Scott I completely agree it’s not time to sell wildly it’s time to plan in light of new information!
I just want to add my two thumbs up to this BRILLIANT real-time portfolio building idea and say that I will be hanging on every trade! Love, love, LOVE it!
Thanks Broadway I'm going to start next week!

Scott, Amen, brother. If you can pull that off -- demonstrate how to build a portfolio in real time -- I think you bring real value and insight into what otherwise is a financial media powered by speculation and hot air. I don't think I've seen anyone else do anything similar, right?

Scott,
Such an idea (building a portfolio in real time);would be mind-blowingly cool.
This will let would-be investors not just get a handle/a feel on how to invest in markets(via a virtual portfolio of sorts) but also ensure that current investors know and appreciate which is the best way to invest in the event of extreme market volaitility[After all is'nt that what we are going through today???]
Also don't forget to add Dividend Yields and Compounded Dividends in that picture.
Regards
Ashish.
I do not think it's a bad idea. But I do think that price selection is a very important component (due to market volatility) and that you need to have a dollar-cost averaging strategy in case we enter a new bear market, which is very possible.
For example, there is a huge difference if you decided to buy Dupont in March 09 or May of 2010. like a 50% return difference. Even a 20% haircut can make the dividends look pretty paltry.
I think what I am going to do is start a new feature on the site about how to build a portfolio in real-time would that be a good idea?

Scott, I think you've said this before here, but please remind me ... investing heavily, or even solely, at this point in high-dividend stocks is a bad idea why?
Sorry but my optimism is not as unbridled as yours. What makes you sure we won't have another recession in 2012? Oil went down to $40 in the last recession. It seems to me that consensus puts recession at something like 25%, whereas I see it closer to 50/50.
