| nunnurbiz <whodunit@notme.org>: Mar 13 07:50PM New Low for microSUCK asshole shit company, dishonest and started by the THIEF Bill Gates. They are NOW sending VIRUSES to you Windows OS without notification or warning under the GUISE of REPAIR WINDOWS such to take control of your OS and disable it until you PAY UP. Bunch of low life motherfuckers (incompetent to boot). Bill Gates is living proof that to be successful in the USA you have to be a THIEF, LIAR and conman. Then you can shovel your SHIT OS onto the public. Do NOT choose "repair windows" on startup, you will get infected with the microsuck virus and your OS will no longer work correctly. You will receive the message: your windows version is not genuine, click here to activate it. What a bunch of morons working at MS. Do they not realize that windows 7 is freely available all over the net, including working keys. I guess the figure that the mostly ignorant gullible public will fall for their bullshit? |

Garbage like that I forward to a Spam Cop account I have with the full headers attached. Then I block the pond scum who sent me the slop and their domain, then delete the offending message, and continue with my day. Oh, by the way, every few months to maybe once or twice a year I also get a phone call to return the call immediately as my Microsoft license will expire immediately!!!!!!!!!!! Those dumbasses are added to my blocked numbers list and once again I continue with my day. You do know that computer 'licenses' don't expire? Good, I thought you wouldn't fall for this scam either. |

But I thought that the name of the game was to reach a point where you have accumulated enough stock paying high enough dividends such that you can subsequently live just on the dividends? |

For decent dividend paying stocks the higher the dividend yield the higher the risk. CTL (8.65%) is riskier than T (6.84%) which is riskier than VZ (4.33%). If you are investing in individual stocks you need a portfolio of at least 10 stocks (from multiple industries) to spread the risk. |

As for buying more shares, yes. The concept is often called "dollar cost averaging". As for younger vs older, not quite... You should ALWAYS look at the potential of a stock or fund before buying. You should also decide WHY you are buying that particular position, and what your goal for it is. If you are investing for the long term, you should be prepared to ride the ups and downs. If you have a specific price target, sell when it reaches that target. Review your long-term holdings once or twice a year. Decide whether you will continue to hold, or set a new sell price target. Your age only comes into play when you decide to retire and need to liquidate the stock for income... |

If the company is indeed failing, then yes, the worst case scenario is as you described. That is why you should choose carefully and monitor performance regularly. Long-term capital gains are all taxed at the same rate, unless you have investment income beyond the threshold where the Obamacare tax starts ($250K for joint filers). |

How is that any different than taking the dividends as cash and putting the money in some other investment? Any investment has risk.

That could be your game, but there are many other games. You can put your money in the bank or bonds if you're primary focus is "dividends". |

Any that are stupid enough to persist in calling > again are blocked using my Pro Call Blocker device. I get a lot of spam calls with the first 6 numbers of my phone number. These are generally a recorded message from a Chinese woman -- in Mandarin. I would guess this happens because those digits belonged to a majority-Asian area back when we could tell where a caller was from by the first 6 digits. I just reject them. -- Cheers, Bev Some people are like Slinkies... Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs. |
