Find decent stocks that offer higher than 10% dividends, take for instance SUN, Sunoco That is one nice looking chart - looks like it's on the verge of trying to break out of a massive H & S bottom - thanks for turning me on to SUN.
Knowing you been trading long time, since Sunoco is in the selling at the pump business, does earnings change regardless if gasoline costs 1.89 gallon(this morning in El Paso) or $4 bucks? Don't they sell about the same amount each year and have a set fee by the gallon? I often thought of them like a utility company, same amount and always open. Still cheaper to take the car to go to Granny's for dinner or work for most people. I once took busses to other side of the city, girlfriend said it be fun and dumped her after the trip, which was like 22 miles, El Paso is huge in terms of mileage, but there is a mountain in middle of it, 3 hours and four buses later! I can see why Uber taking off.
