Thanks for the thread! I just retired and thought I may play the market as a job..haha It's eaten my lunch for the past 7 months! From what I have read here, it seems like we have all worked very hard and need a traditional something to do.... I also need some more income to put two more kids through college. I am not sure the market is the job of my future. I enjoyed it as an adjunct to my teaching position but now find myself sleepless over the outcomes of my stock picking. I have been reading, learning new software (TC2000), and going to a few user groups I recently found. As for some successful things to do with your money, there do seem to be a few positions that have been fruitful for the long term. I bought EENC (10/27/03) because of the dividend. It still seems to be a keeper. HYB (New American High Inc Fd) seems to be pretty steady and also has a very good dividend. I think it's a buy right now according to my tea leaves. And I also purchased some preferred stock RBS_m Royal Bank of Scotland M pays a 6% dividend. I try to maintain two portfolios, one for trading and one for dividend income. Again thanks for the thread! Nick
