  • Obama vs. McCain: Which Candidate is Better for Ethanol and Equipment Companies? [View article]
    On balance, McCain is the best (of the worst) candidates for the stock market in general. Obama's talk is that of a socialist and while McCain is no great shakes, as in the past we are given the usual choice. Who is the least likely to do damage? It is unfortunate, but Politics isn't a choice for people with talent. We get the dregs of society. A look at the vermin we have running the Congress, in both parties should be convincing enough. That a martinet like Harry Reid and a douche bag like Nancy Pelosi running the House convinces me that not a member of congress could run a business and turn a profit. When Reid announces to the world that "oil and coal make you sick!" and they refuse to allow drilling for oil inn spite of $4.00 gasoline, it shows how far from reality these people are.
    They live cloistered lives, are driven around in S.U.V.'s and Limo's, fly in private jets and then tell the rest of us how to live our lives. If the American people had any brains, they would toss out ALL the bums, of both parties and start over.

  • Investing in Dividend Paying Companies [View article]
    One comment worth considering. I purchased 1,000 shares of MO over 28 years ago and re-invested the dividends for over 20 years until I had amassed 20,000 shares (including splits). At the current time, I hold 20,000 MO, 20,000 PM and 10,000 KFT (I sold about 3,000). My current income from this original investment is over $70,000 a year, twice what I paid for the original Investment. I also have long time positions in other blue chip companies that have multiplied many times from my original investment.
