casino stocks

First off,I'm no where near experienced in the stock market.I'm just looking for opinions on what you experts think the casino stocks might do over the next 3-6 monthes.I own some shares in Boyd gaming and,to be truthful,at my age getting sick and tired of the ups and downs of the market.Not sure if I should sell now at a loss,or wait awhile.Thanks for any replies.

Sell them, buy some Exxon or Chevron. Or better yet, stick the proceeds into a nice lost cost index fund.
try EZM 28% ytd, SDY 215 ytd, or SPY 21 % ytd. Bob

Thanks.

Consumer staples have been pretty steady with consistent dividends such as PG or KMB. Both have been slow, steady risers with 3+% dividend. I have both in DRIP's among others and neither have wild swings, only consistency.

If looking for higher divvy's,and fairly consistent appreciation I like telecoms like T, VOD or VZ all pay close to 5% and some energy suppliers like FE or EXC paying 5.8% and 4.3% respectively. These are also in DRIP's. Besides a little adjusting here and there, we don't plan on touching these for many many years so I'm not that concerned with temp. setbacks. Actually all that means to me right now is my divvy's are buying cheaper shares.

All IMO of course.
