  • What's the Fair Value for the Dow Jones Industrial Average? [View article]
    Good luck picking the fair value of 30 stocks never mind just one. Averages are like putting your head in the oven and feet in the frig and saying "on average I feel good".

  • Wall Street Earnings Indicators Weigh Heavily  [View article]
    Cash for clunkers was a social program not a economic one. We may have boosted new car sales but hurt used cars and auto part store sales. It was nothing more than a transfer of wealth using taxpayer dollars. Why should I give $4500 to my neighbor to buy a new car?

  • Gone Nowhere in 8 Years [View article]
    The stock market is for the rich! 401k was never intended to be a retirement - was a sub-paragraph. Invest what your employer will match, then stop if you aren't totally out of debt. (no mortgage as well) You need at least $10,000 to invest. You must have protection from job loss and medical coverage. If you don't have at least six months of paychecks in the bank, don't invest. Invest only in a company not a stock. Understand how the company makes money and be able to explain it to your 10yr old.

  • Dow 30 Overbought / Oversold Edition [View article]
    How exactly did you come up with target price? A higher or lower target price makes all the difference in the world. I own several of the DOW and believe your targets are set too low.

    Obama says no international experience so picks Joe Biden. Then O goes to Europe and disses on the USA all the while sending Biden to throw out the first pitch at Baltimore. Hello!

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    Why not just say we want our $170B bailout money BEFORE you pay any bonuses. Ofcourse, why did they pay 100% value on CDO's to foreign banks? Do you get the feeling our government talks the talk but don't walk the walk when it comes to taxpayer money. Is the $160M bonus money a smoke screen for the wasted $170B?

    Good reflection on the Dogs! Goes to show no one strategy works all the time. If investing were simple everyone could do it. Do it well that is.

  • Best and Worst Earnings Reports This Season [View article]
    Do you think maybe what the market did on the day of the report might have had something to do with how a stock did? Probably a longer view is needed. Like what the stock did before and after reporting and how it compared to overall market.

  • Investing in Dividend Paying Companies [View article]
    430% for 10years. Let's see isn't that 4% a year? What happens if you have reinvested your dividends thru a DRIP? If you had only selection critieria for picking a stock, companies that increase dividends over a long period of time (10 years or more). Google Dividend Aristocrats.
