Hi Tom. Locking in profits is probably a function of selling when stocks reach a preset target price. My point is that until and unless I feel a stock is overvalued I see no need to lock in a profit, especially when one considers the tax implications of selling in a taxable account. When a better idea presents itself, such as where we find cpq and intc today, I will sell dead money stocks that have risen in value i.e. pep and mo. I don't understand the relationship between ROE and splits and dividends since most real high growth stocks pay little or no dividend. Your return on equity is a function of price appreciation. The drip method is a great way to accumulate shares of good companies. Intel has a drip plan that is administered through Harris Bank. An easier way to accumulate shares on price dips is to go through a web broker that charges a nominal amount to trade such as Waterhouse or e trade. I wish I could tell you how to transform your salary into bigger money, but in reality we started a small business several years ago and invest all of the income in the market. I do have a nice supplemental retirement plan from school with a match from the employer. It is invested in aggresive mutual funds with an aggregate value of about 90G, but I have been teaching for 25 years. I wish you well. It sounds like you are doing beautifully. If you have any questions that I might be able to answer don't hesitate to ask. Others on this thread are much more experienced traders than I am. Take care.
