A Boring Company With Solid Profits

According to Peter Lynch, author of One Up on Wall Street, sometimes you can find profitable companies in overlooked industries. Companies in these industries are often boring and do not garner as much attention as flashier industries like technology or energy. One of these industries is the garbage industry. The garbage industry contains a company that I would consider a Buffett type investment opportunity.

Seniors Most Affected by Financial Crisis

The current economic recession is expected to have a major impact on the way that Americans live for at least a generation. A fundamental shift appears to be underway with individuals seeking to reduce leverage and consume less. 70% of our economy is based upon consumption. For as long as I can remember we have always spent freely and saved very little. Debt was used to finance all major and most minor purchases. Young and old alike both levered up to enjoy the good life. This philosophy worked until the bubble burst in the fall of 2008. The psychological impact of the recession cannot be underestimated. This recession has changed many consumers spending habits forever. Most Americans believe that this economic downturn will have an effect on their quality of life for the foreseeable future.

According to a report by CNN Money, lending is still down at the nation’s largest banks. There has already been a significant decrease in residential borrowing as banks have tightened credit standards and loan demand has decreased. Residential borrowers are overextended and have found it near impossible to get financing without a very good credit score and significant capital reserves. Loan demand has dropped and the personal savings rate has skyrocketed to 6.9%. Now that

Another drug stock that I really like is Endo Pharmaceuticals (ENDP). Endo Pharmaceuticals is a midcap biotechnology company that is know for developing and selling pain management drugs and therapies. This company may be a good investment as a play on an aging baby boomer population. The generic pharmaceutical market is a highly profitable market as drug patents expire from bigger name players. Endo also has a strong drug development division along with established money makers Percocet, Percodan and Endocent

Is Bank of America a Buy?

buylikebuffett — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:30:10 -0600

I was reading 2 different analyst opinions of Bank of America on CNBC.com. One analyst stated that Bank of America had seen a tremendous run up and would languish between $5 and $10 for the next few years. Another analyst stated that he thinks that BOA’s stock will double over the next year and triple over the next 2 years. Both of these analysts cannot be correct So who is right?

Two short-term scenarios for Gold market

Bullion Bulls — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:35:46 -0600

At the beginning of May, the usual chorus began that gold was about to have its annual spring sell-off. Those voices included not only the anti-gold cabal, but also a number of commentators inside the sector.

The prevailing “wisdom” was that since gold always sells off in the Spring that it must do so again. As is usually the case in the market, there was no actual analysis of why gold tends to sell-off in the spring – and if those conditions were present this year.

There are typically two reasons which work in unison to generate a pull-back in the price of gold – from May through the end of August. Obviously, one of the bases for a pull-back is that gold typically has a large rally in the Spring, the culmination of the strong season for gold: from October through March. This year, there was no significant rally from January through March.

In 1985 took my first job as a staff accountant with a $21,000 annual salary. Now I am over the same department that I was hired into and entry level staff accountants earn $56,500 per year. That equates to a 4.2% annual increase. Just as employees expect an annual raise, so do dividend investors.
