>>Pretty sad, eh? << its not a matter of choice.

Stocks are purchased with the idea of appreciation.

The other possible choice is covered call writing.

Call premiums have all but disappeared. Mr. appreciation went on vacation with Mr. Bush to Texas, and missed the flight back.

So what do you think is going to pay the rent, and buy the horse and mule feed?

I suppose I could find a well off divorcee, that would like a stove up cowboy as a new piece of furniture....but I never was fond of women that talked back, because they always outsmarted me.
