That's the wrong title for this thread. You have a "sky is falling" sensationalistic demeanor.

Oh it's a buy. 6.6% dividend yield, I think. I've been buying LLY on dips. And my cost basis so far is about $28.50, but that should be going up a bit since I think LLY will drop to my limit price today.

I don't short stocks, btw. Makes me nervous.

No-load, I hope. Otherwise the only person making good money is your broker, imo.

yep, although my broker did advise me which ones to purchase. Oh yeah, I guess I do have some stocks, I forgot about the IRA I inherited from my father, that the broker manages.

Nice to be in the position where you can forget about some of your investments.

Does the broker trade your stocks very often...snagging his/her commission along the way?

Mutual funds are the way to go. Also all of you should look at GLD. The safe bet

No load, sub 1% expense ratios. Set it and forget it style investing. I checked my balance about 3 years ago, and I'll check it again in 30 years.
