I used the old, knowing stocks I own, gut, aiming for high yield, with a sprinkling of 8% to 10% growers, diworsification method. Seriously, I wanted to get dividends started coming in. The market refused to pull back. Capital gains not the bottom line, but who wants to buy everything at the top? Made a list of possibilities and tried to buy on individual short term weakness. I've never been a positions have to be equal guy. If every stock was an Aristocrat / Achiever maybe. My brother in law with less positions is almost half Achievers, which are for the most part his largest positions. Between them I have about 20% of the money left. I should sit down and lay everything out. I keep waiting for oil stocks to take a break. Could do some rounding on other stocks. Not going to happen soon though as I am going to point my little truck west this afternoon. Will stop in St. Louis at some point to see my sis, but other than that, whichever way the wind blows. Always wanted to, never did.
