"The key for me is/was to avoid the big position blow ups and still is" Uh, yeah, CLMT cost me $1572 in income. :( The CPLP cut was expected, and only on 200 shares. Same with AMLP today.
Ending the month only down $560 from the previous month in income doesn't look so bad. I haven't sold any CLMT. Like KMI, if I don't have to sell to make the goal, I am not selling, but will wait and let it play out.
Unless someone can tell me now how it will work out. :)
I have no idea how to make a chart for where I am, but I know that from Jan. 1, 2010, I would need to add $58.40 of income a month, each month, to hit 10% in 10 years. From here out I need $39.81.
Next month should look better, but I have spent myself down to $2,917 in cash.
Cash would make it easier to manage any cuts, but it is hard to turn down what looks good to me.
Unless I stay away from the computer, SOHO, and CCP below $26 both look good to me. CCP now has about 70% of their debt switched to fixed rate at good rates. Their comps are now including interest expense, as compared to what they carved out of VTR to comp against. Maybe I am missing something. |
