Thanx Luger; The jerk turned me off when he said "Quality"...instead of
Liquidity..

My looking at them has nothing to do with "quality" or lack of it,
I'm a Strategist, and not a FA person..the Strategist looks
at how the dynamics in the market work..
Those dynamics expose an overall trend, ( at times ) that can be
exploited..right now the signals are a bit mixed..
Mixed signals are not unusual, but not a time to get real bullish
or bearish. ( it's scalping time for now ) with short term signals
and fast trades.
It's as a Strategist, the #1 thingy is risk Control,
Like I see ( from time to time ) how to leverage
dividends and reduce risk at the same time.
IE my play on RJR has nothing to do with her quality
I just found a way to do 0 risk on her down to a price
below $10..while at the same time leverage the dividend
on her 10.4% yield to a whopping 40.9% yield..
but making money off any appreciation in value
is not in taht bag, the 40.9% per yr is not
dependent on the stock going up.
In other words it's a 72% reduction in risk,
to the holding of the stock, against a max gain of
40.9% PER YEAR..
There are ways that gain won't work out, but
I can unwind the whole thing fairly safely if that
happens. Them FA boys just don't have a rat trap
type brain , but for some reason I do..
