Jeremy4Good for you , and welcome to both SH and the volatile and convoluted world of investing. While l don't call myself a guru in any form , a piece of advice to you. Ignore the noise of the pathetic stalking posers, and at your stage of investing , do not try daytrading. That is reservered for the gamblers and those with deep pockets who it would appear always make money and never lost a nickel in their posted after the fact trades. That comment applies at least in one respect to many on other boards. You will find it quite enlightening how many multimillionaires feel it's their duty to post on SH , you would think they would have something better to do with those millions in the bank. My thoughts are just steadily invest in this and other entities , preferably ETFs rather than individual stocks and reinvest those divs in more shares. Yes it can be a slow process but a long defunct bought out investing houses slogan , Was we make money the old fashion way We Earn it. Clarification , that was Smith Barney. At this time to complete the triumvirate of your portfolio , since you have both energy and utilities , you should add a bank ETF as they to are interest rate sensitive. There are many out there , high div payers such as BK , FTN , HMaX and LCS . Take a look and make your own choice and as some say do your own Due Diligence.
