  • We Believe TOTAL S.A. Is The Total Package [View article]
    In an IRA account, will not pay any short term or long term capital gains taxes should you sell after making a profit. Two sides to every sword.

  • GDF Suez Is Still A Good Long-Term Play With A Price Target Of $25 [View article]
    Sorry, but one more thing I remembered. I owned GDFZY.PK before with a purchase price of around $22 and later sold it at $26 for a nice profit. Because I held it in my Roth I.R.A. I did not have to pay any capital gains on my profits, nor did I have the headaches of I.R.S. paperwork. So it is possible to save on taxes (if you have gains) by having this investment in your Roth I.R.A.

    I hold in a Roth I.R.A., there's nothing to beware about paying the extra 20% tax on the divy, because your getting a 10% dividend yield vs. a 6.30% yield on let's say, Exelon for example. To me it's a wash with the foreign investments due to their payment of higher yields vs. some of their U.S. competitors.

    Very nice article, we are so lucky to have someone like you on top of this, you do all the hard work and make it very simple for us to see the hidden value in this gem of a company. What caught my eye about GDFZY.PK was that when you compare it's P/S, P/B & P/E to the large American utility companies, the U.S. companies are twice as expensive, EXC for example. So for half the price, you can buy the largest utility company "In The World". One thing you mentioned in your article as a possible negative, I strongly view as a positive, to wit; the company is lagging in renewables compared to it's peers. Electricity produced from renewable sources (wind, solar, etc.) is very expensive for the companies and their customers. So I am glad that GDFZY.PK is behind the curve in this area. Happy to own this one.

  • Lone Pine Resources: Time Is On My Side [View article]
    Very nice first article, good job, of course I may be considered bias because I am long LPR. I am grateful to see someone like yourself articulating the positives on this company, I don't have the talent for writing, everything you stated I knew and felt, so nice to see it in print. Best regards & looking forward to new articles in the future.

  • A number of retail stocks aren't taking part of the broad market rally today with concerns over "paystub sticker shock" from consumers and anxiety over upcoming sales reports outweighing the buzz over the U.S. averting the fiscal cliff. Notable laggards: M -1.0%, JWN -0.3%, WMT +0.5%, KSS -1.2%, DDS -0.5%[View news story]
    Agree with your major point, but don't believe the majority in the 47% have jobs, so they won't feel it. However the low information voters (Morons) who do have jobs will get what they deserve.

  • Which Supermarket Stock Should You Own? [View article]
    Enjoyed your article, I am looking a RNDY as an investment. I am leaning with you that Roundy's could be just the type of bite size meal one could enjoy at this price.

    Why should we assume anything, much less an assumption which has a negative basis. I think your getting a little ahead of yourself, the glass could be half full instead. GLTU.

  • Why Staples Is Not One Of My Dividend Staple Companies [View article]
    If I wait for perfection in a stock, then all I will be doing is buying at an all time high, there is potential danger with SPLS, but that is why it is at it's 5 year low in price. I am willing to take a chance on this stock at this price now. For those who disagree, at what realistic price would you consider SPLS a buy for yourself? GLTA

  • 6 Reasons This $6 Energy Spin-Off Will Rebound [View article]
    If you are a deep value investor, you have to be at least mildly interested in LPR, if not drooling over the potential this company can return for you. Hot off the press from Morningstar, LPR has a forward P/E of 1.5, P/B of .2, P/S of .3, P/CF of .6, Oper. Margin of 16.9%, Net Margin of 10%, Debt of .8, but best of all, saved it till the last, a RETURN ON EQUITY of 5% on a P/B of only .2 This stock is extremely undervalued, today was a huge overreaction. Due to the low price of natural gas, all the companies in this field are going to experience the same dissatisfying (temp.) numbers that LPR did today. I would rather own this one at this price with these numbers, than UPL that has a P/B of 7
