    This looks like a dartboard. Pick 3 sector ETFs, 3 little followed stocks
    and sleep better at night.

    Every American should go to Denmark at least once. As a light skinned African American whom visited there several times for work, at first I felt like I was in the south during the 50's/60's. After people realized I was American and was open & willing to learn thier culture, I was treated well by many!
    I was fortunate to learn the Danes deep history and culture while travelling to various areas and historal artifacts. It's a beautiful country! My travels provided me a real opportunity to understand why many Danes come across as proud and stubborn to many in the US as they have a long history which they are trying to protect while we as Americans do not seem to care about our short history. These days most Americans seem to look forward to the 4th of July and other National Holidays as a time to take-off from our hustle & bustle lifestyles and care less about their true meaning.
    We should highly consider closing our borders from thier lessons learned. Once they adopted our western ways, the flood gates opened and Muslims arrived to take advantage of thier system. DK tends to focus on thier own people and to preserve what they have.
    Although I'm a proud American and will defend it agianst freind/foe and die for every American (including our Racist and anti-war activist), I'm somewhat ashamed of the way we conduct our lives (at times) and hope someday we can learn from other proud nations (such DK). Instead we seem to focus on today, Hollywood, and the negative areas of our lives versus getting off our butts and doing something to improve and protect what we have and those that have given their lives to defend our freedom...shame on us! I feel sorry for Danes unable to speak out...this has been going on for a long time in our country. They made the mistake of trying to adopt our western ways...and look where it got them!
    Sad! Soon they will be unable to properly parent thier children anymore....

    Denmark isn't quite so happy anymore. Large increase of Muslims have left the country with terrorist fear. Always had freedom of speech and the press but now finding they can not critique Muslim life, Middle eastern countries, other than Israel of course, and no cartoons of Mohammed. Reply

    4-5 index etfs probably would do it as well. don't tell me you can keep track and properly analyze and follow all of your holdings. way too many.
    zero value added.

    If that is your replacement list can we see the rest of what you currently own. At first glance it seems like you may toss the majority of your energy, financials, and tech holdings. Can we get a sector percentage to give some clarification? Here I will make your task much easier, stocks on your list I would hang on to would include: AA, AYR, BDK, BKS, CBI, CMI, COMS, CPB, CSCO, DD, DRYS, DUK, FCX, FTO, HELE, HNZ, HOC, HON, IPSU, IR, JCI, KCI, KMX, NVS, OSK, PAYX, PPC, PPG, PRU, RTN, SNY, TSO, TTC, TXT, VE, VZ, WAG, WY.

    David, it's nice to hear you are in agreement. Actually, I have been in dry-bulk for a while, and bought NM because they bought a port terminal with grain silos in Uruguay. Its heavily asset-based, even if heavily leveraged, but I favor asset based equities. The Uruguay purchase, and they are keeping the previous owners on-board, is another key factor that really sets NM apart from the other dry-bulk shippers. BTW - I invest only in dry-bulk. Less risk of environmental disasters than tankers.

    NM is a good bet. It has excellent value. It has an extremely low PE and FPE. It also has an excellent Price to Book value ratio. Further it has both a new fleet in South America (for the river traffic mostly) which is supposed to begin adding 35% to EBITDA beginning in the 4th quarter of this year. It got pushed further downward in the recent market move in that direction, so it is an excellent buy now. Reply
