I must admit I've been buying some boring shares this week. A 5% yield looks rather attractive compared with 1% in the bank.

Made my money for the day. I think I'll reward myself with the afternoon off

PMJunkie and Saguru, enjoy the rest of your day in the office

What is this company boring of which you speak? Do they do drilling?

If you were not joking then you would be making the wrong move! Statistically speaking you should work as long as possible on good days and as little as possible on bad days.

Its a mistake taxi drivers frequently make.

Trouble is when they go down 20% and you need 4 years of dividends to get back to 1% down.

Well, I tend to trade lighter when I have made my days profit.
But I also trade lighter if I have a loss that day.

Good days can end in disaster if you get trigger happy.

True, but these shares haven't lost 20% from current value ever. Would be a real sheet storm if they did
