Power to the PPL

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Heard about PPL from a friend and liked the numbers. Now that’s lazy and cheap!

Oh What a Scary Feeling

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

I’m not sure if Toyota will be the Apple turn-around or the Blockbuster stock buster, but I’m thinking it looks very worth a risk at $59.

Colgate Crash Catcher

Monday, September 12th, 2011

While I missed my opportunity to buy during the bottom of the big V, there is every possibility of a big dip ahead, and I hope I have the funds to add Colgate then to the Lazy portfolio. Right now, setting an alert for $82 to buy at $81.

Buy Who You Pay: eBay

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

Should have got into this one years ago. Hoping the summer doldrums will drop it to my target price of 29.8.

Buy Who You Pay: NetSol Technologies, Inc. (NTWK)

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

I know they missed estimates in a volatile summer.  I also know the will not be what they once were. Still, the numbers are much better than the price, so I picked some up.

I ran across this Fool article after the fact, even though it was published before my buy.

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.
