PG, PFE, and WMT all have decent dividends, which are likely safe. I don’t see any of the three going out of business in our lifetime. They know what they’re doing. However, not a lot of growth in PFE and PG over the past ten to fifteen years.

If you’re young, equities are the place to be, as you have a long time horizon in which to invest.

The time to buy is when everyone else is selling, and then hold until everyone else is buying. So said J. Paul Getty.

If you get a buying opportunity in any of those three stocks, take advantage.

Proctor and Gamble and Walmart...

IBD rates PG at 72 (out of 100) hampered by institutional selling and relative strenth v. the general market.  WMT gets a meager 42 rating for a number of reasons.  Thats all I can find out 'cause neither had come up on my radar.

If only pfizer could come up with an ebola cure.

Some folks do well on wild card medical stars but I've never gotten anywhere w/ volatile unknowns.  Early last month I bot  CELG @ $91, held it for a month and dumped at the same price because it went nowhere and the overall market trend was down.  Now I read that it just soared to over $96 --close to its all time high on earnings news but I don't see any lesson there 'cause there were no signals.

Weird.  I just looked at the CBPO  I got yesterday and it's jumped 5% this morning...
