perc, about jawz picks.
Because it's more up my alley of investments, I have to comment on his picks.
Pull up a 4 year chart (Jan 01 - Dec 04) and you can be the judge on whether you like what you see with some of these picks.
I only looked at 5 of his picks. To be honest, after looking at them I didn't want to look at the others..lol
NFI had a roller coaster 04 (Six Flags coaster drop)
NAT went from ~25 in Jan 01 and trickled down for 3 years to 15 by Dec of 03.
VLCCF - same Jan 01 to December 03 poor performer.
OMS - Cedar Pointe 4 year coaster ride.
LUM - no words necessary.
A good yield is important for some Dow and S&P plays, but the lure of the high yield will get you the stomach ulcers and volitile returns which no dividend can sweeten.
Take a look at the 4 year charts for HAR, WFMI, BSC, EBAY and ASD and see if these might be better plays to safely earn sweet returns. No ulcers required, only happy portfolios. Remember Jan 01 through March of 03 was a bear market. These not only got you through, but made you money.
If you like dividends, stick to BAC & RAI, as the pps stays far more stable than any of the above.
I mention this just so if a windfall comes upon some or many of us, the type of plays you might want to be looking at might come from some of the ones I just mentioned. If you have a lot of Pepsid, then his might suit you better. : )
Happy evening to everyone!!
