Fred,
You sound a lot like me.
I bought LOW, just the other day. I have owned PG for about two years, and have a two bagger. It's been ugly the past couple of days, however. If you're looking at a good entry point on PG, I would think that this is it. I own a little D, the dividend is just shy of 7%, but the share price has been pretty near flat for a while. I think that as soon as deregulation is complete, D will be one of the winners.
I have a fair amount of MAQRX, Merrill Lynch Growth "A", which is heavily invested in the energy sector, and is therefore down about 10% +/- this year so far, so I feel I am sufficiently invested in the oil sector.
The tech stocks have been good to me this year. LU and LHSPF specifically, but others have helped increase my investment capital as well.
Good luck, and always remember, try to have fun, Phil |
