Things are still way too expensive. I don't know how you guys can buy BP near 60 dollars. The upside potential is about half of the downside. Most of the the energy equities, especially natural gas related, do not currently have a favorable risk vs reward IMO. I still own a good chunk of them for the dividend but the time to buy was when BP was sitting at 40-45 for month after month.

Sahtt is right everything is still quite expensive, and I'm definately not going in fullthrottle. I'm only 20% invested as it stands. I don't do anything on margin so the cash giving me no return is killing me.

What div stocks are you looking at sahtt? always like to hear.

today i like PM. at 46-47ish i think its a good buy. it can easily go to 50 and it pays a good dividend. this is similar situation to when i bought MO at 18 and now it hovers around 19-20. Safe bet with decent upside.

thoughts on google...ummm i wouldn't trade on controversial news. right now i have amzn on my radar at 120ish...anyone have thoughts on amzn??? think it will be a good one to own long term.

forgot to add...dump on ADBE!!! cs5 launches this year, and since the economy was in the shitter during cs4, many skipped it. the pent up demand will benefit cs5. should be a good year imo. I see it going to 40!
