The rule of thumb is the tighter the spread the more liquid the stock denoting stability.
NYSE stocks used to trade with very tight spreads but the advent of computer trading has widened them a bit. Apple almost always trades with a .01 difference between bid and ask. That's impressive. ![]()

I just realized that if you buy one share of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) you could easily make $1000 a day. Some days you may make $3-4000

The only challenge is ponying up for that one share.

I'm trying to quit my 15 year career as an IT developer/application engineer to become a farmer.
Does this equal profit, or not? No ponies in the plans though.

I bet there's big money in ponies. They're starter horses for people who don't know if they want a horse. If you look at the number of 11 year old girls in the world, that's huge demand.

I know Rainman mentioned having many good stocks that also provide dividends.
Anyone care to provide a list of solid companies with good paying dividends?

Scho, are you writing any covered calls with portions of the GE stocks you own since you have quite a large volume?

http://www.dividend.com/dividend-sto...ing-stocks.php What's good depends on your goal. That list is dividend aristocrats. Companies that have increased their dividend for 25 years. Typically a good sign of a well run company with possibly a moat. They don't all necessary pay a large dividend if that's what you're after. I think Rainman has talked a bit about REITs. They can pay big dividends but they're unqualified so I don't touch them in my taxable account. I keep to indexes in my retirement so I don't end up a homeless bum. Utilities tend to have good dividend payouts and are pretty safe. It's a defensive sector. |
