Ran across this big dividend play on the Stock Gumshoe site. I’m getting a little nervous about the stock price of high-dividend companies right now. Waiting for a pull back to get in on them. It may be awhile, but should work out well to stick my hand in the cookie jar while everyone is looking elsewhere.
Interesting pitch I read today had me looking at THQ. They used to make some cool games, and they are definitely volatile. If there is a serious pre-Black Friday panic in the market it might drop low enough to tempt a cheapskate like myself.
I got all excited about SuperValu after a Motley Fool article and reading the CAPs opinion. Then I looked at the current statistics and lost interest at the debt ratio. Still, they could pop if they drop, so keeping an eye out for a drop.
Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) came up on my radar from a Yahoo! News Alert Digest article I receive on Carl Icahn. Regardless of what one thinks of Icahn, he is good at sniffing out a way to profit that others don’t easily see.
Looking up CHK I see that they have a good PEG ratio of .9, and another article on Motley Fool about bad energy investments…with Chesapeake as the counter example.
They are at a low price point now, but the chart mechanically looks to be heading further down. I’m going to bet that it goes down a bit further, and also bet on Icahn being his usual right (if not always for the right reason).
Some of my best returns have come from stocks I run across while checking up on other stocks I’m thinking of dumping. Case in point today is I ran across Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. (SNTA) today in a Motley Fool article that also mentioned the stock I was researching (and no decision on that one, yet, so not mentioning it here). A low-price bio tech that is profitable and not buried in debt. Go figure. Volatile price, though, so I’m going to set a limit buy on a drop and hope it doesn’t drop much further, bounces back up, and skim so “free” stock out of the ride.
I have an eye on Jet Blue (JBLU) only because it is my favorite airline to fly. Of course, I’m still cheap (one of the reason I like flying with them), so I’m hoping for a temporary set back in the stock price to buy.
When Motley Fool and TheStreet.com both list the same stocks, I’m not sure whether to be frightened or enthused. Either way, it put LLY back on my watch list.
Ripe for a buy, or ready to fall off the map? AEO came up on my radar watching the Yahoo! Finance Losers for bargains, but I didn’t pull the trigger. OTOH, I’ve done well with retail before…but not every time. Anyway, an article at InvestorPlace.com got me to thinking about them again. What do you think? Try that comment box out below and let me know how it works.
Several false alerts from Yahoo! Alerts today. Must have caught that bug from the stock market last week!
