Is Boeing Headed for the Atmosphere?

On tonight's Mad Money episode, Jim Cramer recommended Boeing. He had 3 or 4 reasons or catalysts that he thought would send the stock higher. Jim has been recommending Boeing for quite a while now on the show, even as low as $28. Now, if you missed that boat..eh...plane, is the current price of $50 to high to buy?

There is a lot to take into consideration on this one, so read this full analysis of Boeing's current situation: ....Boeing has Several Catalysts that May Cause its Stock Price to Double.

Investing in Best Buy May Not Be Good For You

Helium had a topic a week or so ago regarding the purchasing of Best Buy (BBY) because of Circuit City (CC) closing their doors. There were seven articles written and some interesting perspectives. You can check out my article here. When you do, be sure to read all the articles to gain seven investment writers' opinions!

State of the Economy and Emotions

Over the last few weeks, I have had many conversations regarding the economy and politics with people I wouldn’t normally discuss these topics with. The decline of the overall U.S. economy and the political and governmental influence in trying to mitigate and correct the direction of the economy has become dinner table talk for many families and friends across the nation.

From mid 2008, talk of the economy and the election began informing the American people of the serious problems our economy is facing. Truth be told, America has been in a downward spiral for more than a decade, the majority of it caused by the same government that is now telling us that they are trying to correct it.

Where was everyone a year ago? The process and speed of these “Economic Stimulus Packages” and “Housing Stimulus Packages” being implemented is nothing short of scary. Questions we are all asking ourselves are good questions, viable, and need to be answered. But getting here unchecked by the people has been our fault. Read more...

Survival of An Economic Disaster

I have given a lot of thought to, read, watched TV, and have had many conversations regarding the current economic crisis this country is facing. I have got to be honest with all of you, my investing and trading has almost come to a complete stop. Valuing companies using the formulas I used in the past just dosen't work with the stock prices beaten down (permanently I fear), creating new values. In short, my old strategy cannot work in the current market.

I have however been contemplating the United States' current economic and political positions. I am not only afraid of the diretion we are headed, I believe that there are steps we must take as individuals to attempt to protect ourselves to some degree....read more

Check Out The Penny Stock Experiment!

Below is a post that I left on my Penny Stock Experiment Blog. I encourage you to check it out. This is a 60 day experiment that I am starting today (Jan. 5, 2009), analyzing the Doubling Stocks Newsletter and the Doubling Stocks Stock Robot.

(Post from Penny Stock Experiment)

I purchased the Doubling Stocks newsletter on January 4, 2009. I also purchased the Stock Trading Robot. So, I've decided to share my experience here. I have heard some pretty good things about Doubling Stocks (after filtering through the affiliate's articles). There is also a 60 guarantee that goes along with the product, so that is how long the experiement will ensue.

At that time I will determine whether I keep the product and share that decision here.I have also created an affiliate link on this blog if you wish to subscribe to the service and follow along with me. The purpose of this blog is not to give stock tips based on the newsletter or the program (Robot), therefore my posts will be posted a day after any trades are completed.

Remember, there is a 60 day guarantee on the product, so following along will cost you nothing if you don't want it after the experiment.I would appreciate any comments, both negative and positive, that you have to share.

So, without further delay, today is Sunday, January 4 and tomorrow is Monday January 5, the "offical" start date of the Doubling Stocks and Stock Trading Robot experiment!

I hope to see you over on my Penny Stock Experiment Blog!

Okay, I've finally come out of my cave...

Its not that I've been hiding because the world's economy is in complete free-fall, companies are going bankrupt...or worse everyday. Its not because of the non-stop election coverage only to be trumped by another record down day on the stock market. Really, I haven't been hiding.

I did however sell all of my positions and was only holding cash. I did this 3 MONTHS AGO. The crashing and burning of the stock market has not affected me, other than not knowing what to do next.

A week ago I decided I needed to meditate on this. The constant blaring of the talking heads on TV telling me the world was coming to and end soon had got on my last nerve...I turned it off. The radio too, you know Sirius has CNBC...you never have to be without!

What better place to meditate than Tibet, so off I went (not really, the fact is I don't think I know how to meditate). The truth is I know there is a way to make money in this market. But even Jim Cramer comes on the TV every night last week with his hands in his pockets, kickin' dirt.

Warren Buffet and Sir John Templeton are/were two of the most respected investors in the world (and also the richest). Both of them said that it was important to take all other influences out of your decision making process...essencially to turn off the doom-and-gloom and figure it out for yourself.

I have come up with my new trading plan. It is a three tiered, five year plan. Now, I'm not going to use just this one post to explain my new strategy. I have written, and am writing a series of articles that explains how I plan on increasing my wealth exponentially over the next five to ten years.

So I feel better. I always do when I have a plan. I'll share it with you all soon. In the mean time, try to look at the current economical situation with optimism, with a keen eye instead of a gullible ear, and you just might feel a bit better. Be sure to subscribe to the Chicken Stocks Blog so you are the first to know when the articles are published!

Jim Cramer is Wrong About Consolidated Edison!

Jim Cramer is a teacher of mine and I almost always respect his opinions. In this article I have to disagree with him. ED may be a good dividend play, but does not meet my growth requirements. Read this article to find out why.
