For me now, with my volumes, the dividend is not important, it's a kind of bonus. I look at how the company is doing numerically, if it has debt, how big, and then I go to the chart and look for daily/weekly supports, because they don't just blow something up... Of course some technical analysis in the form of trendlines, fibo... etc. But there are companies where I wouldn't hesitate and this would all fall off MSFT, Google maybe Apple still well there is a very big guarantee that it will survive almost everything.. 😃 it is important to resist prices and not go right "behind the house" always keep maybe 5-10% you never know what will fall to a luxury price... 👍

$MMM

I've been buying more $CSCO, because it will have results and they are expected to be good again and overall I like the stock so far... Otherwise, I was considering buying into Disney's I finally figured I'd wait... :) i'm looking at 3M, but i have bought for now and am keeping a little cash just in case... :D I'm also looking at $JNJ has strong support underneath it right now at $150-157, so buying isn't out of the question either... :)
