Let Warren Buffett Handle Your Portfolio

With so many other insurance firms in trouble, don't you guys think insurance premiums are going to firm up a little bit, especially those super-cat reinsurance stuffs?

High Yielding Stocks Going Ex-Dividend in January

You call 1% dividend "high yield stocks"? Gasp!

S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats: Withstanding the Test of Time

What a funny comment! When inflation finally strikes, your bank CD will soon become worthless.

Anyone who bought a bank CD in continental Europe in 1914 were completely wiped out by 1945.

Buyers of decent equities, however, completely recovered by 1955 and went on to new glories.

Credit Cards: The Next Subprime?

I exclusively use credit cards for my purchases, and I always pay my balances in full.

Credit cards offer a convenient way to organize my bills, track my spendings, and a great protection from fraudulent merchants.

If you shop online, credit cards is pretty much the ONLY way to buy anything. If you travel to foreign countries, Visa and Mastercard offer way BETTER exchange rates than those rip-off banks.

It's actually far safer to make purchases with credit cards than with cash. They have become very good at detecting anomalies. Once I bought something in China, and I got a call from them a day later. Now if you give cash to the wrong person, it's gone forever.

Credit Bust: Avoid Being the Little Guy

The longer the US keeps its reserves untapped, the longer it remains truly energy independence.

Once all of our reserves are fired, then we become truly dependent upon others.

Right now, we are exchanging worthless green paper for truly useful commodities. That's a wonderful deal.

These Stocks Are Attractive Amidst This Selloff

Posco is a Korean integrated steel maker. If you get this simple basic fact wrong, that basically tells people what kind of "investment capitalist" you are.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week. Oil demand withers. The International Energy Agency warned Friday worldwide oil demand... Email continues...

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
