    And you could pay attention, and sell if the future didn't look good for the company. You could also dividend reinvest in the company, or invest the dividends elsewhere. Your return would certainly be better.
    When times are rough, like now, for the most part I hold the dividend payers, and sell those that don't. The ones bought for fast growth are usually not growing and the more stolid ones lose less, and they pay the dividend while you wait for better times.

    This analysis is further proof, if any were needed, of the wisdom of buying solid companies and planning to hold them for a long time. A refinement of the technique would have been to assume all stocks had DRIPS plans, and you opted for them, which would have been the best pre-retirement strategy.

    Mind you, not all of the DJIA stocks meet my personal quality criteria, so I would have been more selective. The same holds true today, for example GM. And there are other higher-quality stocks which are not on the DJIA list. Quality is the issue, and dividends are part of the definition of quality.

    430% for 10years. Let's see isn't that 4% a year? What happens if you have reinvested your dividends thru a DRIP? If you had only selection critieria for picking a stock, companies that increase dividends over a long period of time (10 years or more). Google Dividend Aristocrats. Reply

    Your analysis is worth noting. However, buying this new list near the bottom of the market will surely produce significant gains over the next ten years without any trading. Reply

    Its funny to see some of those names up there. Its amazing how quick things change. Eastman Kodak for example used to be an icon but is now struggling. Reply

    Interesting analysis. You might also reference one of Jeremy Siegel's research papers where he found out that buying the orginial 500 stocks of the S&P 500 back in 1957 and then doing absolutely nothing for 50 years would have also outperformed the S&P 500 index by 1 percentage point! Reply

    Dow 30 Price Targets - Too Much Optimism? [view article]
    It is hard to believe how beaten up some of these names have become. But I suspect earnings will be horrible for several quarters. Reply

    Could not agree more. Too small sample size to be statistically representative. Reply

    Who could like the Democrats or the Republicans but I come here for money stuff not politics. And bTW this guy Phil is well known as a scamer. He lies about who and what he does. A fake who you should know is a failure. Run like hell from whatever he says. Reply

    By the way Al and C, last year we ran a "Free Picks" portfolio where every single trade was published in the main post before the markets even opened. That portfolio gained 350% and you can go over each and every one of those trades (there's even a review when we closed it) and verify those without even being a member.

    Wow such anger from contender and Al... I'm not going to sit here and defend myself and every single trade we make in the member portfolios ($10KP, $25KP, DTP) is printed in chat BEFORE the trade is made. That has been our system for over a year. Nobody claims to make 300% a month so if you are going to attempt to disparage someone elses work perhaps you should "get real" - whatever your problem is with me, you can resolve it simply by just not reading what I write. If it's not helpful to you, why waste your time - surely you don't have that much of it???


    I'd personally rather spend mine answering legitimate questions like Blue Dogs.

    On BAC - We already had the 2010 $35s back on 4/14 and we've been scaling into it over time following the gameplan from this article: www.philstockworld.com.../

    We thought the financials were cheap then and we really think they are cheap now but it is key to take a long position, sell calls against it and roll the position to a lower strike as it falls, selling more calls along the way. This helps mitigate some, but not all of the losses and BAC is currently down 50% on us despite the scaling in but we are now in the 2010 $25 calls for a net of about $6.

    The banks have been a real disaster and the financials make up close to 20% of our Long-Term Portfolio, which got killed the past two days.

    As Al points out, these are just my trades and I'm not a financial advisor and you should ALWAYS consult a financial advisor before making any trade.

    If I were still sitting on the BAC 2010 $35s at $1.20 I would be looking just to get even and I would roll the calls to the Jan '09 $22.50s at $3.10 (+$1.90) and sell 1/2 covers of the current $22.50s for $1.15 with a plan on rolling those to a full cover of the Aug $25s, which now sell for $1.08 so my expectation is to get $1.15 premium on 1/2 of my calls (.77) plus hopefully another $1 for the $25s so that's $1.77 of my $1.90 roll paid for.

    My game plan going forward would be to get at least $1 of premium per month selling calls and if I do that for Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec that's $4 per contract made up plus whatever residual value I have left in the Jan position. Realistically, I'd probably double up the position on the roll as that way I only need to sell $2.50 worth of calls and retain my $3 value to get even, which is a much more obtainable goal.

    Phil has a staff to handle the details and keep his portfolio straight and constantly monitored. With $100M a month coming in from the wannabes he can well afford the best of these services. Us Shmucks out here don't have that luxury. We have to run our own spreadsheets or die trying. Reply
