Year to Date Performance of Dow 30 Members [view article]
AIG employees used to claim that the letters, "AIG" stood for "Ain't It Great?" Looks like the Awful Insurance Giant is headed for the Already Interred Graveyard. ReplyYear to Date Performance of Dow 30 Members [view article]
Long term investments in JNJ and XOM among others are especially rewarding when the dividend is considered. Currently my JNJ is yielding 8% and XOM is 6.5%. They are both in dividend reinvesting plans so my holdings are growing at that rate. What's not to like? ReplyYear to Date Performance of Dow 30 Members [view article]
Didn't GM suspend (or was considering) their dividend? ReplyYear to Date Performance of Dow 30 Members [view article]
I am buying the bottom 4....for long term investments. Plus nice dividends to compound. ReplyYear to Date Performance of Dow 30 Members [view article]
At the risk of stating the obvious what this interesting line up shows is that timing (and maybe more than a little bit of luck) is everything in this market. The reality is any one of these can have made or lost one money depending on entry point. It seems like trading on fundamentals is a far second to timing, psychology and luck. In this market I have bought positions that seem fundamentally sound and even with charts that look good that shift in days and have had to just dump them to cut losses, except for BA, ha, ha - see above. What is really bad cutting those losses on great stocks was still the right choice months later. I can only figure that eventually great values like XOM will come back into favor. In this market I am still buying but only very selectively and smaller amounts than usual. If something pops I will tend to sell and take a profit and hold nothing long term except several conservative dividend payors and for better or worse some Vanguard mutual funds for my IRA but that is another story...

Exxon-Mobil (XOM): Can someone explain to me exactly how the most profitable company in the world with decent revenue and earnings growth can be DOWN 16% year to date? Here is the past performance results of XOM,2008 YTD: -16%
2007: +24.3%
2006: + 39.1%
2005: +11.8%
2004: +28.0%
2003: +20.6%
I would assume that their dividend is the safest that you can find in this economy. So what am I missing here? Is XOM a great value play at these levels or what? Reply

Any votes for the stocks which have lost over 15% but don't deserve the punishment? I vote American Express and Pfizer. Pfizer's pipeline may look dry, but they have the financial clout to partner anyone with a hot drug, or to buy them outright. American Express' problems are overstated, I think. Replyninja

i second that! ReplyDirt as a Growth Industry [view article]
I think a much bigger issue is that some of the best farm land is being paved over. While compaction and such is certainly an issue - like this article says it will come back, but once land is paved over it's gone forever. And the fact that most major cities are located on or near the best farm land make the problem that much worse. ReplyDow Price Targets from Last November [view article]

What a joke analysts really are. I watched Bear Stearns and Countrywide get sold off cheap, yet analysts still had high target prices, ridiculous and a total waste of time.My tip is to live as far away from Wall Street as possible and ignor this mob. Reply

If you want to be successful, you have to be able to do it yourself and not rely on so called "experts" like the anal ysts. ReplyDow Price Targets from Last November [view article]
