    Nollier,

    how much you made today on AXP as after 3 years you may be well long dead just as everybody else.
    If one don't know to make money today,then gardening is another very engaging proposition.

    Good write up. Just curious as to why you feel AXP is a little ify here? Most people categorize AXP as a credit card company when in fact credit cards are a very some piece of their overall business. A large percentage of their revenues come from merchant fees, processing fees, i.e. closed loop network. I would argue that they are a pay card company. They also have the travel business going for them. I agree they became greedy by entering certain markets with their credit card marketing campaigns. This has caused them pain in the short term. However, this is an iconic brand that has become cheap for the first time in a long time. These scenarios happen infrequently. Those who buy or have bought AXP will be rewarded over the next three years. Yes, AXP could get cheaper but I would bet money managers would add to their positions if it occurs. Cheers! Reply

    5 Impressive Stocks in This Difficult Market [view article]
    Are you kidding? This is an article? Shouldn't there be some useful information here?

    Well, here's an article of my own. My five best performing stocks this year are Boston Beer Company (SAM), Wellcare Group (WCG), Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX), Verenium (VRNM) and Ceradyne(CRDN). I bought them all at recent lows and they've done very well for me. Probably that means you should buy them and they'll do well for you too. Right?

    I hold common stock in four of your listed five, and they've been stalwarts in my portfolio during 2008 (knock-on-wood...). Reply

    You have not said anything regarding why you like ISRG. I thought an article in the Barron's a couple of weeks ago makes great sense. Reply

    At one time I heard Teeranova saying that he has a long position in CME. Is he a member of NYMEX? Reply

    Johnson & Johnson: The Type of Growth Stock I Favor [view article]
    i agree about Apple, (i own some of the stock). when i use Warren Buffet terms, it all fits as a long term investment (though he doesn't invest in tech)... it has a great moat: terrific reputation, huge cash reserves, no debt, great multiple products and streams of revenue, and innovative vision. plus, it has the world to expend into..i think they plan to be in 70 countries within a year and in spite of the economy, they continue to grow profits.

    and they do something most companies never do...they apologize for their mistakes and correct them as fast as possible. i just got another update and apology for mobileme...a launch that, in retrospect, came too early because the launch of the second iphone unleashed pent up demand that had been hard to estimate, so Apple was overwhelmed.
    but i'm sure other companies would love to have this 'high level grumble'.
    the point here, is that the company is very stable and responsible, as well as respected, and it's here to stay and a good long term investment.

    That is a beautiful portfolio. Your buy points seem a bit "toppy" to me, (hence the moniker buyitcheap) but 10 years from now, what difference will it make, really. Great selection and diversification. One to put on your radar: BMR - biomedical realty reit. Reply

    Dow 30 Trading Ranges [view article]
    What is more important than listing trading ranges on these Dow components is listing the number of those Dow components that are being manipulated by their individual specialists for their own personal profits. Alcoa's specialist for example has set his issue up for a major decline in price in the coming two months.

    For more information on how this is done click on my web page and read the stock reports on AA and also read the documentation on how these individuals manipulate their issues at the expense of the investor. You have nothing to lose except the amount of time it takes you to read the information and you have a great deal to gain if you follow what they are doing and buy when they buy and sell when they sell.
