ORIGINAL: servantforuse I buy stocks in quality companies that pay a dividend. I was talking to the OP. Sorry. So you`re the only one who didn`t loose a pant load in '08'? Who`s your broker? I didn't lose a thing. I never sold anything. I've actually gained. If I bought a widget for $5 in 2000 and it was worth $25 dollars in 2007, then $ 6 dollars at the end of 2008, and now it's worth $22.00, what have I lost? Nothing! Because I still own the widget I paid $5 for. The ONLY way I lose is if I sell it for less than $5.
