The SPDR website shows a trailing PE of 15.6 for DIA which represents the Dow stocks and a trailing PE of 17 for SPY (S&P 500). The forward PE for DIA is only 13.82, thus still a bargain for the long-term.
The PE on the S&P 500 is only 14 right now. Sure, a correction is due. But for those telling people to sell everything is just ridiculous. Have a long-term view, dollar-cost average into your holdings and you'll have nothing to worry about.
Myriad Genetics: Disruptive Products For Cancer Diagnostics [View article]
The company stated in its latest 10k report that it does not believe the lawsuit will have a material impact on its business, financial position, or results of operations. Furthermore, the lawsuit only pertains to the BRCA testing for breast and ovarian cancer, not all of Myriad's diagnostics. If Myriad loses the case, the company will still be diagnosing patients for these tests, but the door will be open for more competition.
Myriad's myRisk diagnostics will be replacing the single-gene tests in 2015.

CEOs and other execs typically sell company stock to keep their portfolios balanced. Large sales aren't automatically an indication of a lack of confidence.
The Obama Administration's Natural Gas Policy Is Tragically Misguided [View article]
I think you have to let the market determine whether natural gas exporting makes sense or not. If exporting is profitable for natural gas producers, then it will happen. Taxes and subsidies can be used to influence this profitability.
There is definitely potential with CHK. I think an increase in natural gas demand over time will ultimately benefit investors. More car/truck fleets using nat gas, electric being generated with nat. gas, etc. should increase demand over the long-term. http://seekingalpha.co...

factzplz,
You don't think that $13 billion in debt for a $12 billion market cap company is not a lot of debt? That's like saying that the U.S. doesn't have a lot of debt. How much would you consider a lot of debt for CHK?

deercreekvols,
That's a great combination. I assume you owned COP before PSX was split off. By owning both, you have more diversification among the various segments of the energy sector.

poor to rich,
I understand that point, but many small companies don't automatically become large ones either. You can lose a lot of money trying to pick the next winner. I agree to own some small or spec. stocks as a small portion of a portfolio to keep things interesting. However, having a tried and true market-beating position like BRK, which also has low downside risk is wise for the meat of a portfolio IMHO.

Keep in mind you're also investing in companies like Geico, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, etc. with BRK. I touched on the overall breakdown of what BRK really owns in this article: http://seekingalpha.co...
What To Expect From McDonald's Going Forward [View article]
I think MCD is rich in value right now. However, it should be a great long-term investment, especially when considering the dividends - MCD raises them every year.
It might be difficult to buy the stock at the perfect time. The market is due for a pullback, so maybe the stock will sell-off if we get a correction. It won't matter much in the grand long-term scheme of things, though.
Stay diversified & keep your eye on the long-term.

Those are great points, but remember CHK is allocating 85% of drilling completion capital to liquid plays.
