Pure Value Play


I took advantage of this drop today by doubling-down on my investment within Proctor & Gamble (PG) at $51.76. They are trading just above their 52-week low, so I think this is a great entry point into a solid company.

In addition, I tried to make two other moves, but set my entry point too low. Those stocks were DryShips Inc (DRYS) and General Electric (GE). I missed getting into DRYS by 0.03, which was a bit frustrating because I would have had a nice little gain towards the end of the day. I guess we will see what the market will look like tomorrow after investors get a chance to digest the Senate version of the "Stimulus Plan" and the complete vagueness of Tim Geithner.

On a lighter note...has anyone else become completely immune or disgusted with the continued overuse of the term "Transparency?"

"Transparency": Ha ha, yah, geez, I know what you mean!

Hope you checked in on DryShips again today, I got back in at $5.00. Also, despite some evidence to the contrary, I'm still confident about Safe Bulkers, Inc (SB) as well ... time will tell (though I'm down about %15 at the moment).

Drawing inspiration from your genius coal play, I'm taking an aggressive short-term flier on oil via ENSCO International (ESV) $26.48 and McDermott International (MDR) $13.05.

Keep up the great posts, and God bless!

Thanks for the nice comments. I have added your blog to my scrolling link page. I like your thought process with MDR and hopefully Venezuela does not "jack" any more of your ENSCO rigs.
