Does anyone know of a fund that focuses on solid domestic companies that pay dividends (JNJ, GE, etc.), and that doesn't have insane load/fees?

dv6speed posted:They are out there... never looked into them myself. Lower investment threshold for more diversification, same reason anyone buys funds. Also just doing a bit of anti-volatility planning/thinking. Edit: Actually Vanguard has two ETFs that fit my initial bill, garners further research. VYM and VIG. mcsuede fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Feb 8, 2010 |

ThinkorSwim is fantastic, if I was a bigger fish I'd use them absolutely.

I remember hearing that Buffet has a warehouse where he holds physical silver as part of his portfolio. For those of us not quite at his level, I find it kind of absurd. Hell of a lot of extra work to trade in physical goods than futures. That poo poo is heavy!

Made a long-term play on STD before open this morning.  Nice to have some immediate validation so I can get on with the "forget it" part of set it and forget it.

The hidden factor there is that Netflix has always been and is at it's core a streaming company, they simply invented the mail division because streaming wasn't feasible when the company was born. Streaming has been their core strategy since day one--the name is Netflix, not Mailflix. They already have their own set top box, they're in Xbox, Wii, and I believe soon PS3 (people still have those?) and have struck deals with TV manufacturers to be included by default in the firmware of TV sets. Their books were terrible a few years ago too before their mailing division really took off via word of mouth and their heavy affiliate marketing push, and I wouldn't count them out of the next phase quite so easily. They are fighting content publishers, but so is everyone and so far they're the only ones who have made any sort of progress, even if so far it's been with small studios. Their biggest problem is the conglomerate beast of Hulu, but the jury will be out a while on that one. None of the media geeks I know can stand Hulu but that's not really who matters. If Hulu can succeed they'll be a long-term threat to Netflix as they're big content owned, but Netflix has a head start in both brand perception and "last mile"* implementation. What's all this mean for the long term viability of the stock? I have no idea. The first innovators rarely take the lion's share of the spoils. *Last mile in this case being internet->tv devices
