What are you buying?

[blin10]

when are they good buys? i agree going all in is probably too early but picking up some nice big companies with a juicy dividend is a good strategy... if everyone knew there will be big commodities downturn oil would already be at $30-50, fact is nobody knows, for all we know SPY can rally again... greece can exit euro SPY will go down 1000 points, then next day up 1000 points..

i keep wondering why everybody is buying so much energy. Or perhaps the ones who are not buying are not posting, so we are getting a skewed view.

we're in the grip of a commodities downturn & it's not a passing breeze. Last night china again ratcheted down growth forecasts. These days apparently china is even shipping surplus copper inventory to europe. That's copper she's already bought & paid for, but now realizes she won't be using soon.

it's true that energy prices have fallen into the trash can, but just because energy stocks are cheap doesn't necessarily mean they are good buys.

the stocks i'd make an exception for are the companies with strong dividend histories, low debt & strong options. A dividend-plus-option strategy will carry an energy non-performer across the rubicon.

Couldn't resist - 800 COS @ 19.20.

My 300 COS @ $19.05 didn't get hit.. By 1 cent!

I agree that it may not yet be time to go "all in", but I've missed great buying opportunities in the past because I've been scared ----less. I have plenty of dry powder set aside and will buy periodically on the way down. I think I am done buying for a little bit, but will be watching events closely.

Argg I missed my limit order by 6 cents on COS. Everyone here seems to be scooping it up at a good price. Hope monday morning I can still get some more

I grabbed 500 A&W ... we'll be eating more burgers than steak from the looks of things .

I love your style, Eder.

Always have comical posts, yet they bear such truthfulness.

next up for me is HCG

Bought some NUAN at $20.00- just can't seem to stay away from tech... next up may be IMMR or DOMK as spec plays

Keep away from SBUX.
It is fully if not-overvalued.

The only reason that it has been rising like a star is because it was beaten down hard to $12-$15 even before the credit crunch. The company and re-installed CEO still hasn't shown a reasonable strategy for continuing top-line growth.

They over did it in the mid-2000's by opening too many stores and that cost them. Brands like VIA, expanding into Safeways, and getting into the home single-brew equipment and coffee business are not huge opportunities and it'll eat into their brand and store profits. GMCR is already showing effects of saturation and growth has slowed immensely.
