    Stocks That May Take a Hit When (If) Oil Hits $150 [view article]
    In the same vein, a dubious individual can make an astute claim. I don't fault the writer for his article, but criticism is better met with fact, than with attacks on the character of your opponent. Thanks for the interesting thoughts though. It is harder to create than to criticise. Reply

    One who relies on title for justification of a belief or view, dishonours that title and undermines the intellectual authority that title was meant to convey.

    This list sugests a broad spread economic downturn and makes sense at $150.00 oil or even where it is now. I think it was a good article, informative and well written. Thanks. Reply

    Dryships Ahoy - Cramer's Lightning Round (5/5/08) [view article]
    BDX, up or static? That is my dilemma. I bought the stock when it was only 27, but only 40 shares. The question now is hold for further gain or sell and re-invest in a stock with more upside potential. On the upside the baby boomer health needs should help this stock go higher. I have noticed that it tends to 'spike' (a little) when quarterly earning reports come out. I think for now I'll wait until it goes over 90 and then sell. Any ideas out there? Reply

    BDX, up or static? That's the dilemma for me. I bought at 27, but only 40 shares. It's been over 90 recently and seems to spike (some) when quarterly earnings are reported. I need cash for other buys so the question is: hold on for a bigger return (with the baby boomers retiring this stock should have a good long term return) or take the $ now and re-invest in something with greater potential. Right now I'm thinking, wait for it to go back above 90 and then sell. Any ideas out there? Reply

    Sorry, I meant "If THE auto manufacturers go..." not "If 'they'..." should have used my grammar checker! Reply

    If they auto manufacturers go, they will take a lot more than this bunch with them. The list could multiply by a bunch... it would not be pretty. Reply

    Don't wait for $150 oil. You can short-sell SUN, TSO, GM, CAL and TSN right now. Check out the website for more info. Reply

    A rather curious group. Any company with cheap energy at the core of its business model will be at risk as the price of energy climbs. DUH. Some companies will survive by changing their model. A lot wont or can't. How about a new list when oil hits $250. Reply

    DRYS - Cramer abandoned the Drybulk Shippers in December. He got out at a great time because they all tanked. He did miss their next great move up since mid January, a 50 - 60 per cent jump. But we are glad to have him back on board. Truly the most exciting and least talked about sector in the market place. Reply

    China Biotech Week in Review: News on All Fronts [view article]
    I would rate it a buy here. WYETH just gave up a key piece of information in that it can take 9 months to get a permit in China to create an R&D facility within the PRC. That as opposed to 30 days for permits in US & Europe. Given the economic gains (essentially cost savings) and workforce available not to mention the access to Chinese proprietary remedies it seems to me there is tremendous room for continued growth.

    WX is building more and new facilties Wyeth will increase CRO outsourcing from 25% to 30%, Pfizer and others which need to develop a fatter pipeline of products need the same economy of scale for R&D.

    Despite lofty valuations, I am confident this is a long term hold with great potential. I have a healthy position about to get larger at these prices. I recently bought trading shares and cashed them in on the last dip. The break below 19 gives us another opportunity.

    Dividend Aristocrats: Top Dividend Growers [view article]
    Did I miss something? Didn't NUE cut its dividend this year? I'm a big fan of dividend stocks, but this company's numbers in terms of dividend growth are misleading: there was a HUGE divy increase followed by a year in which the divy remained virtually unchanged, followed by a significant cut to its current level.

    If you want to talk overall (i.e. cumulative) returns, that's a different story, but this stock does not belong on this list.

    My analysis shows that the losses that you forgo in a bear market are far less than the gains that you miss in a bull market using DCAV.
