    • 3M Company: A Winning Stock At A Great Price [view article]
      I don't know if accuracy or attention to detail are important attributes when commenting on financial matters, like recommending which stocks to buy or not, but I could hardly keep count of all the inaccuracies contained in this article. First, 3M is not a "nearly century-old" company, it's a 105 year old company. Secondly, 3M does not make flat screen tvs or asphalt shingles. They make brightness enhancing films for flat screens and granules for shingle products. Third, 3M is not just starting to expand operations overseas, they have been in over 60 countries for more than 30 years. In particular, they have been in Asia (China specifically) for more than 20 years and all told, more than 60 percent of revenue is generated outside the US. Finally, 3M's YTD high was October 10 with an intra-day high of 97.00, while the high closing price was October 5 at 95.85 (not 95.82).
      I just think if you are going to actually take the time to write a review of a stock and ultimately recommend a buy or sell, you should do a better job of getting the facts straight.
