Monthly update: Hope this year ends better than last, but definitely concentrating more on my two sided income plan.

Monthly update ( glad to put 2014 behind ):

Thanks to all who said they get something out of this.
I hope not to keep you in stitches in 2015. lol!

Surprised with my amount in oil, I have gotten back above the S+P.

Buffett and the Naz still tearing it up long term.

DVK has made some changes, but not yet updated his income. dailytradealert.com

Hope this year gives the opportunity to add some old stalwarts on a market pull back.

Monthly update ( too much energy has made this fugly ):
Sometimes you just have to take your medicine like a man. In the old days a little castor OIL might be given.

Anyone seen Buffett? He passed over the horizon a while back, and I haven't seen him since.
No denying I would be much further ahead putting my money in BRK five years ago. Can't dispute facts.
Would it be a good idea now, or akin to picking top funds, when choosing those currently
at the other end of the spectrum might be the right choice for the coming year/s? I have no idea.

Watching my mother have to sell shares at the near bottom not that many years ago, to fund her RMD, has
me biased to actual income I can let build up, or take out, to cover that. Right or wrong, you make your choices.

DVK has kicked me and my return to the curb, first time since I included his portfolio. Salute!

First time in five years I am total return below the S+P. I believe we are at the point others quit keeping
track of public portfolios. Not this hard head. It is just getting interesting. Sorry. lol!

End Nov. 2014 update

Monthly update ( because downdate isn't a word ): Buffet is currently the man. I'm behind far enough I'm not even eating his dust. DVK has continued a nice move mostly skirting the oil slick. sensiblestocks.com I have fallen and I can't get up. No idea where oil is going. Do I believe CVX, OXY, XOM, COP, and others have put in all time highs forever? No. Surely I'll be early, but I plan to add through the cycle. ...............Current Value Prior Value Period Change %Change Estimated Income Estimated Yield Oct.

Monthly update: Lumps all around except for the Wizard of Omaha. Two lumps for me. DVK: "In September, I purchased 12 shares of Procter & Gamble" sensiblestocks.com Not long ago I posted that current income was $22,400. I was off ( in the right direction lol ), but the figure here is not correct either. $2 listed as the dividend for NRF, when actually, after the split you get one dividend of .50 and then .40 from there on out. On the statement 446 shares is shown paying $892 when it should be $713 @ $1.60. Statement income should read $22,754. ...............Current Value Prior Value Period Change %Change Estimated Income Estimated Yield Aug.
