I don’t generally like ETFs, but I I make an exception with EWY because it is the only way to own stocks like Sanyo and LG for a small time investor.

Not HOTT Post
Friday, July 9th, 2010When I get around to having the Cheap, Lazy portfolio posted and maintained on this site, I won’t need to make silly entries like this on that is not about Hot Topic Inc. (HOTT) to make tracking easier for me. Meanwhile, I hope it makes it easier for you.
Westell Technologies Inc. (WSTL)
Saturday, June 26th, 2010WSTL is a good bet if there is shift from one high-speed provider type to another (like cable to DSL), or if there is a network improvement that spawns upgrade mania.
Safe Bulker Safe Bet…So Far
Saturday, June 26th, 2010For a dry ship, they have a good dividend and still follow the trend of the industry. Making up for losing money in the end with Diana.

Advance America Retreating
Sunday, June 6th, 2010I started watching AEA last November as a play on the decreasing borrowing power of the average debt consumer. The Foolish CAPs still like it, and Yahoo! Finance still has them predicted for a year end value over the $6 mark. But insiders have been selling down this year. I still like the business model and most of the numbers, though the debt and the insider sells worry me. What do you think? Comments welcome!
Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (IVR)
Thursday, May 20th, 2010Dividend. Insider purchases. Price drop. Need I say more? Ok: 5 star.
GFI Group Inc. (GFIG)
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010GFI is one of my favorite financial plays. They make money off the big guys, which makes them just as volatile but on a longer scale. They pay a good dividend, and their price is fairly easy to track to a profit as a growth and income play. askStockGuru has them today at a $5.57 entry, but I am looking at $4.72 as a high support level from my take on the graph.
Blockbuster Blues
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Yes, I confess that I bought more today. It will either rebound at some point and turn a nice profit or go the way of my Circuit City Crap. The difference is, CC managed itself out of business where BBI is fighting a perception on Wall Street. NetFlix is an alternate model rather than a direct competitor. Anytime your not sure, look at Gamefly vs Game Stop. I’d rather pay a couple bucks more to touch and feel something before putting up money for it! Especially when my dollar is more important to me since I don’t know how long I will have it.
Stalking WWE
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010Looking at the long term charts, I see dips for WWE in the January/February and June/July periods, with the larger dips being in the latter. While I really like this stock, I will continue to hold out to buy in again for another dip.
