Thanks

markets are taking a beating today

lol what? S&P is down 6 freaking points.

I was just really surprised that there was this much action with the dreaded "D" and a RS coming.

OK~ Not sure why you are saying this?

This is the stock 'idea' club, or is it?

Dude, I was kidding. You're my bro!!

alright, here's what i'm talking about: Mike RDS.A also has a dividend, infact the dividend is 4.85% at todays market price of $69.22, COPs dividend is 3.12% at todays price of 70.49. Oil producers are all pretty much down, I like all of them as I expect they will all expand with the improvement of the US economy. I'll even like BP since they are going to start paying out a dividend again, though it's not what it was. I do like the fact that COP is heavily institution owned. GSK pays a 5.33% dividend at todays price of $38.27. So, I think we're from two different perspectives, you guys seem to be into penny speculative stocks where I like big boring dividend growth stocks. PS, anyone who shorts stocks knows better than to short the ones that pay out a large dividend.

I'm a light investor, pretty conservative and dont take crazy risks. I'll admit i dont know much about options but i do know a good deal :-). I want to share a tip of a company on the rise. Micron Technology, ticker MU, they make semiconductors, and have shown steady growth analysts said the stock is valued at $17 and is tarding at $11.26 currently. Glad someone put a thread like this up... Lets hope for a Bull market everyone!

Yeah...I'm totally going to listen to someone who thinks Micron went public last year

I started off in Mortgage insurers after a few years of investing with a 'club'. I got into them whent he industry fell apart in July 2008 and did well with them. I picked the ones that took on the least amount of risk by comparison to their peers. Simply thinking that if the riskiest ones avoided bankruptcy than the better ones would as well. I moved on from them to Large caps in distressed sectors and I like that alot better. I did well with small companies, but the volatility was enough for me to get out of it, one bad news article would send investors running for the hills.

I like large cap dividend growth stocks and I try to get a good deal on them, like when BP happened I bought up more XOM since the good usually go down with the bad, but not as far.
