McGraw Mediating Money Movement in Media

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

While newspapers were taken by surprise by the digital revolution, I believe the opposite will be the case for book publishers as their costs lower.

McGraw has a lot of debt, which makes me curious about the motivation by their increased stock buy back program. Looking for the next pull back on this one.

Telefonica (TEF)

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

I’m a little paranoid right now, so waiting to see if there is another dip for TEF before picking some up.

Good pitch for it at Investor Place today.

Is There Room to Grow for Baxter Healthcare?

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

I bought some at a good price awhile back and am satisfied with my current profit. The question is, should I sell and invest elsewhere or hang on expecting them to pop from some new market penetration?

Is it Time to Load Up on GE?

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Buffett loaded up at the peak of the melt down, and I dipped in a bit then, too. Thus Warren is still much wealthier than I am.

While the current financial slide is much more gradual than the one that wiped me out last time, it is sliding, evidenced by my watch program prompting me on stocks that dropped less than 1% on Monday and  hitting my low watch points which are generally 5-20% down when I set them.

Still making my mind up on this one. Today askStockGuru has the buy point at $18.43 and I had set a limit buy back in March of $18, with my original shares picked up at $12.80.

Does Buy What You Know Equal Pay Where You Stay?

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

And do I sometimes really stretch for headlines? Well, the latter is a no-questions affirmative. The former? Well, I bought one hotel stock where I stay all the time, and another that I think is simply under valued. Hopefully both will be profitable in the long run. That will allow me to enjoy the interesting part.

Go Outside and Pay Dividends

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

A SmallCapInvestor.com article caught my eye today. I could swear I had looked at VFC before, but couldn’t find a CLI reference to it, so I’m making one now. The company is still trading with much volatility, and I think the entry point will be on a major pull-back, providing the management and numbers are still strong.
