so is it safe to assume you haven't done as well with day trading lately ? just curious
Not a safe assumption at all. I've made 29 trades in 2012 and lost money on only one trade.
Realized gains for the seven and half weeks of 2012 = $8,158.94 for an average of 33 basis points per trade.
I did a pro forma dividend portfolio spreadsheet of 17 companies which gives a yield of about 4.5% using about 1/3 of my total stocks portfolio.
I'm not going all in at one time, especially with the market where it's at today, but I'm gradually buying into some companies when they have a price pull back.

Yep, that's a good candidate.
My only reservation is the tobacco issue. I'm no prude but having lost both parents to smoking related diseases, I'm just not sure I can own a company that receives a large percentage of its profits from selling tobacco products.
It's a personal issue, not a financial one.
