We have 10,000 people a day turning 65 and retiring. Where else are they keeping the bucks except in CD's and Bonds? Low rates will be around for some time.

OFcourse one needs to look at the balance sheet and see where the other 60% of earnings are going-cash, R&D, etc. Once I selected the stocks then I look at deployment of the stocks into the ten sectors of the S&P 500. I don't want to be lopsided and try to distribute among the sectors. My goal isn't how much did the dividend increase but rather how much did my total return after expenses and taxes increase.

The price of oil has too many players to try to figure out how much it will be from day to day; state to state; country to country. I heard they are investigating price fixing on gasoline. Probably should ask OPEC first. (G) My guess is that Memorial Day is causing the increase in gas prices. The Obama Recession is holding the prices down.
