25 Cash Cows to Ride Out the Storm- Barron's [view article]
This is an environment where you want to focus on the lessons of many great investors and concentrate on Enduring Value. Businesses that have sustainable operations that will allow them to ride out this economic storm and benefit from re-investing into their own operations. There are a slew of companies trading at under 15x conservative forward earnings with a 3-4% yield that offer reasonable value for an investor.No, you might not make more than that dividend, but you're surely not going to lose as much as you would in other sectors such as large US financials or global equities facing crisis.

Dow Changes Since Last Time at 10,000 [view article]
This maybe once in a life time opportunity for many peopleto buy shares on these big companies. Imagine with the same money, now I can buy 10 shares or more instead of just 1 share not that long ago. Reply

Whidbey, I think in the long run that is true. But in the short run, who is going to buy the cool stuff? ReplyWe'd Better Brace for Massive Layoffs [view article]
This is too depressing for me. ReplyWe'd Better Brace for Massive Layoffs [view article]
"and decided to use technology in lieu of employees." WhidbeySure, and to finance this new technology the companies can go to the banks for loans, the banks will create new money and loan it out thereby creating inflation. In effect, the banks and the companies will loot the general populace and workers so that the worker's jobs can be eliminated. Sounds fair to me. Reply

Big Tech Prepares for Big Layoffs [view article]
What about rest of the economy and sectors... It seems we might be having some serious hard times ahead of us... my friends and colleagues on myinvestorsplace.com ... are beyond concerned...how can we not be concerned..?? Dow is just down about 700 points... Expect more job layoffs... why would we think otherwise?? ReplyWe'd Better Brace for Massive Layoffs [view article]
Suppose that unemployment rose significantly, and that most firms were pushed into reevaluating their capital/labor ratios, and decided to use technology in lieu of employees. It would lead to massive gains in efficiency and likely be the mother of a new birth of creativity and competitiveness. This is a disconnect that may be the start of a major reconstruction of the US, Western economy. Not EU because they have labor laws that forbid change, but say in China, Brazil and the USA. There is an real opportunity here, celebrate it! Replyng

I have to agree with 'notsomar'; who can you believe: nobody, nowhere, especially now. All the research, rating agencies (S&P, Fitch, Moody's), BOD's are full of self-serving, incompetent fools. The rating agencies should pay for this mess, along with the incompetent banks and greed on Wall Street who are taking us all down. So much for 'self-regulation' and laissez-faire in the market. Who can have any confidence in Wall Street now??? ReplyWe'd Better Brace for Massive Layoffs [view article]
Let's see. We've tried regulating a corrupt and unstable banking system and that stifled innovation. We've tried deregulating a corrupt and unstable banking system and that has led to the current crisis.Gee, is it possible that an honest banking would require little regulation and also be stable?

I just love Apple down here, I'm more for big cash position than dividends, and I'll probably 2x put the earnings release (that worked last time). Maybe do that with a few this season, I know Fast Money doesn't want to get in front of the GE release this week. Everyone worries but why not pick the stocks you like and short the general market, or take a put position when you need it. Reply25 Cash Cows to Ride Out the Storm- Barron's [view article]
The idea behind this article is to look for companies that are not over-leveraged and large enough to negotiate reasonable short-term loans with the battered finanicials whom are to keen risky what little capital they have on riskier small/mid sized companies. This article is about strategy and not tactics- good food for thought. ReplyOptimist

I like her thought process.. but the stocks are not in my line up. Ok.. I went defensive.. they do not move up much but they don't move down much either. A few great stocks which are now become a hold for the dividend they are starting to produce. NUE is 3.4 and climbing. Why not get something for your wait? Add on dips.can they go down another 10 points? maybe, probably but what the hell.. dollar cost them down. Of course this is if you sold into strength last week. I stay with FCX MO GE JPM and BAC. Pay me some divvies and I will wait a little more patiently. Sleep a little better in the evening.disclaimer: I am as pissed as anyone losing 66 K this qtr. in my 401K but trying to stay positive and look beyond this minute in time. Reply

Re SYK - they are down less than most other stocks in past months.I wonder if there is pressure that they will have to lower prices because of health care expense concerns, no matter who wins the election. Reply
