Wait a minute...my HE hit another all time new high

[skiracer]

Ski,
MO could win it all. PM and MO are almost perfect stocks to buy and hold. They steadily climb and always pay a nice dividend, nothing flashy and not much hype. Just checked my PM holdings, up 100.5%. Nice slow gains.

PM was my first choice but someone beat me to it. Like you said, with PM and MO in any retirement port, what more could you ask for. Consistent gains and divys.

Yippee!!!... HE has to hit an ALL TIME NEW HIGH 4 me 2 even get a mention on this thread...Doug

5/22/12 Five make the grade

1. Hags-------APL--+3.62% down 9.92% YTD

2. Phoenix----TNH--+3.43% up 23.01% YTD

3. Peanuts----MBT--+2.75% up 11.69% YTD *

4. IIC---------HE----+1.94% up 1.08% YTD comeback of the year candidate

5. Mimo------NCV----+1.77% down 2.31% YTD

* MBT hasn't paid a div. yet and could be disqualified, too bad MBT and Deaddog's AIXG are 2 of the top performers but might get the boot. Paying no dividends for these stocks is like a human athlete taking steroids !

5/21/12 A great day as 15 of our picks finish in the big money.

*AIXG paid div. of .33 on 5/17. This represents a drop below 3.5% and will cause it to be eliminated from the contest unless it pays again before 12/31. The past several years it has only paid one div. per year.

Poor Old Dog; Always getting kicked out in the cold.

Not a problem Billie;

In my income portfolio I have a rule that any stock that increases in value 3 times its dividend or 20% (which ever is less) gets sold and replaced. I figure that if a stock wants to give me 3 years of income in a single year, who am I to argue.
