In an unusual twist, Boeing (BA) is stepping up criticism of the NTSB's characterization of battery-fire dangers aboard the 787. Last month NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said the incidents with the 787's lithium-ion batteries posed "unprecedented" safety concerns, ending in a so-called thermal runaway. But for the second day in a row, a high-ranking BA executive disputed the NTSB's description, saying it didn't fit the aircraft builder's view or industry-wide definitions of a thermal runaway, which entails "extensive heat and an uncontrolled fire of the battery that basically consumes the entire battery."

no fire on a bbq either. Unless you let your fat drip.

Hey thomas long time. BA north of 86--gotta like that.
Yeah TLT and other bonds will probably get mooshed. I plan to feather into them slowly. Of course if the whole party gets ruined then the stocks get mooshed. Probably a good idea for a retiree to have couple of years of money in TLT for insurance.

You don't need fire to get a charred box--just heat.
We are writing these comments in an article by a guy that wants to retire in 20 years. In this situation good performance is beating the market. I understand that there are different portfolios for different situations. Here dividend stocks are being touted for a young investor. In another article I am currently commenting on, the author is convinced dividend stocks are better than an annuity. The dividend zealots think dividend stocks have better performance for ALL situations.
You argued that there are DG investors beating the market and I provided an explanation as to why that may be. It was an extremely straight-forward response.
I didn't know about the electrolytes but I do know that if I was a CEO at a failing company, I would raise the dividend and that would save the company. I would never under-estimate the power of dividends.
If you had a hundred investors all buying equities, one might expect about half of them to "beat the market" by pure dumb luck. (I would further expect about half of the remaining to think that they beat the market even though they didn't.) These are the people that are going to come out and say hey invest like me and you will beat the market.

I on the other I hand pay little attention to the tone of the discussion. My comment is related to the "goodness" of dividends. WB wsas arguing that he could make a lot better use of the money by investing it than if he gave it away. You disagree with him because you have been hanging around with the dividend zealots--not because you have absorbed a great deal of knowledge from WB.
WB disagrees with all of you people--most likely because you are wrong.

All these people that could educate WB if only he could see them way down to where they are. If only he was smart enough to know who to listen to. WB is a 99.99+ percentile business mind, you are not (otherwise you would not be here), every company in the world has 99+ percentile business mind running them. They know how to make money with money.
You can go ahead and play smart but the dude was trying to explain it to a bunch of dummies and of course the simplified version of the story is simplified.
Dividends are transfering the money from the business savy to the average with a double taxation in the process. Maybe the average will help themselves by reinvesting back into the company that is now not in as good of a position to do business.
"It amazes me that some folks do not even bother reading the article " I was commenting on a comment that you made regarding another comment. In that context you would not be refering to the article.
