So true... we all have our own paths to reach our goals... I was looking at high yielders yesterday using Fish's spreadsheet and was looking at CLMT... I'm guessing you like dividend cuts as part of your trading strategy... I'm trying to avoid trading in the DGI PF... I have to say, though, I'm still struggling to find two stocks for the cash in my DGI PFs and so far have not been able to find any that pass all my screens and are also "value" priced... so I'm considering altering my screens just for two new positions... I hadn't looked at some high yielders in a long time and started digging into a list of them, including CLMT... just can't shake my feeling that I want to avoid owning a company that might cut the divvy/dist. by 50% -- but understand that can also signal opportunity. For now, toying with the idea of simply adding to some existing positions and worry about diversifying a bit more at some point in the future, and/or "parking" the money for two positions in a very high yield stock -- a swing trade... less diversification vs. swing trading a very high yielder for short/intermediate term. Decisions, decisions...
