Ford (F) stock price.

How many folks recall that just 5 years ago this month, Ford's stock price hit a closing low of $1.94 a share. Today, an investment in Ford at that January 2009 price would be worth 700+ percent. Nice return...GO FORD!

I was really pissed at myself when I didn't buy a bunch of stock when it was that low.

You might get another chance soon. I am fearing another big correction soon.

A correction to Ford's stock would raise the current annual dividend of 3.2% to a higher level. Folks complain about not getting adequate interest on their savings accounts but seem unaware that dozens of household name companies with 25 year histories of steadily raising payouts pay dividends of 3-4-5% or more. It's easy to receive annual dividends of 8-10% in companies with secure futures.

I went heavy in 2009 @ the $8-$9 range, dividend's 0.05->0.10->0.125-->

I bought 2k shares in March 2009 at $2.59.. Sold at $16.25 after peaking around $18 few years ago. Then bought back at 9.75 and sold in high 15's again. Now just dropped last few days (Jan 28-31) below 15 due to lower '14 Outlook. I'm on fence to buy back, little concerned about overall market right now. My Apple stock got hammered this week 10% after reporting record earnings. Because they only sold a record 51m I-Phones and not the expected Street number of 56m. Stock market is a crap- shoot to say the least

Im on the fence about my netflix, I think it's about to dive as well. Made a decent amount in equities but I'm shorting the S&P to 1750 atm.

For the most part, I just invest in reasonably high volume ETFs. Best investment thus far was in XLF in 2009 at $7.18, now it's ~$21. Kinda hard to lose being long in US equities over the last 5yrs.

My investment strategy is basically to adjust my weightings a in different market sectors and some fixed income instruments based on an algorithm that I built in grad school.
