      Does Buy-and-Hold Work on Major Blue Chips?
      One postscript along the selected statistics line...why does one company's chart start in 2000 and another in 1998?

      When one selects the Blue Chips and the time period they want to prove a pre-determined point, it is hardly a surprise that the point is "proven". (BTW, since when is 7+years considered "long-term"?...

      An analysis of all the Blue Chips as a group, over at least 15- 20 years, which includes dividends might be more revealing of the truth than a selective analysis that starts at an overheated market peak.

      Safety in Dividends?
      1.Did you include the dividend's contribution to total return when figuring out whether a stock was "up" or not for the year?

      2.Could be a spurious correlation, in that dividend paying stocks are dominated by a currently out of favor sector-financials.

      Buffalo Wild Wings: Finger Lickin' Good
      Hi User 190144!

      I was aware of the stock split. When one shows a chart, all the data should be split-adjusted...so, IMHO, the chart is not "correct"...... is "apples and oranges".

      You may want to check your source on the BWLD stock price chart. According to what I see on other sources ( Big Charts, etc. ), BWLD's 52 week high is 47.75, not the over $80 price shown on your chart.

      Fixing Pfizer
      ".... "I took 500 mg pills of niacin daily for a few weeks in my 20s over 30 years ago and it definitely made (me) red, hot and tingly. Gave it to my brother as he did not believe me. Half-hour later he had the same issues."...

      Just a bit of an update regarding this issue...you can now get flush-free, timed-release niacin, which avoids this issue for most. I was put on Lipitor some years ago, which helped drive my genetically-high LDL down to the 190 range from the 290 range. Upon my older brother's advice, I started taking a 500 mg flush-free niacin capsule, plus a 1000 mg fish oil concentrate gel cap ( fatty acids ) every day ( in addition to continuing Lipitor ). My LDL has reached it's lowest level ever..in the 160 range.

      Calling It Quits on Gold, Platinum - It's Time to Go Financials!
      Would love to find some of the 6% muni's you mentioned.....assume they are not rated A's or above, since the best I've found in my state ( SC ) are in the 4.5% range. Net/Net: If you know of a source for SC 5.5%+ muni's rated A or better, please point me in the right direction!

      Stocks vs. Bonds: A Surprising Result
      The last time I looked, a 10.5% return rate was 25% greater than 8.4%...a tremendous difference when compounded over a lifetime.
