Balls.

Here is my analysis of the steel and iron industry, which has been experiencing a HUGE boom, along with the general world commodities boom going on right now as the world's major reserve currency, the US dollar continues its plunge in value, investors, institutions, and governments are buying HARD assets. The faith in fiat currency is at the moment very negative.

Connect this industry to the dry-bulk shipping industry, which ships steel and iron around the world, and you'll see why that industry has benefited from the commodities boom too. This industry is a buy, along with the dry-bulk shipping sector..

LOL, good luck on that. Wouldn't you feel safer buying a company with excellent fundamentals AND a high dividend?

i was going to say something like that.

if GEs profits stay low, i would expect dividend cuts to prop up the stock price. although you can't really go wrong with GE in the long term. it's one of the most well run conglomerates.

My fund's have skyrocketed this week...

They've been honest about their forecasts..saying they would make less next year than the street expected , in the $2.20-$2.30 range. Even at $2.20 that gave them a modest p/e of 14...and for the global leader in so many areas, that is a bargain IMO. I doubt GE will ever cut their dividend.. I'm a afraid to buy smaller companies that pay 8-9% etc because they seem much more likely to cut the dividend.

Give me some recommendations beeeeyutcch!

Seriously, I almost always buy stocks when they have been killed like GE. Even if you find me a good company with a high dividend, if it is anywhere near it's 52 week high, it's a big no-no for me...just can't do it. Give me a strong company that Wall St temporarily hates and I will lap it up.

Stock - INTRINSIC STRENGTH - GRADE - RATING

EXM - 95.19% - A - Strong Buy

XOM - 85.00% - A - Strong Buy

You missed out on EXM's rise this past week. MSFT, TBSI, and DRYS is pretty far off its 52 week high. Out of these, obviously MSFT is the less risky choice. Both TBSI and DRYS are in the shipping sector. Expect shipping to benefit from the commodities boom.

Here is my fundamental strength list which is less stringent than the intrinsic strength. Look through them, look at their charts, highs and lows. I know you'll find plenty of low priced high quality stocks from my lists...

Yep, last time I shuffled mine around was the end of March. About 50% of my portfolio is in just 5 stocks. If you look at this thread a lot, you should know almost exactly everything I have been buying...

Your fund is also still not public...Screenshot your fund page?

New high... $12.27 NAV ...I'm gonna get ya Capitalizt...

These are the best numbers I think I have ever had so far since I started this fund in August 2007...

RETURNS...
Last Week - 9.66%
Last Month - 18.47%
Last 3 Months - 20.77%
Last 6 Months - 4.47%

Since Inception - 20.66%
(Annualized) - 31.98%

And all this is in an atmosphere of fear of high oil prices, housing crisis, budget crisis, and recessionary fears...HAHA...For me it supports of my economic viewpoints towards investing which is never let macro-economic trends dictate your investing....
