There is an upside to this, if cnbc goes under we might finally get to see maria, erin and the other financial babes of cnbc in playboy. Add in the “stimulate the economy” headline on the cover and that edition will be suitable for framing. I may go frame shopping this weekend to beat the rush.

Allan, The problem with ben’s theory is that it is about picking winners, they need to have a growth rate for the formula to work. Don’t worry, I do not act solely on anyone’s advice, just looking for feedback, but it’s just a factor. None of these will grow in the near future, that’s why they are so cheap, the ben’s of the world say no, which is why they are twisting in the wind. I like that theory too, I have the needed money invested like that. But when everyone else runs away, sometimes it plays out to pick up the pieces, these gambles are just plays against bankruptcy. I’m trying to be a grown up here, I have a boys trip coming up with my posse, the gambling fund traditionally ends up on a blackjack table or in a g-string, I’m saving myself from myself by tying most of it up before I go, there is a method to the madness. I do the same with junk food, i buy the stuff I don’t really like then I’m safe from eating it, there is a method to the madness, it’s taken a while but i’ve figured out how to fool myself.

esmith, it is interesting but there is an explanation. As discussed on another thread a month ago, Murrieta is now the hottest R/E market in the country according to forbes, not because prices are going up but because they are coming down. The 60% off sale is working. If S.D. would knock another 25-30% off the prices tomorrow, everything would sell and uhaul wouldn’t know where to park all the trucks, they better act soon or all the cash on the sidelines will be spent.

Josh or anyone else please chime in, when it hits 6k or 5k or 4k, is any of it a signal to buy? Ignoring the dow and the s&p per se, is there a date or a circumstance that you see a moderate term (1-5 years) stock play that is a value. As hammered as some stocks are, picking up something for 10 cents on the dollar (albeit that dollar was an inflated value) as a deal.

Like many people, I have my investments spread around in different areas and in different accounts, but I have one that is my pure gambling fund. The 401k, the cash reserves, the canned food, the ammo, the water, all that is covered. I’ve got 5 or 6k in the gambling fund that I thought I might play with on etrade. Just realize that this money, if lost isn’t going to prevent me from eating, the gambling fund is reserved for vegas, strip clubs, golf weekends, you know, things I can and probably should live without. Success with stocks out of the gambling fund will just finance more debauchery but play along wont you. Assuming 5 different 1k purchases, what are your thoughts on these stocks: Harley Davidson, GE, Ford, Costco, Phillip Morris, and Hovnanian.

Which one would you drop from the list?

I know they are all in the crapper, some may not survive the year. If a single one returns to glory it would cover the other 4 (with the exception of costco and PM, they are only down by half, the others are small fractions of their previous value). Harley and GE have P/E’s of like 3, costco actually had higher sales recently yet has gotten beaten up just because it is a traded stock, cigarettes in foriegn countries, winner, winner, chicken dinner. I think ford may make it, their new hybrids look impressive, maybe they will understand just in time. I think hovnanian homes as a penny stock is worth a look. While I don’t own a harley, their brand loyalty amongst their customers is unparalleled, it’s like a cult, they literally will stop being friends with someone for purchasing another brand, I just don’t see them vanishing from the planet in my lifetime.

So there are my bottom feeder picks, they are all in the crapper right now and going lower every day, fast. At dow 6000, dow 4000, or whatever, what do you think of these gambles? Let’s just say that the country doesn’t end up a nuclear wasteland, some companies will survive on the other side, any ideas on which ones and no safe plays, keep the gambling fund ideals in mind.
