      Watching the New York Times Struggle
      It's sad that the NYT is slowly but surely fading away.
      I like the NY times. They have good articles on all kinds of topics.
      But I don't know why they have taken a staunch leftist stance.
      By being leftist, NY times has gained a reputation as an elitist news paper.
      Was NY times always like this? I have been reading it only since 2001.

      GE Offers Dividend Opportunities During a Recession
      GE is a value trap. Back in 2002 analysts were recommending it at well above the $20+ level touting the same reasons as today. 6 years later the stock is worth much less and people are still hoping that GE is a good buy.
      A huge mega cap like GE doesn't go up much even in a normal market. In this market and with all it's struggles it's not going up anytime soon.

      The Wonderful World of Dividend Yields
      With the way dividends are being eliminated these days and even the stable dividend paying companies taking a big hit in stock price, looking for dividends doesn't seem very appealing.
      What I have learned from this bear market is that everyone does well when conditions are good, but the moment the economic conditions take a turn for the worse, out go the dividends.
      To minimize the risk of getting wiped out, individual investors should probably look for dividend ETFs instead of investing in individual stocks.

      An Opportunity for Patient Investors - Barron's
      The way Barron's predictions have panned out this year, I wouldn't be surprised if the opposite of what they say occurs.

      Rural Land: The Ultimate Hedge?
      Okay, you buy a parcel of land cheaply and let it sit there. Then what?
      Will it ever go up in price?

      Let Buffet Do the Buying for You
      I have always wondered if it's a good idea to dollar cost average and invest a fixed amount in brk-b a few times each year.
      But there are a couple of concerns I have:
      1. Warren Buffett is 77 and is not going to be around forever.
      2. Berkshire has given outstanding returns to investors who have held it for like 40-50 years but in recent years, it's price has plateaued.

      Maybe investors need to unearth the next Berkshire and hold it forever to realize similar gains.

      Here I Go, Criticizing Warren Buffett
      Warren Buffett is a man of great wisdom and tremendous investment acumen. However, the timing of his statements about the bail out did raise a few eye brows to say the least. I wouldn't accuse him of 'pumping' the stocks he bought. But I felt that there was a conflict of interest and Buffett shouldn't have made his statements at that time.
      I don't have any issue with his statement about GE. It isn't uncommon for fund managers, analysts etc to talk up stocks they have already bought.

      There's Only So Much That Goldman Can Do
      Guys, when you say don't bet against Goldman what do you mean?
      Back in december of 2007 GS was trading in the neighborhood of 200.
      Some 'experts' rated it as a buy with a price target of 250-300. Look what happened 8 months later. I am sure people must have used the same line back then - don't bet against Goldman.

      Bank of America: Bank on This Opportunity
      I would have appreciated this article if it was written when BAC was trading in the 27-30 range. After it has already jumped so much, and with the state of the financial markets as they are, why buy BAC at this price level? Whatever happened to buy low, sell high?

      Poll Shows 73% Americans Think Starbucks is Overpriced
      I am not a fan of Starbucks' coffee but it is unfair to blame them alone for high prices. Coffee at Peets, Tully's and even local espresso stands costs the same.

      Thornburg's a Huge Bargain After Monday's Crash
      All investments carry an element of risk. In the investment world nothing is certain. The higher the risk, the higher the rewards.
      Before investing in any stock, one must envision and prepare for the worst case scenario. The worst that can happen with an investment(especially a speculative one like this) is that you could lose 100% of it. If you are mentally prepared for this eventuality, I say go for it.
      Hindsight is marvelous but unfortunately it's not something that can be used BEFORE making a decision.
