Cramer's Mad Money - 5 Mistakes Amateur Investors Make (7/31/09)

Nothing wrong with these five tips.

Why Chasing Yields Will Lead to Disappointment

Having had the luck or foresight to buy Payx at 21, having missed ADP before it's rise, I feel good about my long term prospects for dividends and appreciation.
Shouda couda wouda.....bought ADP before it's dividend increase and more of Payx @ 20-21.
But not complaining with a loaf of bread under my arm.

How High Will the Price of Oil Go?

Regarding comment by 422955 about MLP.
The extra tax tools you purchase. Would they be recovered under the tax code and become a deduction thus costing 0 ?
You can also call the IRS and they will help you over the phone to understand and how to report these gains.

MLPs I guess require a little more thinking and work at tax time but a 15% return seems worth the effort.

Rising Rates: Modern Day Version of Sisyphus

So glad as a parent I can pass off any failure of my children onto the city, state, teachers, too much money in the system, too little money, etc.etc. blah! blah! blah!.

You are all right. Just do not point a finger at me.

Should GE Shareholders Sell to Protest MSNBC's Left Leaning News Bias?

I buy stocks to make money and do not fool myself that I am some kind of owner. I don't care what they sell.

To apply your criteria to it's logical conclusion you would not want to be buying any company with anything to do with Communism. So no companys dealing with China.

Of course to be really true to your convictions you will have to live someplace other than the U.S.A. since our country deals with China all the time.

Good luck on your social mission.

Paychex Inc.: Strong Balance Sheet, Solid Dividend History

Have watched this company for quite a while but never bought. How does it compare to ADP?
Thanks for your time and effort.

Ghost Malls: Coming to Your Town

What a great discussion. Here is my two cents.
Shopping at the mall became/is entertainment. If some malls close, what will those folks do to entertain themselves? And you have to figure those folks probably don't have as much money as they did a year ago.

If my premise is correct who benifits? Where will discretionary dollars go?

Cramer's Stop Trading! General Electric Brings Bad Credit to Light (12/18/08)

s&p had swks as a buy for months. Blink, the company is all of a sudden no good. GE is GE and S&P sucks wind.

Dow Price Targets from Last November

They are less accurate than a 5 day weather forecast.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Thank you Eli.

Retirements on Hold

With this most recent series of fiasco's does it still make sense to push for doing away with SS for the next generation and privatize their retirement?

Slack Labor Market in Pictures

Have to agree with notsosmart. Those unemployment numbers never include folks whose unemployment has run out, nor does it include those who just stopped looking.

Do We Take Water for Granted?

If history is any indicator of the future, acting on our water shortage will be similar to our acting on our fossil fuel energy/enviroment problems. Not much will happen until we are in crisis mode.
That said, I hold a position in WTR and other such utilities. Most of these have been taken down in price during the past six months and present decent entry points.

A Beginner’s Guide to Green Investing

Wow! What a great introduction to investing for the future. Thank you.

Time To Start Buying Some Dogs?

I do not trust the bank dividends. WB sid they would not cut and now are thinking about making a second. There are more shoes to drop on these thousand leggers.

GE and T I own and would like to buy them on serious dips.

Do not know a lot about Dupont but what little I know agrees with your view.

I would not go near any of the others.
