    Starting from scratch these might be good portfolios. At least they are diversified! Reply

    Right, the taxpayers get stuck with the bad debt and the banks get only the good parts? This is socialism pure and simple. Write your congressman and senator. If they don't respond appropriately then vote the bums out. Remember this is an election year and don't forget to VOTE! Reply

    Cramer's game (and portfolio approvals) illustrates the danger of overemphasizing diversity at the expense of quality stock selection. Reply

    If the stock continue to drop, I will imagine that Yang will probably resign. I think the pressure to get the stock up is huge and frankly I don't see any catalyst to get this stock move up. Yang resisted the take over as if he had a magic formula to increase shareholders value. I don't blame him as much as I blame those who voted to keep him. You got what you wanted.

    See you at 10

    AIG employees used to claim that the letters, "AIG" stood for "Ain't It Great?" Looks like the Awful Insurance Giant is headed for the Already Interred Graveyard. Reply

    Long term investments in JNJ and XOM among others are especially rewarding when the dividend is considered. Currently my JNJ is yielding 8% and XOM is 6.5%. They are both in dividend reinvesting plans so my holdings are growing at that rate. What's not to like? Reply

    Didn't GM suspend (or was considering) their dividend? Reply

    At the risk of stating the obvious what this interesting line up shows is that timing (and maybe more than a little bit of luck) is everything in this market. The reality is any one of these can have made or lost one money depending on entry point. It seems like trading on fundamentals is a far second to timing, psychology and luck. In this market I have bought positions that seem fundamentally sound and even with charts that look good that shift in days and have had to just dump them to cut losses, except for BA, ha, ha - see above. What is really bad cutting those losses on great stocks was still the right choice months later. I can only figure that eventually great values like XOM will come back into favor. In this market I am still buying but only very selectively and smaller amounts than usual. If something pops I will tend to sell and take a profit and hold nothing long term except several conservative dividend payors and for better or worse some Vanguard mutual funds for my IRA but that is another story...

    Exxon-Mobil (XOM): Can someone explain to me exactly how the most profitable company in the world with decent revenue and earnings growth can be DOWN 16% year to date? Here is the past performance results of XOM,

    2008 YTD: -16%
    2007: +24.3%
    2006: + 39.1%
    2005: +11.8%
    2004: +28.0%
    2003: +20.6%

    I would assume that their dividend is the safest that you can find in this economy. So what am I missing here? Is XOM a great value play at these levels or what?     Reply

    Any votes for the stocks which have lost over 15% but don't deserve the punishment? I vote American Express and Pfizer. Pfizer's pipeline may look dry, but they have the financial clout to partner anyone with a hot drug, or to buy them outright. American Express' problems are overstated, I think. Reply
