I'll make this short and sweet.
I sold all my stock of Vestas Wind Systems (VWSYF.PK), Hansen Medical (HNSN), and Nintendo (NTDOY.PK), because they do not have dividends. Not because I don't believe in wind turbines, catheter robotics, or gaming platforms.
In their place, I bought more stock of Diana Shipping (DSX), Frontline (FRO), and Tesoro (TSO), because they have substantial dividends.
Cash is king.
Here's my current portfolio. As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them.
