    Still have some PPC stock...One got called away, another didn't. Over 5 years it's had a high of over $32. with a low of about $15. something. The stock that didn't get called away, is still there. Always think it will get called...Good PE ratio. I've done maybe 3-4 options (covered calls) on...

    I was thinking of something very very simple and basic. How about buy a small used car lot...7-11,000 sq ft lot. Have an office (2-300 sq ft.) that meets 2020 commercial standards (ADA, door, bathroom). Lease it to someone who is in the business. Or have a commercial real estate agent do the...

    From California...Went through that issue many years ago. I won't do it. The family use to grow wine grapes into my 20's. I ended up growing almonds. Yeah, I enjoy a glass of wine on occasions. But didn't want to go down that path. Won't buy a mutual fund where a tobacco company is in the...

    ADM...I can sleep well at night

    My thoughts are Duke was overpriced in March. You had oil going down (but not crashing) and you had many retirees (and others...pensions) looking for secure income. Before the crash, CDs were still paying diddly/squat. Just me, I believe Duke is priced correctly now...
