We all know about that....she must be new to investing.<br /><br />That's true. It works. The only thing is you cannot always find bargains.<br /><br />But also: even a Buffet kind of stock may looses its shine with time: like The Washington Post and at certain points, Coca-Cola. He does not sell them because he still sits on an important (even if falling) unrealized capital gain and receives millions in dividends...but as he himself confessed: some of his holdings are not rational anymore.<br /><br />A company is like a human being: it grows, becomes bigger and bigger, becomes more stable and mature...then, it declines slowly and finally, it dies, some may continue to exist, but owning their stocks may not be the best place to poor money.<br /><br />My point is: be a good value, growth, and dividend investor. Because if you stick to just one style, you may miss home runs.AT THE END, CAPITAL GAIN WINS. Even dividend investing follow that logic: even if that company give away a 8% dividend, but that share price is flat and even drops, you are going nowhere. And also, don't fall in love with your stocks...if a stock did well but doesn't do the job now, maybe it's time to take profits and looking around for growth or to park some cash on an international blue chip shareholder friendly with growing fat dividend suistainable with large shares buyback.Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081063972051540925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-21989164048883485522011-07-07T21:05:05.535-04:002011-07-07T21:05:05.535-04:00"If women are such great investors then why u..."If women are such great investors then why use Warren Buffet as an example?" ~AnonLiquid Independencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05327597388297574167noreply@blogger.com
