These are the four stocks I currently own for a variety of reasons. I have only recently started seriously adding other stocks and I hope to learn from the experience of others. I'm looking for other good (or better) stocks in the under $30 range.
I originally had listed other stocks I like to follow or just like in general, but looking towards the future I moved them to separate portfolios.

-
CSE
Capitalsource Inc - $3.78
- -4.06%
- $3.91
In at $18.53, August 2007. Going long for the dividends, future looks great for this company.

-
TSN
Tyson Foods Inc C - $13.07
- 0.00%
- $13.02
I own this stock because I worked for this company in the early 90's and it was offered as an employee benefit. Shortly after I left the company my original shares split 3 for 2. It was automatically set up with a Dividend Reinvestment Plan so it has continued to grow without any attention from me. I'm going long with this company.

-
TAXI
Medallion Financi - $8.16
- -0.73%
- $8.12
In at $10.59, August 2007. Going long for the dividends. BDC company.

-
AHL
Aspen Insurance H - $26.47
- +0.19%
- $26.39
I picked this company for the dividend yield.

-
SDTH
Shengdatech - $5.75
- -0.17%
- $5.73
This stock is all over the place. This company manufactures, markets, and sells "nano precipitated calcium carbonate (NPCC)" in north China. Used in a wide variety of products and recently increased manufacturing capacity. Still lots of growth potential. In at $6.70.

-
TXRH
Texas Roadhouse - $10.49
- +0.67%
- $10.43
Got in the day of Q32007 earnings report at $10.85. Plenty of room for growth, great restaurant.

-
PFE
Pfizer Inc - $18.36
- +1.38%
- $18.15
Purchased this stock for a little stability from an established company (relatively speaking), plus the opportunity for long term dividend reinvestment.

Wow, comments already? I wasn't expecting that. I don't know enough about Sirius, just see that it is priced low and want to learn more about it. Several of the stocks I have listed I have watched for years and thought about buying them when they were at their worst. If I had they would all be worth much more today. I want to try to take that intuition and try to combine it with understanding the fundamentals of companies that turn that corner.
I just started this on the 9th and I am just playing with this site.

Over the last three-and-a-half years these haven't been a particularly good set of stocks. You'd have been much better off with the S&P 500: more return, much less risk. And their average correlations of returns have been almost +25%; you should look for better diversification.
What makes you think these are going to be better performers in the future?

You have all these solid picks and then.....Sirius.
Whats up?
