Picking Some Stocks to Survive This Market

@Chicagawaukee: "I would add some low priced, higher yielding stocks such as DOW, ED, DUK, MRK, until the market calms down." ABSOLUTELY! I've bought some ED on recent dips below 40. A 6% yield is nice to hang onto, and I don't think we're shutting off the grid anytime soon.

@JonT & TomB: Again, ABSOLUTELY! MSFT is DIW. Server rooms are going Linux...there goes your enterprise OS $. Consumer is DIW. OpenOffice = no need for MS Office in these economic conditions. I see little reason to expect much from MSFT for at least several years!

I'm going with some yields: ED, INTC (for the long haul - it will suffer from the short-term consumer dip like MSFT, but has much better product & strategy!), NLY (benefits from steep yield curve & declining LIBOR...& the Feds are backstopping the mortgage debt. Currently yielding 18%...what's not to like?), KO (declining commodity prices, still growing abroad & continued expansion in non-carbonated segment).

Nuclear Winter Pick - Cramer's Mad Money (9/24/08)

@2wheelrider:

"But the fact remains, the economy needs liquidity and the best proposal so far has been the $700B TARP plan."

No. The best plan has been insuring the debt, not buying it. And massive cuts in government and taxes.

um...17 billion in, 18 billion out? that's how.

Goldman's $200 Oil Call and the Hurricane Premium Theory

To jwkjr...no. We are spending there, but we are seeing benefits as well, such as defense contractors remaining a source of steady jobs (the importance of which is not to be underestimated in these times) and the beneficiary of government spending...and the dependability of Iraqi oil has increased, leading to one less source of supply disruption. Not to be confused with the fallacious "blood for oil" slogan, btw - we saw how that, ironically, was not true, but rather the U.N. cadre was more than willing to neglect the plight of the Iraqi people in order to continue exploiting the "food for oil" program! No, we are doing good there, helping build stability for those people...and one more nation with a stable government is good for world economies everywhere!
