      "It can be dangerous to spend heavily in the near term to chase uncertain long term results." Basically, that means that a company should never develop new products. If Henry Ford followed your logic, we all would still be driving around with Model Ts. Sep 28 01:11 PM

      Interesting chart. I never realized that JNJ was lagging the S&P 500 by such a large margin. Sep 28 09:25 AM

      How does your DCF-model work? Morningstar's fair value estimate is $57, quite a long shot from your $74. Sep 25 02:02 AM
    • BP: Dividend Stock Analalys [view article]
      You surely meant that the dividend payout ratio (not the yield) and the P/E ratio are much lower than in the last ten years. Sep 21 04:07 PM

      @ Jeff J.

      Maybe it's because your lawyer friends are dumb. Get a load of this: Due to five stock splits between 1978 and 2008, 100 shares of Johnson & Johnson bought in September 1978 for $ 82 apiece are now worth around $ 331.200.       Sep 21 03:52 PM

      I have no clue what or where the Great Plains are, but we have tens of thousands of wind towers over here in Germany. They are ugly, deface the landscape, are noisy as hell and throw shadows that are half a mile long. House prices plummet whenever there is a wind farm developed nearby. Moreover, wind is an unreliable energy source. People will come to realize that wind power is only a pretty epensive fad and does nothing to relieve us from our dependence on oil and nuclear power. I would not bet my money on wind power stocks. Nonetheless I own GE stock, but for other reasons than wind power turbines. Aug 23 03:05 PM

    • Potash Corp: Dynamics of Supply and Demand Drive Earnings Growth [view article]
      Great article! The fundamentals for the ag stocks or still alright. After this nice pullback, I added POT and Monsanto to my portfolio. Aug 05 11:43 AM
    • Buy, Sell or Hold: What to Do with Potash Corp.? [view article]
      Market timing is a fool's game. Hold on to POT and add at pullbacks. With an earnings growth rate of 40% over the next 3-5 years, at 18x next year's earnings this stock is a steal. Aug 04 08:22 AM
    • Casino Stocks Scream Value Play [view article]
      Sometimes I don't understand stock investing. I bought BYD at $ 11.30, having thought it was a bargain, watched the stock in free-fall and finally threw in the towel at around $ 8.50, locking in my losses forever. Now they mothball their semi-finished 4.5 billion Echelon Place project and suspend the dividend "for the time being" (which is to say forever) - and the stock soars more than 20 % to $12.

    • Exxon Mobil's Record Profit: How Much Is Too Much? [view article]
      The guys at Exxon don't even share these huge profits with their shareholders. A 1.9 %-yield is nothing to write home about. Conservative investors should rather consider Chevron (CVX). Jul 31 04:33 PM

      Waiting for a dip can cost you dearly. Trying to time the market will get you nowhere. Colgate is a good case in point. Apart from the fact that CL already corrected (down from 80.98 in January to 68.21 a couple of days ago), by standing on the sidelines you would have missed today's big rally (CL up more than 8 %).

    • Looking for the Perfect Dividend Stock [view article]
      I don't like MCHP as a dividend play. The microchip business is highly cyclical and competitive. For how long will they be able to pay that gigantic dividend?

      @Walt 17: Beg to differ. Some blue chips are able to increase their dividend substantially over long periods of time. Johnson & Johnson managed to increase the dividend at an average 14.4 % annually - for 30 years.       Jul 29 04:00 PM

      Why would you own a stock with an annual dividend growth of merely 1 % (ConEd) when inflation has averaged 3.8 % annually since 1947? Jul 29 11:45 AM
    • PotashCorp: UBS Analyst Cautious Despite Record Quarter [view article]
      POT is by no means expensive. As you can read above, POT is currently trading at a multiple of 8.9 times next year's earnings. Doesn't sound that pricey to me. I don't care about rotational shifts. The global ag market is in a secular uptrend. The potash business has high barriers to entry for competitors and POT controls the majority of excess potash capacity. The fundamentals are sound and POT is a terrific long-term investment.

      @mythoughts: Finally somebody had the guts to speak out loudly. The choice between B. Hussein Obama and McCain should be a no-brainer.       Jul 28 12:04 AM
