Smith & Wesson's a Buy Ahead of 2nd Amendment Decision

Rifle, I tend to agree with the potential price appreciation for the reasons stated in the article. I've recently purchased January 2009 $7.50 call options. If the price goes up to $60, I'll retire a year early. If the stock continues to fall (adverse Supreme Court ruling) I'm out with less than a $1k loss.

Attractive Preferred Stocks for a Volatile Market

Some not on the list. EPEXP (Energy), FCX-M (Mining), HCP-F (Heath Care). I try to find underlying issues where the common pays a dividend, much less to cut the preferred if they also have to cut the dividend on the common.

Some of my other current preferred: SLM-A, TMA-F. Great source for research on these stocks at quantumonline.com
