<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vegasvic, post: 424015, member: 15296&quot;]Thanks to Spock for the link to that great web site.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to make good use of it.&nbsp; Also I like the Monex graphs that include the 100 and 200 day moving averages of precious metals.&nbsp; A month ago I thought they were behaving normally and we would see an uptick.&nbsp; However, the last week to 10 days have completely thrown any sense I thought I was making of them out the window.&nbsp; They seem to have merged and are heading down at about a 45 degree angle.I got an MBA in Finance many years ago and tomorrow it&#039;s off to the library for financial analysis books.&nbsp; The basic patterns I learned in school and through trading are not holding true.&nbsp; Although with the start of Parkinson&#039;s, I&#039;ll be the first to admit I&#039;ve probably forgotten what hasn&#039;t been used recently.&nbsp; The only stock I hold outright anymore is McDonald&#039;s (MCD).&nbsp; That stock is a no brainer.&nbsp; They increase the dividend each year, last year doubling from $.75 to $1.50.&nbsp; At today closing price of $63.20, that is a 2.37% yearly return without any stock price increase.&nbsp; The stock has tripled in value in five years and shows no sign of stopping.&nbsp; The international market continues to be an opening for them and now they are kicking Starbuck&#039;s with their premium coffee&#039;s.&nbsp; Let&#039;s face it, can you afford a $4 cup of coffee with gas at $4 and groceries rising at 20% per year.&nbsp; There is not enough money in the world to turn Burger King into the number one fast food chain.&nbsp; </p><p>Anyway, I drifted off the subject and will spend more time on Spock&#039;s web site.</p><p>Vegas Vic[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
