I was with a value trap for 19 years. She didn't have a lot of ups and downs, and she paid dividends.
But then I cashed out and moved into high risk. Man, it went through the roof. But then I watched it hit the peak and slowly turn red. Then it went red really fast and crashed down to zero.
Learning from both, I met a woman who is value/growth. There's a lot of ups and downs, but not TOO many. And she pays dividends. She DRIPS all over me.
She's got a nice ass, so I've got to keep an eye out for activist investors though. Or else she might split.
