Doug,

dougssorryscumbagofshortablestocks.com I'm pretty sure no one has registered it. If I win I don't want IBD's free trial like they're sending me now---every other issue. For the amazingly low price of $489 for two years they'll send it to me every other day and maybe a big pile of papers once a month. Nothing like old financial news.

Freudian slip , just realized it said "pig pile" instead of "big pile"

When listening to conference calls, make note of sales , gross margins , and profit. Compare these numbers to those predicted by reputable analysts. Doing as much homework as you can per stock will tell you if a drop in price is a buying or selling opportunity.

Sharesleuth : Tobin Smith in his Change Wave Newsletter has recommended buying XNL (Xethanol) and set a price target of 30. XNL is now at 4.95 after the sharesleuth expose citing irregularities in company operation. Smith believes XNL will make a huge comeback after it's drop from a 52 week high of 11.59.

Cramer 8/30/06


Morally incorrect investing in sin stocks : Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms . Evil but good companies make you money regardless of the fed. It's almost impossible to create a portfolio of stocks that don't mess up the environment in some way. Be a true capitalist. You can't change big corporations , but you can make $$ from them.

Top Alcohol Stocks :
1. DEO---Johnny Walker , Cuervo , Guinness , Smirnoff 14 bil. global sales
2. STZ---largest wine company in the world
3. BUD---sells best during economic slowdowns 14 breweries 12 in US.
4. BF-B--Jack Daniels , Southern Comfort , 2.7 billion last year

Top Tobacco Stocks :
1. MO--Altria well run nice dividend , marlboro cigs., kraft foods
2. UST--snuff and chewing tobacco , less litigation , prime takeover target

Top Gun Stocks :
1. SWB--handguns , expanding to rifles , military and law enforcement
2. ATK--make bullets especially for military M-16 rifles

I see nothing evil about Alcohol, tobacco and guns. I don't smoke, but I love alcohol and guns.

A rerun but what the heck. How to make money from the baby boomers as they approach retirement. Invest in best of breed travel , leisure , luxury stocks that are perceived to portray a high public image.

Hotels--Resorts---FS, four seasons headquarters in Canada operate worldwide
OEH-- super high end hotels worldwide
HOT-- good but a notch below the above companies

Gambling--LVS--Macau takes in 7X $$$ per table vs. Las Vegas
IGT--computerized gaming machines 70% of slot machine business
SGMS-- games

Steakhouses-- MRT RUTH

Cruise Lines---RCL

Credit Card---AXP still charges fee just to own

Bookstore--BKS 799 stores

These are mostly long term investments. Don'trun out and buy them unless they tank because of shot term fear of terrorists etc.

Buy a cereal stock. K or GIS are both good in this market. Grain prices have little to do with cereal price per box. Only .33 per box is grain cost. That's about 11%. Brand loyalty makes people pay 50% more than generic for essentially the same product.

Cramer admits making big mistake on VLO and F. On VLO the company blew away earnings estimates and hardly moved. Has since gone down 15. On F earnings were bad and stock didn't tank.

People have been avoiding big drug stocks , but in reality they are outperforming cyclicals as funds are quietly moving out of oil and manufacturing into big pharma.

Past earnings analyzation aren't of great importance with these stocks, what's in the pipeline is the important thing. Look for great current drugs or blockbuster new developments and good patent protection. The best are :

SGP--excellent cholesterol and rheumatoid arthritis drugs

LLY-- tops in diabetes and anti-depression drugs

WYE--women's drugs , arthritis and athsma drugs

This is taking longer than I thought...but give them some time.

FINL reports on 9/21...I'm looking at a poor report and poor short term guidance with some BS about how they intend to turn things around next year.

KBH...Estimates just keep getting lowered

Geez Doug,
The one day I don't check them out. This is a classic report. Stocklemon is one dude (or company) you don't want to get on the sh#* list of. IIG is burning toast as this is being written. The largest stockholder of IIG is quoted " I have never seen a fraud discovered in advance" and stocklemon tells him to read their site. I'm not going to copy their report but will put some quotes at the bottom of this thread for a few days.

Use KKD as an example for bad things to look for in a stock. Cramer says buying KKD now is worse than buying a lottery ticket. Here's some highlights.

1. so messed up they can't file financial statements
2. CFO COO both quit within 9 months of each other
3. accounting irregularities going way back
4. terrible trajectory of chart
5. a momentum stock that has lost it, never coming back
