I read a news story this morning where government funds have been found to help GM clean-up old plant sites. Will Chrysler or Ford see any of this money?

Working working really well for me. If your not comfortable then by all means don't play nothing wrong with fixed income investments if that is what you want. If you can't tolerate ups & downs of market then this is not for you. I'm ok with what is happening because I know it will turn around & quality best of breed dividend stocks will be fine over time & dividends are just more income for me as value increases or decreases. Find your comfort zone & invest accordingly. I will not own fixed income investments just not for me as like to win big & can tolerate ups & downs. You asked I answered the best I can & you can do whatever you want with your investments. Seems I can tolerate risk much better than you & that is OK everybody is different.

Well, Whitey....if you can make this market work, and you aren't a stock broker making it by sales...so it doesn't matter what is goin on...you make money, then my hat's off to yah!

For years I have bought when stocks are selling and going down for the day and I sell when everyone is buying and the market is movin up. This has worked very well for me, over the years, but it only works when the market is static, or moving up. If the whole market continues to go down long term, then it becomes more of a risk than I want to take. I pick stocks that if one uses common sense are either up and coming industries, or that everyone has to have it kind of stuff.

I have never had any luck at all in long term holds...but I usually don't buy dividend stock because I don't hold it long enough to get them.

Anyway, the market right now isn't fun for me...so I would rather go mow the lawn, or take out the garbage.

Look at economic & market fundamentals they are are sound for US stocks. I own some international dividend stocks but concentrate on US stocks. Investor emotions are all out of whack now but Europe will work thru problems & the sky is not falling just a few clouds here & there.The investment market will never be clear sailing always will be uncharted waters to sail. It is risk / reward & always will be. Up & downs just don't wring me out with my current best of breed high quality dividend stocks position. So I'm feeling good since dividends are very strong & share value down a little but not much & is offset by Yield. When yield drops share price goes up all win win for me. Sounds like your are invested for growth which is the highest risk postion you can have now. Just for the record...... No I'm not a stock broker & if I was I sure as heck would not be posting positions on JD. lol:)

Don't do that, don't like it, too risky. Turned dividend stocks yields to buy more dividend stocks stocks today too cheap to pass up & don't need income now. So far I like my position very flexable to change in market status. Get ready for turn could be coming soon stocks cheap now. US economic & market fundamentals still strong US stocks oversold may continue selling but I think there will be buyers now. No one really knows just a feeling.
