Great Idea, MSS, and while I ain't got time today, I'll put my basket of oil & gas royalty trusts in. I was meaning to talk a little about them, anyway.
With that major plunge in $NATGAS, from well over $15 to under $9 (in like three weeks!), you'd think the heavily gas-weighted trusts would be better buys now, but they've barely budged in price at all. Sheesh! Is it the market knowing that the dividends are safe, etc., or is it just the fates confounding me once again?! Drat! Dang blast it....
Best,
Doug
From the first of the year I have suggested that ten different stocks might be looked at for buying. What will be attempted is a tracking portfolio with the cost price based on the day before I posted the suggestion or the opening price the day of posting. All cost have been rounded to the closest $.05. The up dates will be made on the weekend except when a stock is dropped and another is added. The list will always have ten stocks. This is for fun to see how well we can or cannot do.
I MAY OR MAY NOT OWN ANY OF THESE STOCKS AT THIS TIME.
THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION TO BUY OR SELL ANY STOCKS LISTED.

The number of shares was picked as a constant instead of an equal amount of dollars, as most suggest to spread risk.
Todays close.
