This past year, for the opportunistic long-term investor, should turn out to be a more broad tax-loss selling period than we&#39;ve seen in previous years over the last bull market. I&#39;m glad that there are other investors out there who recognize the value in a number of high quality names and have the convictions &amp; discipline to stick with their investing plan. Over the long-term, in my opinion, I think these actions will be rewarded by the strongest companies in the current market.Nurseb911http://www.nurseb911.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886595570005494885.post-86822839421032785782009-01-09T11:25:00.000-05:002009-01-09T11:25:00.000-05:00I also took advantage of tax-loss selling this year - initiating significant positions TD and PWF mid-December. I feel the div's are safe and with yields of 6% and 6.5% at the time of purchase I was more than happy. <BR/><BR/>December usually provides a few bargains and this year there were more than a few!Marknoreply@blogger.com
