'm perfectly happy with the way things have gone as a dripper so far.

Can't argue with that ... as long as one has $1,000 lying around ready to be invested.

As I like to say on the golf course: Luck is better than skill.
Wait a second ... on the golf course, I have precious little of both!!!!
