I'm still in the building out the portfolio stage, so I've been purchasing many of the big blue, DGI usual suspects, and now am in the satellite acquisition stage to "juice" things up a bit. Am kicking myself for not adding to my KMP position this a.m. before the markets opened. So my "TA" usually consists of checking the stock against divvy growth specs first, and then I kind of subscribe to a method a SA contributor espouses who says purchase in the mid-range of the one year high-to-low range. Yes, I may have paid too much sometimes, but having turned 62 last week, and officially retired (although working a non-profit job), I feel a need to put my money to work right away, and not sit out for 16-24 months waiting on the big dip. All in all, life is good.... No complaints.
