Anyone who lives in an urban area invariably comes across a busy cross walk, often many times. Have you ever lingered around, perhaps at a cafe, and watched how people cross the street? They do it in a variety of methods. Some will wait for the light to turn green, the little hand to guide them and then proceed and the one extreme is once in a while there are those who do not seem to notice the lights. Part of adapting to the urban living is the perception  of when it is reasonably safe to cross the street. It is possible to remember the delays in the lights on your routine walks, but should people go on a yellow or when the number has counted down to less than 5? In the busy intersections you will see people going when the number is down to 1. Will they fly across the street in a second or two? no but in their busy lives, they go anyways.

Linking to dividend producing stocks, people will be invest in many different methods similar to their tolerance level. If you love the excitement of going across the walk with just a few seconds left, stick to growth stocks. If you prefer to wait, the extra 10 seconds, until it is safe, then one of your best investments will be in dividend producing stocks. No matter which method you go across the street remember to look both ways, for part of getting to the other side is the enjoyment of your life.

There are more questions than answers, till the next time – to raising questions.
