Cramer's Stop Trading! Newspapers Are Doomed (11/10/09)

This is America, not the USSR. If the people wanted to read Pravda (the NYT and the Post), then they would. Since we aren't forced to, we won't.

Maybe if we had this type of security in the U.S. there would be less dirtbags committing crimes.

Verizon Raises Dividends, But Is it Enough?

VZ and T both carry the lions share of the U.S. telco market. In effect, both are oligolpolies with little competition to speak of from the minors. Their growth has been from gobbling up smaller or weaker competitors. To say there has been no growth, does not take this into account. A dividend above 6% is very respectable in this hard market. The fact that VZ has not even reduced it, is a testament to its strength.

Is American Express Still Cheap?

I too, sold AMEX awhile back. Rang the register and I saw the losses coming. Due to O'Commie's anti-bank policies, credit card companies will be hurting for awhile.

The Hun's Top 12 Value Buys

A true value trader like me! I like and even own many of the selections you mentioned, however, I wouldn't touch refiners or bulk shippers at the point. The majority of the losses in my portfolio have been them - many of the shippers have suspended their dividends making them worth even less.

REITs may be a bit overvalued now. I stop selled 3 of them and rang the register. I still have 1 - NRF which appears to being doing well.

Keep going. I would like to see your computer algorithm for picking if you have one.

Yongye International: Profiting from China's Agriculture Needs

You overlooked one very important factor. China is a communist country (actually fascist), but that is a side point. The government determines everything. One pissed off politburo and your stock is worthless. This is an extremely risky play. I have looked into this stocks time and time again. It has been bounced on motley fool for quite some time.

There is no dividend on this stock, so you risk losing it all.

Yeah, if you got a few buck$ on the side, go for it, but be prepared to lose it all. This is strictly a gamble stock.

Citigroup: Priced to Succeed

citibank like most of the other banks were forced to make irresponsible loans under penalty of law by the community reinvestment development act sponsored by democraps. In addition, they made other irresponsible loans on their own while speculating on the housing bubble. Now these banks are in bed with the government under TARP instead of filing for bankruptcy like any other business should whose management cannot turn a profit. Now the bank is owned by one of the most far-left and socialist crackpot administration this country has ever known.

Politics aside (and my blood boils with rage against Marxists), the bank is poorly managed, the books are totally cooked and diffiused with government entanglements and mystery. NO ONE truly knows what the value of the business is, but it cannot be good.

I sold off Citi early last year avoiding this pitfall. I even made a small profit - only to lose it by gambling on WaMu - a terrible mistake.

When you mix politics with sound investment, usually the investor loses.

Every single OCommie play that I have invested in either LOST money, or I barely broke even.

This one is a NO and only a fool will bite.

Avoid the Solar Bears and Invest in First Solar

Made made Global warming is a farce with plenty of scientists to back it up.

Fact is, the earth has been a lot hotter in the past. A 1% increase in solar output can have a 100% effect on climate. Being an amateur astronomer and a student of astronomy for over 2 years, I know a little something about the subject.

I laugh at people who buy into this junk science. The real danger is the ignorant politicians who foist this garbage on uneducated voters.

As far as solar energy stocks go, sure fine, buy 'em if you want to, but they ain't worth a plug nickel while oil prices are down.

If you want to buy solar devices for the house, sure that's ok too - in the long run it may pay off, but I don't see it profitable in the short.

Expect Smooth Sailing for DryShips

This may be an cheap market, don't know about dryships, but EXM, NM, and DAC have been really beaten down. NM pays a nice (and healthy 5.11 % dividend, the others are far more risky, but may be worth a crap shoot.

I Quit the iPhone

waaah. pass the pacifier. This isn't even newsworthy. Even morons know AT&T has and continues to have piss poor service. I have had verizon for years with no real issues other than the high bill. As much as the i-phone seems like a nifty gaget, I think its time is over and 3rd party makers will continue to grab market share.
