Best and Worst Dow, S&P 500 Performers YTD [view article]
BSC is very likely to be removed from SP for "lack of representation". ReplyBest and Worst Dow, S&P 500 Performers YTD [view article]
I see that I have offended some here. Truth does that sometimes.Want to knowwhat eally offends? Tke a look at WMT's ten year chart!
Dead money, and a LOSER when nominal inflation and a 70% dollar are factored in.
Here is another curiousity: the best DOW 30 performer last year was Honeywell, yet it was dropped from the index. Typical "sell your winners
and keep your weeds" strategy.
I would have done the opposite, dumping the retail DOG's: WMT and HD. They are not industrials anyway...they don't produce anything or provide real service; they are money traders for goods others make. In WMT's case, those goods are NOT USA.
Worse-Mart: first they kill our towns, then they kill our urban centers ( when allowed in ), then they kill our country.
But, go ahead.....take a good look at that ten year chart and tell me that this flatline is a good investment. Reply

Leser is absolutely right about the Chinese being slaves in their own country - and therefore not buying their products in protest. My hat is off to Leser for the comments. For those readers who want a "non-mass media" appraisal about what is really going on in the "New" China of today may I recommend a book that I have recently published entitled, CHINA HOUSE. It can be viewed on Amazon.com and ordered from that site. If you really care about what is really going on in the PRC this book is essential reading. Keep up the open commentary - both political and economic. I find it impossible separating the two. ReplyBest and Worst Dow, S&P 500 Performers YTD [view article]
Although I hold Wal-Mart stock, I feel Kranky has comments of worth. In a free forum, each of us has the write to express our thoughts. It may not have numbers, but the article does show some thoughts influencing the numbers of Wal-Mart, perhaps in a more significant way than one would consider. I have friends who wouldn't buy anything in Wal-Mart as long as there is a mom and pop shop around where they can make their purchases. I respect that, although I will go to Wal-Mart to purchase goods. I sincerely try to avoid the products from China, precisely because of the comment Kranky makes about the people in China being virtual (or in some cases actual) slaves. The negative comments about WMT will affect bottom lines and do have merit in being expressed. It's America, not China, where a point of view that may seem a digression to some should be tolerated for the benefit of knowing that we are all free to express our thoughts civilly, because they will be different than someone elses. So, I guess those who don't like the content have to practice skimming, as probably many people did with this post. ReplyAINSWORTH PE
Is Checkpoint a Potential Takeover Target? [view article]
GIL SHWED HAS BEEN ASKED ABOUT SELLING HIS COMPANY IN THE PAST. HE HAS REPLIED THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT FOR SALE. HE IS INTERESTED IN ACQUIRING OTHERS TO BUILD HIS FOOTPRINT IN THE SECURITY ARENA. SO ALL YOU TAKEOVER GURUS, GET A LIFE AND DO NOT LOOK AT (CHKP) FOR YOU SALVATION. ReplyBest and Worst Dow, S&P 500 Performers YTD [view article]
WMT is the news of the week. Finally a breakout after three years of bottoming. This is either a bullish signal or a tease. A week or two should give some indication.I would agree with the Missouri man. This forum is no place for moaners, whingers,and the otherwise innumerate. I hope this site doesn't descend to the depths of yahoo message boards. Once again, a challenge for the editors of the site exists. Please edit detritutus. Reply

KRANKY, If I'm reading you correctly.. you are " kinda " down on Wal-Mart.I think this site is better served by omitting your political views and stay with the numbers, PEG, P/E, etc. Just a Missouri boy view. Reply

Time to start nibbling on the loosers: big cap tech, Healthcare & possibly some of the financials. AAPL @ 125, UNH @ 32. Six months from now the loosers will probably be the winners. I also think commodities (i.e. dry goods) will continue going up, however, I like to the dry bulk shippers for that play (i.e. DRYS). ReplyGoogle’s App War with Microsoft Ramping Up [view article]

Benioff approached Cisco last October so this is old news. Given the Webex deal was done in 10 days and that they are now pitching Oracle it doesn't look good for a Cisco/Salesforce marriage ReplyBest and Worst Dow, S&P 500 Performers YTD [view article]
I see some good value in that Dow 30 worst YTD chart... ReplyBest and Worst Dow, S&P 500 Performers YTD [view article]
Curious that in this crappy market, the top DOW stock is the junkiest company in America!Worse-Mart, that sells cheap plastic junk made by semi-slaves in China.
Worse-Mart, that treats their employees like disposable garbage.
Worse-Mart, that kills once thriving communities and turns them into pits of poverty.
Worse-Mart, that instructs their non-living wage slaves how to collect off the public dole, just so they do not have to pay them decently.
Crappy market...even Crappier company.
No real american would ever shop there or invest in this paradigm of greed and ugliness! Reply

Sure the Google Apps lack some features, but I already don't see the need to cough $200 for MS Office. ReplyIs Checkpoint a Potential Takeover Target? [view article]
Thanks. I'll be faxing my broker tomorrow morning and advising him to sell my 100 shares of Bear Sterns, and to use the proceeds to buy Checkpoint. Reply
