    This looks like a dartboard. Pick 3 sector ETFs, 3 little followed stocks
    and sleep better at night.

    General Discussion on FRPT
    Now that we know about FRPT being naked shorted, we can assume that Chris Cox will dig up his old rule (never really enforced) to end naked shorting of Financial stocks, as he threatened.
    But....will he extend this protection for Force Protection and other stocks involved in keeping Americans safe, in battle or on the home front?
    'Naw' you say? 'Only the financial institutions deserve to be
    protected from this illegality. Let the others fend for themselves against thieves who steal their stock, sell it short and never return it. Sometimes, shorting waaay over the float, even.
    Unless and until equal justice for all investors and all public companies is enjoyed, investing in any stock today can become a nightmare tomorrow. The manipulators and speculators are fully in charge...the foxes are now running the hen houses and greedily eating their prey!
    We must all demand that the SEC follow its own rules and that no one, no matter how deep their pockets at re-election time, continues to break the rules and ruin lives along the way.
    Stocks are people too...and people are investors.
    It's time we, all, demand that this naked shorting end...and as the companies and consumers united to get the Senate and House to come up with bills to end the rampant oil speculation, so must we force their hand.
    Senator Bennett is the only one who has really seemed to care about this serious and timely issue. he should be called and thanked for his courage in confronting Chris Cox in the Banking hearings ~ insisting that this cancerous naked shorting that has killed off so many companies with once great potential, end.~ absolutely and totally.
    Otherwise, if it continues, it will destroy the otcbb, the small cap nasdaq places where the least cared about, the most abused, unfortunately, now, trade.
    It's time to end this insanity!

    4-5 index etfs probably would do it as well. don't tell me you can keep track and properly analyze and follow all of your holdings. way too many.
    zero value added.

    If that is your replacement list can we see the rest of what you currently own. At first glance it seems like you may toss the majority of your energy, financials, and tech holdings. Can we get a sector percentage to give some clarification? Here I will make your task much easier, stocks on your list I would hang on to would include: AA, AYR, BDK, BKS, CBI, CMI, COMS, CPB, CSCO, DD, DRYS, DUK, FCX, FTO, HELE, HNZ, HOC, HON, IPSU, IR, JCI, KCI, KMX, NVS, OSK, PAYX, PPC, PPG, PRU, RTN, SNY, TSO, TTC, TXT, VE, VZ, WAG, WY.

    David, it's nice to hear you are in agreement. Actually, I have been in dry-bulk for a while, and bought NM because they bought a port terminal with grain silos in Uruguay. Its heavily asset-based, even if heavily leveraged, but I favor asset based equities. The Uruguay purchase, and they are keeping the previous owners on-board, is another key factor that really sets NM apart from the other dry-bulk shippers. BTW - I invest only in dry-bulk. Less risk of environmental disasters than tankers.

    NM is a good bet. It has excellent value. It has an extremely low PE and FPE. It also has an excellent Price to Book value ratio. Further it has both a new fleet in South America (for the river traffic mostly) which is supposed to begin adding 35% to EBITDA beginning in the 4th quarter of this year. It got pushed further downward in the recent market move in that direction, so it is an excellent buy now. Reply

    David, In late January you liked VSH. Today it is much cheaper, but every quarter they seem to take a new non-recurring charge that turns out to be anything but non-recurring.The stock was moving up from 8.5 to 10.5 and now after a couple of terrible weeks, its back under 9 again. It looks cheap to me, but I don't see any catalyst on the horizon for it to go up. What are your thoughts today on VSH? Reply
