As of yesterday I only have to clear +$108K in the next six trading days to pull down a +$500K month - however I'm sliding backwards today and that's ok. It's like a fine dance number with two steps forward and one step backwards. Six days can be a long time when you try and maneuver around a bullish stampede. My dividends don't mind carrying the heavy load a while longer.
 
I now have 94 dividend increase announcements ytd - only need 42 more to equal 2012 totals. I usually get to buy something every day and I like that in both a bear and bull markets.
 
"A flood of cash into U.S. money-market mutual funds has surprised investors who expected to see the money flow into stocks, highlighting persistent investor anxiety even as stock indexes reach new highs." That's just more money sitting on the dock of the bay watching profits slip away. The stock market can go a lot higher before this is all over, that's simply common sense. Buy now ahead of the herd.
 
Do you own any AAPL or FB? I'm considering getting rid of what I have. I think the money i have tied up in these could be put to better use.

I have FB, but bought in at $20.00......I'm staying for the long haul, should have doubled down at $25.00, I'm thinking.....

I bought in at 30something and it's taken me a long time just to break even. I see pros and cons to keeping Facebook, I'm just tired of holding stocks that I have to monitor constantly.

Hopefully you can find one you have more trust in!
 
Judy,

You might take a look at LUB (Lubys) for a no worry stock. I own 4,475 shares and will be buying more money permitting.
 
I'm resigned to have a negative week and there goes any chance for a +$500K month - well you can't be a winner all the time. I did get notice of another 5 dividend increase announcements: ATLS, ARP, MSI, OKE, SWK. I also have 4 dividends paying today at golden pricing. Now I'm going to go give my yard an hour of weed pulling to rest my mind.
 
Ref: All I want in my stocking for Christmas this year are more coal shares - the more the better. "We are seeing the first 'green shoots' of this potential rally."


By any chance you liking ACI, WLT, ANR, BTU or are you just picking up shares of the ETF KOL?

I own ACI, ANR, JRCC, BTU, KOL, CNX, and I'll be in the hole on coal for at least another year - but that doesn't really bother me that much. I was in the hole on housing and related materials at one point also and now they are roses. Obama won't be in the White House forever and coal resources will rebound with advancing technology. I'm just using common sense.
