funds and ETFs can be good, but like @slooow, I like individuals and downturns like this are a good example why. Do not have to go for raspberry jam (spread it wide and thin), when there are bargains time can load up strawberry jam (not spread as wide but chunky). Good stuff out there Consumer- Unilever and Restaurant Brands(Tim Horton's, BK, Popeye's) both over 4% Lots of pharma/biotech kathiel, is the bellwether here Number of interesting Telco, REITs And banks like Sara said already- US Bank up to 4% now

Thank you. My "oops" comment was meant to express that it looks like Morningstar' s rather glowing write-up about LYG has turned out to be rather inaccurate..... There's a hefty dividend, but the share price? In the TWO DOLLAR range at the moment.

The attraction of SCHD for me is its objective to focus on quality companies with sustainable dividends. But it also ends up in Value style box and as a Value portfolio, with a sizeable allocation to financials, it tends to be more volatile when you may put a premium on low volatility.
SCHD along with defensives and financials did not do well today. It was an overall confusing market action today.

Excerpt from today's Barron's:
Bunge and Archer Daniels process soybeans, and in the short term, their shares can trade with the beans, but long term, it’s the crush spread that matters more. That has shrunk, but it could reflate if some market force suddenly pulls demand for soybean meal or oil higher. Margarine, blessedly, is not a category grower. But have you seen the price of diesel fuel?
It turns out that if you combine vegetable oil or animal fat with methanol or ethanol, you can make diesel. I’m told that there should be some sodium hydroxide present, and that the process is called transesterification.....
“We think the sudden dip in soybean oil could be transient,” wrote JPM analyst Thomas Palmer this past week.

Sounds kinky. "Is it dirty? Or just illegal?" (Mulligan, "Kelly's Heroes.")

Sounds kinky. "Is it dirty? Or just illegal?" (Mulligan, "Kelly's Heroes.") If the term is being used in an organic chemical sense, it would (perhaps) make some literal sense. Trans- has a positional significance around a double bond (the opposite being cis-); an ester is a type of organic molecule; -ification means something like "making of". So... The creation of a dual ester formation arranged in trans- orientation? 8^b
Edit: Close, but a different usage of trans- ; in this case, using a ester as a reactant; rather than creating one. Yeah, I know; no one but me cares...
