I wish I had bought L3 (NASD: LLL) first thing Monday. A buddy of mine did, along with GD, NOK and RTN.... LLL gained 30%+ on Monday alone.

 

It probably won't be too long until we start seeing "Buy Bonds" ads on TV and at the movies. My Dad told me that during WWII, at the conclusion of a movie, you would always see such ads. This war, which Bush estimates may take ten years to complete, is going to be very expensive, so I guess we need to invest in America.

Unfortunately the suits don't look at the fact that Boeing is a MAJOR player in defense subcontracts. Instead, they jump all over the traditional ones like Lockheed, Northrupp, and Raytheon.

If you ask me (of course, I have no head for business), for the next week or so, we're in a downslide. They market always seems to have to stabilize before it can gain again. It seems like people are still selling out there (bastards) so the market's gonna' continue to go down. Plus, some of the major players (like the Bass bros. with Disney stock) have to get rid of some of their shares just to free up some cash. It'll continue to go down for awhile.

LOL.

 

Boeing is more of an airplane assembler. You may have better success going down the food chain i.e. the suppliers. The companies that design the electronics, the wiring harnesses or even the companies that supply things like tires for the military.

Another thing to consider is that when those two towers came down entire LANs and all their nodes came down too. Dell is taking millions of dollars in computer and server orders right now.

 

i don't think we have hit rock bottom yet...

an anal-lyst came out today and said that chips were about 50% still over-valued. hmm...that means INTC could be 12-14 in the very near term. even though they are IB manipulating @$#&%'s, i think the worst is yet to come. sure, we'll rebound but then i think it's time to batten down the hatches.

i think like all things, we are in a cyclical down, which has yet to reach it's valley. am i still holding? yes... should i have sold? of course...i could've bought 3 more s2ks... now, i can barely busy gas!

 

Not now... Theres just too much uncertainty. Theres going to be serious ripple effects thru the economy in the next few months. Lots of layoffs, less consumer spending, corporate losses, all that means that investors won't have the motivation to buy.

Stocks will either sit, or fall in the near future. We need some steady ground before any confidence can be placed in the markets. When some depressed blue chips settle into a trading range for a period it may make sense to buy into them little by little (dollar cost average) rather than put all of your $ into a stock at once.

My advice to people is invest in yourselfs (pay down debts), or wait till winter and start buying that new home you wanted or some real estate. Interest rates are low, motivated sellers, depressed prices -what better time to buy?

Theres an old movie - Giant (1955 James Dean's last) and I remember a line in it... "the only thing more valuable than cash is land."
