Nice Forbes list of 100 Companies that should last 100 years. Will be tragic/funny to tick these off as they fail if the economy turns south from here.

Thanks Phil, I know it takes effort but this is very useful, almost makes up for the portfolios 🙂 You know what I mean. Thanks!

Thanks Chen - Just the normal Google image search. The trick is to think of strange keywords to type in to get what you want (as well as having a huge monitor to scan pictures fast as 99% are useless).

Thanks for this writeup/update Phil!

BTW, you do put in some pretty awesome/amusing pictures throughout your posts. I’ve always wondered where you get them from or do you make some of them up yourself? (like the google money making machine pic)

Wow, finally done! That just takes way too much time to put together. Members also note that we have a discussion of Day Trading strategies, a TIE play and many trust plays at the end of Friday's post from weekend chat.

Not sure of the date, but I think you also had KMP somewhere in the low $40s and USB, somewhere around $24. Anyway, I entered them.

KMP is real winner, now at $48.50; nice dividend and the stock is very volatile, so there have been some nice dips to sell puts into.

USB was a real winner (hit $29) but it’s retreated… happy with entry anyway. Ready to sit back and watch dividends roll in. Only worry is earnings scaring people off but c’mon, we all know bank earnings in 2009 are going to suck. If other investors don’t and panic sell, I’ll be happy to pick up some more on dips.
