If you go into the old movies or collection of old movies – there are themes as Voyages to distant planets. In the 1965, a few years after President Kennedy told Americans we will be on the moon before the end of the decade. Space travel movies were made and one of the  Grade B movies made was Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet. The only reason for watching the movie was the leading star is Basil Rathbone. If the name sounds familiar he was the face of Sherlock Holmes for 15 movies. When you watch the Sherlock Holmes movies and then compare it to Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet, you might wonder why did he take the gig -need of money? In the Star Trek TV show which aired a year later in 1966, at least the communications and the ability to move to a planet were light years ahead of what was existing  thus suggesting what could be. In the Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet the communications were CB radios. The imagination level was left to a low budget and tight schedule or that was a distinct lack of it.

Linking to dividend paying stocks, the difference of quality between movies and what is good and what is produced can easily be seen on the movies. That is you challenge when looking at stocks on the market. They all have business plans, they all have Presidents, but many lack the ability to make profits on a year to year basis, let alone to pay some of the profits in dividends. We all can see the differences in the things we care about and it helps make up your personality and outlook on life. Bring the same attitude to the market and concentrate on the quality, it will save you money and more importantly the quality companies will grow over time and you will be wealthier.

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