Life Time Fitness: A Stock On Steroids (LTM)

Well I do believe fitness is the industry that should start to grow and stabilize because of its benefits. The men and women whos radical health changes both physically and emotionally are walking testimonials to why everyone should excercise regularly. My 100 pound weight loss, my emotional well being, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, all returned to normal within a year of constant excercise. A miracle that tells me many more miracles will drive this industry so watch those balance sheets for solid companies with great leadership, not overpaid and overgifted leadership as the LTM Lifetime Fitness Inc. leaders. You can find some good companies ready to grow, time your purchase on a downward swing after some nationwide bad news and you should have an increased buffer to quicker profits if you do your research..

Airlines Face Challenge in Financing Aircraft Purchases

This definitely looks like a good time for those aircraft leasing companies if they are creative and can keep their lease rates competitive. Let us face it if the Lease rate is more than the high interest loan rate, the aircraft companies would rather own than lease. So that means the leasing companies will have to have extremely good credit to get a significant reduction in loan interest rates to allow a profit on such an endeavour. Odds are we will see government sponsored loans if aircraft purchasing becomes necessary and the fleet needs to grow. Right now the necessity for the fleet of aircraft to grow is well, a figment of the imagination..

Sysco More Attractive than Cisco

From someone who has not only visited this company doing sign installations over the year and watched their trucks steady deliveries at the restaurants I do business with regularly. I supplied to this company and watched it grow over the past 15 years I like this stock. They are a company on the move and steady. No flashy changes but a solid player in the food service industry supply chain..

Cramer's Stop Trading! Seidenberg and Stevenson (4/1/09)

You are right there are good buys, look to airlines especially JBLU they can be bought on oil increases and sold on oil decreases and if you get stuck wait a month the traffic comes back and drives them up again.... SIRI is starting to look good for a bottom buy ready to recover. I am looking to buy and hold on this one but it will probably be buy and take profits in a week with the car sales picking up nicely for the big 3 who have the SIRI XM units on almost every car at purchase.....Good Luck and happy trading.....

Where have all the unions gone? "The way to get the economy back on track is to boost the purchasing power of the middle class," former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich writes today in an LA Times op-ed. "One major way to do this is to expand the percentage of working Americans in unions."

Unions are crooks if they are not where they are supposed to be! They were started to help the poor underpaid people who worked in unbearable and life threatening work conditions. But since the dues are not so great on a poor persons wage, Union crooks have focused on only being there for the wage earners who earn more than twice the minimum wage in many times 5-10 times the minumum wage. Illegalize unions for incomes above 3 times the minimum wage and you will see them fighting to help the poor underpaid and left out workers which will greatly improve the economy by helping the week not the well to do..
