[...] Wow! No one I know thinks so. I guess maybe that’s because we’re all a lot closer to the end of the trail than to the beginning. In fact, The Dividend Guy says pretty much the reverse about his own position. “I will be honest, I hope that 2009 is a better year from a returns perspective.

I agree that nothing like pain teaches a lesson so well. I also wonder if some of the wrong lessons are being learned. Just yesterday I had a conversation with my brother, a business owner with a net worth of well over a million dollars–excluding real estate.

I had to bail on GE – I feel they’ll have to let either the dividend or the AAA rating go at some point. The dividend is the smarter one to cut. So many good companies cut, PFE this morning(even though it was part of a merger to raise cash), why not GE too?

I sold puts on KO instead keeping the cash from the sale still in cash. I love dividends but can make much more money right now on selling puts because they are so expensive.
