Loooking at Dividend plays
I am hoping that a lot of the price spikes from the No Tax on Dividends will wear off on a few stocks. Most of the stocks that have high dividends and are declining are declining due to fundamental reasons though. I might start to run some scans for some of the higher dividend stocks that still have some good basis for their stock price. Most of the higher dividend stocks have significant risk attached to them though, IMO anyway. One of interest today is NOR which might start an up cycle into it's next ex-date, maybe. The stock has been fairly unstable though and I would consider it a high risk trade. If any of the $5 Calls for Feb or March get much cheaper it might be worth taking some risk though, maybe. I am sure that there are a Lot of Better trades out there :^)
