Volatility and a high dividend. Good for us crazy people who straddle between investing and trading.

Is There Room to Grow for Baxter Healthcare?

FYW Dude — Wed, 25 May 2011 10:14:22 +0000

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?

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?

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.

The C in CIVETS

FYW Dude — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 11:11:28 +0000

I haven’t watched Mad Money in a while, and last night’s pitch for CIB seemed to be a good one. Adding this to my radar.

Follow the Bouncing Dividend

FYW Dude — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 13:41:45 +0000

Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund Inc. (CIK) seems to climb up then drop off before beginning another climb. Even with its current 8.6% dividend, it is easy to pick up an extra 10% by watching for this pattern.

My last run was in at 3.29 and out at 3.7. Setting an alert for 3.4 to buy in again at 3.3.

My Only ETF

FYW Dude — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 16:37:12 +0000

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

When 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)

FYW Dude — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:57:26 +0000

WSTL 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

For 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.
