I don't give a $#%^ what the market does, today, tomorrow, the next day, next month or next year. I took profits on most of the positions I started at the market bottom in late 2008, and now I'm sitting on postions in several great companies and a few big dividend yielders, so what the market does short and middle term means nothing to me. My stocks will either go up and make me money, or they'll stay flat or go down, and I'll spend the next few months or even the next two years adding more on the cheap and reinvesting dividends. I have no fear whatsoever that my stocks will not go up in value substantially over the long term.

Smart and thats me also. Think long term. Buy when the market is down, do nothing when the stocks are up and when you need/want the money, you sell some shares, its that simple.
Nope, no BP. I'm long on BAC, BRK-B and XOM, (which I'll be adding to) plus AGNC and IGD for their dividends. The only change I've been considering is BAC, because of the long term affects of this idiotic financial reform bill coming out of Congress. I've been looking at several Canadian banks (BMO, TD, CM and BNS) as possible replacements for BAC, as they are all strong healthy banks that are off of their recent highs and pay solid dividends.
I am retiring this month and will finally have time to look closer at my investment portifilos and see if I could find some spare funds to buy a few good stocks, does anyone have leads?
AT&T and Pfizer have great dividends! AT&T yields at 6.92% and Pfizer at 5.09% (<---- at this moment; we all know that could change.)
Although I would recommend mutual funds, bonds, or annuities. They tend to be less aggressive, especially annuities.
