Buying a Buffett Portfolio [view article]
I am wondering how much you can trust and listen to the advice in this article, if the author does note even spell the name of "Procter & Gamble" correctly - isn't that funny? ReplyAll About Investing in Agricultural Land [view article]
You are a few years too late (or too early) with this article. Over the next year or two ag commodities, barring a major weather problem, will fall in price, as will land values. Better farming practices and technological advances through seed technology should boost yields and bring down prices, especially for the grains. That, combined with a slowdown in the world economy from high interest rates, tightening credit and recent inflationary forces will take their toll.

dick,Sorry. Can't give individual or position specific advice through this medium.
There is not sufficient information in this article to determine what you should do with the stocks or their options.
You or your advisor must dig into the data for CITI and the industry to make an informed guess about the future of CITI stock.
As you know the market is quite fickle recently, but then with Leaps, you have the luxury of taking a longer view.
It may be easier to prognosticate about a security representing basket of banks that about a specific bank, but even there the surprises keep coming.
I have written several other articles about the banks that are published at Seeking Alpha and on my blog. Collectively they should be of more use to you than this article alone.
Your broker most likely has reports from S&P or other major research sources which you should read as well. Then read all you can about the sector and CITI at Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Reuters and elsewhere.
You may have a long-term winner or a loser, but if you are a winner, you may experience periods of great pain on the way to victory. You need a well reasoned logic for being in a position when it goes against you in order to stay in. Reply

It does not matter who is president since the task is beyond a human being. I like the dividends because they are nontaxable if held, or acquired in a Roth IRA. Be creative, the government does not want to support SS, so they will allow more freedom to the self-help crowd. I am not totally despondent but nearly so.

There is no doubt that the day may come where the choice will be dance or eat. At that point in time there is little doubt that the cherished I-pods of today will find their way to pawnshop shelves, in a great transfer of wealth to Ham Sandwich's.One law that will never be repealed is that of supply and demand. And on a planet with the increasing population of ours the demand for food can only increase proportionately. Reply

mikeg3 and Just Some Guy:Based on your questions, I have added the following to the end of the post on our site:
Post Script:
We received a request to clarify the meaning of FY1, FY2 and FY3; and a suggestion that if it may refer to history and could alternatively be labeled 2007, 2006 and 2005.
FY 1 is the first prior fiscal year.
FY 2 is the second prior fiscal year.
FY 3 is the third prior fiscal year.
It would be inappropriate to use 2007, 2006 and 2005, because that would tend to suggest a calendar year basis for the data versus a fiscal year basis. Additionally, different companies have different fiscal years.
For example, if one company has a fiscal year ending December 31 and other has a fiscal year ending June 30, then as of July 2008, the first company is in fiscal 2008 and the second company is in fiscal 2009.
Note that for GAAP purposes the "year" number (e.g. 2007 versus 2006) is based on the date on which the fiscal year ends, whereas for tax purposes the year number is based on the date on which the year begins.
For these reasons first, second and third prior fiscal years as FY1, FY2 and FY3 is more accurate, and is the convention for stock data reporting. Reply

I don't get the FY* headings either, unless 2007,6,5? ReplyAll About Investing in Agricultural Land [view article]
Great article ! Was just reading Jim Rogers yesterday & was happy to see all of this info today. Also happen to enjoy anything interesting about the old West, so that bit of family history was enjoyed. Reply
