    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??? Reply

    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. Reply

    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. Reply

    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

    I have always believed you will make more money in the market if you buy low and sell high. Barron's is a good provider of information, but I use them as a tool and not for my final decision. If you think back and look at the recommendations from last year to now when all of the analyst were making recommendations. None of them were on the money. Morgan Stanley and the financials were the worst. Buy good strong companies that are down and just sit till they go up.
    My choices are the gaming companies. MGM, LVS, WYNN and BYD. All way down and strong companies.

    the insiders dont even trust each other at this point.you cant believe anybody about anything.homework & due diligence,charts,graph... are meaningless if the #s cant be believed.ceo lying is the name of the game.the bod's are self serving & i guess the word stockholder rarely comes up in the boardroom.so throw the dice,spin the wheel,etc. you may get lucky.

    Another strategy would be to buy stocks with nice dividends and hedge your stock purchase with the appropriate short-ETF. For instance, if you bought $5,000 BAC or PNW you might offset it with $2500 of SEF. Yes, if the market tuns around before you get out of SEF after this bailout you miss a little upside but you still have a nice dividend that you wouldn't have had otherwise. Reply

    I think KO should be added to "is now the time to buy" list. With the economy sinking, brand name sodas and bottled water are going to be a luxury many people will forego. Especially in emerging markets. I am looking for their earnings to take a hit unless the economy reverses the downward spiral.

    Dividend yields are nice if the stock price holds up. But a good yield isn't much of a safety net with the share price drop many companies have had. It takes too long to recover. And you still have to hope they don't cut the dividend. In my opinion, in this environment you are better off to forget dividends and look for companies that have a reasonable chance to avoid a further big selloff.     Reply

    well some of us borned cranky and will cranky.No matter what you do they ll never be happy.I don t mind the darts since I always do my homework and I like ideas. Don t live day to day ,instead get ready for the good days and there will be some, I am not suicidal yet. The only question mark for me is SYK , nice sector but moving 2 ways only, sideways or downways, why? I would like to buy some but after watching it for a year now I am not too impressed. Any thoughts to share with us on this one? Reply
