What I learned today and some stocks!

You are only truly rich when you know who you are, where you belong in this world and you accept where God has placed you at any point in time. I want to make money to be able to do whatever I want to when I want to. I find it inherently difficult to accept where I am despite where I live, how much I make and how much time I have. I have more than most and give a little when I can but I am constantly working on the goal of early retirement. With the millions upon millions of people in the world that have less than I with the thousands of children dying everyday because no one does anything to help. My hope for this site is to show people how to obtain some control of the financial situation so that they might give more than ever thought possible to those that truly need our help. God doesn't just ask for 10% he asks for all you have. In this I believe is the hardest part for anyone to accept but is the true meaning of faith. It is painfully obvious that the old saying "money is the root of all evil" is true. I have seen it drive people to buy lottery tickets instead of food for their kids, business men to lie, cheat and steal to have more than anyone ever deserves and drive politics and arguments that are just insane and steal away from the true course of mankind.

Ok, off the soap box for now... I'm currently starting to look at LEG, it has been increasing dividends consistently and a low PE along with manufacturing of consumer products, which if the mortgage woes impact retail purchasing might not be a positive. It has been in a sell off lately and is just above it's low with a target of 27$ (as far as targets go). I will be looking into this one in more depth in the near future.

MCD has raised its dividend payment to 1.50 this year. Never to late to start buying some. I recommend their DRIP program. No matter what happens people always go to McDonalds. Again another continuous dividend payer.

More to come. Yes, I should have held onto VMW. But I should have bought DECK and MVL and CROX, etc... So do as I say and not as I do...
