Well Orgy, I understand your feelings.
However, for the little guy, following the trend and where the money is going isn't a bad move.
Can't fight the FED as it won't make us profit!
Just stay Alert so not getting Hurt by being near Sell button.
The money and projections toward Shale Gas plays are ever increasing. That indicates a trend. Maybe the biggest Play of the decade.
KOG - on NYSE has been doing well and probably will continue if Oil prices hold.
WHX - on NYSE pays near $3.00 dividend at the moment.
ARW on Venture looks promising.
If NKL gets bought out.... one could triple money invested.
Plus sturdy TSE stocks paying a fair dividend should assist in smooth selling thru 2012.
