I'm pretty much with Merlin on this subject. For long term, some decent yielding DRIPs can be a good addition.
Agreed. If I try to short. I'll do it at a profit where I think things are coming down. I'm not talking about shorting other people's shares, just selling at a slight profit and rebuying when it falls because it's on the way down.
If the same stock doesn't come down, then all I have to say about it is 'oops...'.
