But did OXY over pay and increase debt to risky levels? It certainly seems to be asymmetrically beneficial to Warren. And things will have to go well, at the macro and company levels, for this to turn out to be a winning deal for OXY. I never thought about owning OXY, I have full positions in four super-majors, and just let them drip, with some confidence that they will survive future downturns, even if they don't go to the moon in boom times. Yeah, so do you prefer the Select-A-Size Bounty paper towels, or the traditional large sheets? (g)

I think a valid point on discussing the same companies, although I don't have a problem with that. Most of the time there isn't something new to add, other than when they raise the dividend, unless a merger, or acquisition. I know there are some DGI purists here, and investing the way one wants should be a top priority. I also know there are many here that invest/trade around an income core of their portfolios. One of the best things I like about SI is that, once out there, you can't "take it back". I like real world, and real world doesn't change. The longest running DGI portfolio I know of, had a goal of 10% on cost after ten years. That has been scrubbed, as it might make 9% in eleven years. If income is the main goal, I find that disappointing, just like the removal of the main goal without mention. I've brought up a few good dividend growth stocks, CE, HRS, SNX, to name a few, but they garner no discussion/comments, I suppose because their yields are not high enough. I for one, like when others post what they are doing, especially if they post it at the time, not like so many I see other places, that say I bought XX back on …. and I am up 100%. I think there are many times when others won't post what they are doing because they figure it doesn't fit here. I think that is a loss, because even though we all do different things, I think we are all on the same ship, and if they are fishing off the other side, I can't see them. If it isn't for me, I just move on. I don't think there has been an overabundance of said posts. I do think starting the post with OT is a good idea, but I have slipped there. Most times when something "off topic" is posted it is either something just for fun, being added to a watch list, or there is some conviction. I can garner which from the post. I don't think there is an overabundance of these posts.
