Still sitting on the sidelines. We all have our "big fishes" that got away. I thought that correction wasn't enough and haven't learned how/when to short.

Here's what I come away with today. I've been looking at Vanguard on Scottrade but want to steer clear of S&P 500 index because of Soros. Emerging markets wouldn't be good now. Last night Bob Brinker practically yelled at a caller, Vanguard whole stock market. That made sense so I look it up. Well Scottrade doesn't have it any ore (I don't think) nor the Wellington fund. So forget that.

I watched Walgreens go from about 45 to where it was today, 68 something, down a little.

jc Penney's and Blackberry in play again. I don't want to risk JCP but BBRY I will keep my eye on it, made some on it then got burned.

Just about everything else looks overvalued. I don't want to spend all my time on stocks but will look into energy stocks. Also, I got more in divideds last year than I got in interest on more than 3X the money on my credit union account.

Dividends require you to be owner of record on a certain day. Then you can sell. Regardless, I see the overall advantage of dividends, hopefully with a good performer along with it.

I've been out for awhile and think I've kind of lost the feel of it.

Check out Kinder Morgan or AMLP. Kinder Morgan is a pipeline so they have tax implications and AMLP may because of that be a better fit.
