Paul: I hope you were just trying to make a point with your 4 share a week example. Obviously commissions would kill you, and you wouldn't get that full $300 yearly dividend since you would not have the whole 200 shares at each ex dividend date. Also, you cannot realistically just assume a double in three years on a big cap stock like GE. All of that said, I agree with your position that buying solid dividend paying stocks will almost always have better long term results than speculating in penny stocks. I would add that selling out of the money covered calls could greatly increase the total return on a stock like GE. And, if you intend to hold the stock long term, I would use a dividend reinvestment program.
