I'm real dumb when it comes to investing. But what I look at is div growth. I also don't believe in putting all your eggs in one basket. My strategy has worked well. Say you have $10,000 to invest. Its much better to invest $1.000 in ten stocks than the whole ten grand in one.
Last I knew, Div's were based on company profitability, NOT on stock price. Many of the financials were hit hard with the subprime mess. People who buy and sell on fear make me rich. Lotsa bargains out there right now.
