Stock Idea: Mosaic Company (MOS, $75.80)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

Mosaic Company (MOS) produces fertilizer, a.k.a. “concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients" for the global agriculture industry. Click here to read about fertilizer earnings, rising food prices, and fertilizer stock prices .

Projected consensus EPS growth is +118%, +30.5%, and +11.2% for fiscal years 2011-2013. Mosaic's PE is 18.

Mosaic stock is still steadily recovering from the 2008 financial meltdown. It has most recently been trading in the $74 - $89 area. There is some active litigation which adds risk to the stock price, and it is unlikely that the litigation will be resolved quickly. I would be happy buying at the current price and selling near the top of the trading range in the short-term.

Stock Idea: Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE, $33.13)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE) offers a range of business, Web and mobile software and services.

Projected consensus EPS growth is +15.5%, +13.9% and +11.8% for fiscal years 2011 through 2013. The PE is 14.9. Adobe does not pay a dividend.

I've been waiting for weeks for Adobe Systems (ADBE) to bounce down to $33, which I consider a good buy price. The stock closed today at $33.13. In the immediate future, I expect the stock to trade in the $33 to $35 area, then move towards $37/38, where it will meet with some resistance, on its way to retracing its pre-financial meltdown high near $48.

Here's some data on the company:

Adobe Systems (Nasdaq: ADBE ) just released the first major revision of its Audition package, formerly known as Cool Edit Pro, since 2007. Audition is now part of Adobe's flagship Creative Suite for the first time. That's a rival not to be taken lightly. -- The Motley Fool, April 26, 2011

Standard & Poor's maintains a current target price of $35 and a fair market calculation of $44.80. "We are encouraged by recent strength in sales of products such as Acrobat and Creative Suite, as well as growth in subscriptions. However, we are concerned about slower growth from Japan, ADBE's second largest geographic region, given recent events." -- Standard & Poor's, 04/23/11

CO SB-126: In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens, April 13, 2011 Update



Update 04/26/11: COLORADO -- SB11-126 -- Last night, this bill was killed in committee. (Translation: we do not have to worry about Colorado legislators attempting to give in-state tuition to illegal aliens again until the 2011-2012 legislative session.)

This bill was killed in a party-line vote, which means the Democrats wanted to give in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens, thereby taking college admission slots AWAY FROM tax-paying citizens, and the Republicans wanted to honor the Colorado and U.S. Constitutions by upholding laws as they regard citizens and non-citizens.

Obviously, the Democrats want illegal aliens in our country so that they can find ways to register them to vote, thereby increasing the Democrat voter base and helping Democrats win elections. It would be nice if Democrats could find a way to win elections based on productive ideas, but that apparently hasn't occurred to them. Sigh.

*****

Update 04/13/11: COLORADO -- SB11-126 -- BILL FOR IN-STATE TUITION FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL COME TO THE SENATE FLOOR FOR A VOTE ON FRIDAY, APRIL 15.

Take action: Call State Senators and ask them to vote "no".

*****
(originally posted on March 14, 2011; written by Jen Raiffie and edited by Crista Huff)

Senate sets deliberate pace on tuition bill

"A bill potentially allowing illegal immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition at Colorado institutions of higher learning needs more time to gain momentum, Senate Pres. Brandon Shaffer, D-Longmont, said Monday.

The Senate has repeatedly delayed consideration of Senate Bill 126, which allows 18-year-olds who graduate from Colorado high schools to apply for classification as unsubsidized in-state students without needing to show proof of lawful presence in the United States. While the bill appears to have the necessary support in the Democrat-controlled Senate, it may take time for its backers to find some traction in the Republican-controlled House, Shaffer told reporters during a “Meet the Press” conference.

Shaffer said he is encouraged by a recent conversation with Republican House Speaker Frank McNulty, in which the two legislative leaders spoke generally about working together and trying to “make it into a bipartisan conversation.” "

* * * *

This bill will probably pass the Senate this Friday and take a likely path to the House Education Committee. The committee members and their contact info are listed below.

Please take 2 minutes to contact the representatives to inquire where they stand on this bill.

Hello Representative:

Going to presume that since SB-126 was heard in the Senate education committee; its going to go to the house education committee as well.


Could you tell us how you stand on this bill if you have a stand? And if you don't, are you leaning one way or another?

Thanks so much.

If they are in favor of it, you can reply back to them and educate them on the multitude of reasons they should oppose this bill as outlined in the article linked above.

You may also want to contact Speaker McNulty frank@frankmcnulty.com 303.866.2346 and ask him to send this bill upon arrival directly to the State Affairs Committee where it is certain to die a fast death instead of risking its passing via the Education committee. It makes no sense why he doesn't send it there in the first place, unless he is working for Big Biz instead of his constituents.

Here is an email which you can send to Speaker Frank McNulty:

Dear Speaker McNulty:

Kindly consider sending SB-126 (In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens) directly to the State Affairs Committee, where it may die quickly, bypassing the Education Committee.

If illegal aliens are in Colorado illegally, wouldn't it therefore be aiding and abetting a criminal to do helpful things for them? And isn't the State Legislature obligated to work on behalf of Colorado citizens, not non-citizens? Please help push the chronic problem of illegal aliens in a direction which starts solving the problem and not enabling the illegal aliens.

Thank you!

A message from Crista:

Americans did not un-elect a slew of liberals and pro-amnesty RINOs in order to get a fresh batch of them this past November. Voters need to be prepared for more legislative turnover every November until we get legislators who listen to the will of The People. And I'm NOT talking about The People who vote based on skin color! I'm talking about the people who are able to articulate America's downfall and propose solutions. The People do not want legislators and beauracracies which cater to illegal aliens and refuse to enforce current laws. Why hasn't this become imminently clear to our legislators? Why are they still dancing around illegal aliens who would cut their throats and rape their daughters in a heartbeat?!

Tea Party Patriots are not going to go away. "Don't Tread On Me" is not a cute little slogan. It is a battle cry, and we are at war. We are prepared to save the Republic at whatever the cost. We want the Constitution as the Law of the Land. We want immigration rules enforced. We want criminal statutes enforced. When the legislators toss aside our laws, free the criminals, cater to extremely dangerous immigrant populations and trash the Constitution, they are pushing us into a corner from which we will emerge enraged, and by then, we will have nothing left to lose.

Don't Tread On Me!!!

News on Recently Recommended Stocks (ABT, T, BWA, FCX, GE, MA, MCD, PM, VZ)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

News on Recently Recommended Stocks


Abbott Laboratories (ABT, $50.49) -- After the recent quarterly earnings report, Morgan Stanley raised its earnings estimates for 2011 & 2012. (post from April 10)

AT&T (T, $30.68) -- Morgan Stanley modestly raised its earnings estimates for AT&T; those numbers being higher than consensus estimates. There have been several buy-low opportunities since I wrote about AT&T on Jan. 27. The upside potential is wide open. I suggest using a stop-loss order to protect profits at $30.00, and raising the stop-loss as the stock price climbs.

Borg Warner Inc. (BWA, $76.94) -- The stock is more than half-way to its short-term price target of $80-ish. (post from April 18)

Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold (FCX, $54.84) -- The stock is halfway to its short-term target of $58. (post from April 19)

General Electric (GE, $19.95) -- Earnings report came out on April 21 and the company raised the dividend. There have been several opportunities to trade GE for 10%+ profit since I posted on this stock on Jan. 24. It is still a good buy, but next time it climbs beyond $22, I'd hold it and let it ride.

Mastercard (MA $273.28) -- The stock is up $22 since I posted it on March 29. The price target is unclear. I suggest using a stop-loss order, and raising the stop-loss as the stock price continues to climb.

McDonalds (MCD, $76.91) -- Earnings report came out on April 21. Expect a short-term retracement to $80. (post from Feb. 18)

Philip Morris Int'l (PM, $67.61) -- Earnings report came out on April 21. The stock is up over $8 since I posted about it on Feb. 8. Use a stop-loss order to protect profits and let the stock continue to climb.

Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ, $36.91) -- Earnings report came out on April 21. There is still time to buy VZ. Watch for a retracement to $42. Short-term buyers should sell around $41.50. (post from Jan. 23)

Trading Opportunity with Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX, $51.72)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) is a copper, gold and molybdenum mining company in Indonesia, South America, North America and Africa.

Earnings per share are projected to rise 27.5% this fiscal year, the PE is 8.7, and the dividend is 1.93%. Despite these excellent "value stock" numbers, a mining stock is going to trade more in tune with metals markets, whereas a PepsiCo with the same valuation would be a good growth stock to own longer-term. Think of this as a trading opportunity, not a buy-and-hold stock.

The stock has been trading in the $49-$61 range, and if it continues this pattern, a buyer at the current price could sell at $58 and net 10% profit in the short-term.

BorgWarner Inc. ($70.89, BWA)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

BorgWarner Inc. (BWA)
is a global supplier of engineered automotive systems and components, primarily for powertrain applications.

"The company is focused on developing advanced powertrain technologies that help improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, allowing auto manufacturers to comply with increasingly stringent emissions standards around the globe." -- Standard & Poor's research, April 16, 2011

"We believe the top-line growth and margin power from unique secular growth opportunities should allow BWA to double earnings and revenues in the next 3-4 years. BWA remains our top-pick in the supplier group and an MS Best Idea." Morgan Stanley research, February 10, 2011

Projected consensus EPS growth is 37%, 25% and 17% for fiscal years 2011 through 2013. The PE is 17, which is low for such a high-growth company.

During the last decade, BorgWarner stock rose steadily until the financial meltdown of 2008. The stock later broke past the previous high in September 2010, and has been climbing in a two-steps-forward-one-step-back pattern. Today's price reflects the one-step-back, and represents a good purchase price. The stock reached the low 80's several times in February and April 2011. A retracement of those recent highs would net an easy 10+% for a short-term trader.

S&P and Citigroup each maintain a $79 price target on BWA (based on April 2011 research reports).

Stock Idea: PepsiCo (PEP, $67.11)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

PepsiCo. Inc. (PEP) is a global food, snack and beverage company.

Projected consensus EPS growth is 8.5%, 9.4% and 9.6% for fiscal years 2011 through 2013. The PE is 15, and the dividend yield is 2.86%.

Standard & Poor's tell us, "PEP said it plans to repurchase about $2.5 billion of stock in 2011 after repurchasing $5 billion in 2010." PEP is on Morgan Stanley's Best Ideas List with a price target of $82.

PEP stock is still recovering steadily from the 2008 financial meltdown. The stock has been trading in the $60-$67 area for well over a year. It could bounce around a little in the $65-$67 area before moving toward $72, then establish a new trading range around $67-$72.

Ford Motor Company (F, $14.75)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

Ford Motor Company (F) is a worldwide producer of cars and trucks. Its business operations are split into two segments, Automotive and Financial Services. Unlike its U.S. competitors GM and Chrysler, which were heading into bankruptcy and required a bailout from the Federal government, Ford is a profitable company with a successful business plan. Read more here.

Ford's profits have been increasing steadily, often surprising Wall St. in recent quarters, and with a price/earnings ratio (PE) of 7.9, the current price represents an extreme value for a growing company.

Ford stock reached its all-time highs more than a decade ago, fell in price during the 9/11-induced recession in the early 2000's, got stuck in a trading range, and then fell again during the financial meltdown of 2008. The stock has recovered from these two economic downturns, and should be an interesting play for both short-term traders and longer-term investors.

The current trading range is $14-$18 per share. I expect the stock to climb above this trading range this year as the company continues to pay down debt, compete aggressively against Toyota, maintain its #2 position in the U.S. automotive market, and surprise Wall St. with upside quarterly earnings reports. A short-term trader could easily make more than 10% profit, and for those with patience, Ford stock could be a star of their 2011-2012 stock portfolio.

"Obama is hiding what appears to be a criminal past."

TRUMP UNCOVERS TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA/AKA-(BARRY SOETORO)OBAMA IS NOT HIS REAL NAME.,HES A FRAUD

Trump is right, Barry Soetoro, AKA Obama is hiding what appears to be a criminal past.
by Atom Ant on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 5:01am


Trump is correct, Barry Soetoro, AKA Obama is hiding something in his past that is very bad... and it may not be his citizenship. (Trump would not say this if he did not know something and he has the money to get the dirt...)

As an IRS tax examiner,one of many former federal jobs, I have seen what it appears Barry Soetoro has done, mostly by illegal aliens attempting to acquire a new identity in the U.S and/or criminals looking to acquire a new ID.

Barry, AKA Obama, was lawfully adopted by a foreign national, Lolo Soetoro, and Barry's name was legally changed to "Barry Soetoro". (Barry’s own admission) Barry Soetoro was also made an official legal Indonesian citizen. (again Barry’s own admission) The adoption would be noted in Barry's vital statistics record in Hawaii on his original birth certificate...

OR Lolo Soetoro may have always been Barry's legal birth farther. The public does not know for sure at this point who Barry's father really was and Barry himself may not know.

Barry was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia and attended a Catholic funded school that permitted all faiths to attend.

Barry's mother dropped him as a dependent for some reason, maybe even when Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. His mother's passport records dropped Barry as a dependent indicating Barry was no longer a legal dependent of his mothers. (The passport records of his mother have been produced showing Barry was no longer a dependent when Barry was permanently residing in Indonesia.) Barry went to Hawaii to live with his alleged grand parents after Lolo Soetoro and Barry's mother divorced.

A "certificate of live birth" can have names changed on it including a child's birth name, and birth parent’s names. Even a modified date of birth can be on a "certificate of live birth". This occurs frequently for adopted children where the birth parent does not want the child to know who they are. The public has no idea who Barry’s real birth father is or who Barry’s real birth mother is. (Barry could have been adopted by his mother) The original birth certificate is the only legal vital statistics record of a person’s birth parents, birth location, birth date, etc… I can get a “certificate of live birth” for a dead person; I cannot get a birth certificate of a dead person without “Deceased” on it. (I’ve tried)

There is no evidence Barry Soetoro ever lawfully changed his name to “Barrack Hussein Obama”. There is no proof Barry Soetoro was born with the name "Barrack Hussein Obama". I’m willing to bet the name “Barrack Hussein Obama” is not present on the real birth certificate as Barry’s birth name or as Barry’s birth father. I have pictures of me with my mother and Jimmy Buffet… that doesn’t make him my father even if I start using the name Jimmy Buffet.

The public knows Barry Soetoro finished high school in Hawaii as Barry Soetoro and attended Occidental as Barry Soetoro where he did drugs and flunked out of school. After dropping out of Occidental, Barry showed up in New York, homeless and on drugs. (Barry’s own admission) Barry then hooked up with a Pakistani to live with and traveled back to Indonesia on his new boyfriend’s dime to renew his Indonesian passport and traveled to Pakistan with him.

Ask any law enforcement officer in a large city or detective and they will tell you homeless young men on drugs in large cities usually end up as male prostitutes. Barry ended up as a world traveler with a degree… (Not likely)

Barry Soetoro returned to New York from Pakistan and began using the fictitious name “Obama” for some reason. (again Barry Soetoro’s own admission) One could only suspect that a person addicted to drugs returning from Pakistan to New York, the main route for Afghan heroin into the U.S., maybe Barry had a reason to start using a new name. There are literally over 1 million open warrants on file in New York… maybe Barry is one of them?....

After spending some time in New York allegedly working under the name “Obama”, It appears Barry used the fictitious name "Barrack Hussein Obama" for the first time to file his federal taxes in Connecticut at a Post Office Box for the purpose of evading paying taxes in New York and /or to establish a new identity. (This is a felony with no statute of limitation.)

When the IRS received Barry Soetoro’s federal tax filing, the IRS could not attach the name Barrack Hussein Obama to the SSI number provided or the address provided. So the IRS assigned the fictitious name "Barrack Hussein Obama" a tax ID number for a person from Connecticut (Where Barry unlawfully filed a federal tax form using a false name). Barry Soetoro began using the tax ID number as his SSI number when using the fictitious name Barrack Obama. This is why Barry Soetoro has a Connecticut SSI number. When I worked for the IRS, I saw this occur more than once and yes, it is a felony to knowingly file a fraudulent federal tax forms. Most of the politicians that cheat on their taxes claim it was an accident. That is how they get away with their tax cheat crimes. Using a fake name is no accident.

It appears Barry fled New York to Chicago using his new identity to get a job . He likely ordered a fake diploma to bolster his new identity as "Obama". Fake Diploma's were very big in the 80's and diploma mills were even being used by federal workers to get promotions. There is evidence his alleged attendance at Columbia was faked (Barry never attended Columbia) and Barry lied his way into Harvard (he had no transcripts to get in)... Including telling the Saudi royal family he was fighting in Afghanistan with the Muslim Jihad against the Russians, so they would help him get into a law school.

The Saudi's apparently loved Barry's story of Jihad in Pakistan/Afghanistan and paid for Barry to attend Harvard under the name "Obama". The Saudi family has admitted to paying for Obama to attend Harvard and gave Harvard a gift of $20 million dollars. Harvard in turn made their special attendy President of the law review a person that never wrote a single law review.... I guess that is what $20 million buys at Harvard.

It is unlikely Barry was a Jihadist and was most likely a drug mule if anything, maybe even a CIA street hire to haul Afghan heroin back to New York, so the Afghans could buy U.S. made stinger missiles with U.S. dollars to shoot down Russian helicopters?... I hired people over seas to do work below my pay grade all the time, even foreign nationals... I think this is the story Barry told the Saudi's, but he was most likely really just a drug mule/dealer and probably still wanted on an outstanding warrant in New York.

Barry’s selective service registration is not normal either… http://www.debbieschlussel.com/4428/exclusive-did-next-commander-in-chief-falsify-selective-service-registration-never-actually-register-obamas-draft-registration-raises-serious-questions/

After I looked at Barry’s selective service filing I noticed it was most likely fraudulent too based on the name he used. Barry did not start using the name "Obama" until he returned from Pakistan (long after he flunked out of school in California) His selective service record (maintained in Chicago coincidentally) shows he registered at a Hawaiian post office as “Obama” in Sept 1980... Problem, Barry was getting high in California at Occidental in Sept 1980 (Barry's own admission) and was not using the fictitious name "Obama" at that time. Barry began using the fictitious name "Obama" only after he returned from Pakistan. The selective service filing is fraudulent.

Barry returned to Chicago and attend a semi-christian radical black church with his first female love Michelle. Barry admits keeping in touch with Phil Boener, who traveled to New York from Occidental to be with Barry and was most likely Barry's first love.

Barry still could not get a real job, because he was still a fraud, even with his Harvard degree in hand he could lie and take the Bar exam, but he could not work as a lawyer for a major law firm without a back ground investigation and he would never pass one. So, Michelle got Barry a job at her law firm. Barry never filed a case alone and never filed a motion. He wrote lost of memos according to the law firm where Barry worked. (I think they know Barry is a fraud and don't want to be sued by previous clients) Barry rescinded his law licenses, so as not to be disbarred for fraud. The Bar knows Barry lied on his application. Michelle also had to turn over her law license for her involvement in corruption with the Chicago mayors office.

With time on his hands Barry, a well spoken black man, was able to get elected to a state office, oddly because he looked for fraud in his opponents voter registrations and got his opponent disqualified from running. Barry a well versed liar was a natural in state politics. He used his political influence to get himself a position as a lecturer at Chicago's law school. Barry embellished this position as a "professor of law" which everyone knows is completely false. Barry was not a professor or even a specialist at anything but lying.

On a whim Barry ran for United States Senate for the State of Illinois. Politicians do this all the time to make a name for themselves even if they can't win. At the time the Republican Ryan was a shoe in for the Senate seat, so no real Democrat contenders entered the race, but Barry did. On a fluke after the primary Ryan's wife Jeri Ryan (Seven of nine from Star Trek) went public that her husband was making her have sex with other people while he watched. Ryan dropped out and Alan Keys moved from Maryland to run against Barry Soetoro.

The election got all kinds of press because there was no blacks in the U.S. Senate and one of these black men was going to be a Senator. Alan Keys did his best to warn everyone Barry was not who he claimed to be, but the public saw him as a carpet bagger. Barry kept the lie going and presented himself as a clean black man that talked like a white man... Illinois elected Barry to U.S. Senate. The Democrats had already began scrubbing Barry's back ground when Ryan dropped out.

Phil, Barry's boyfriend from Occidental, was found working in California as a communications specialist (receptionist) for a dental hygienist school and given a diploma from Columbia and cover story. The rest of Barry's drug friends were all given jobs or money by the Democrat machine to keep quiet.

Because Barry was such a news maker as the only Black in the Senate, and he could speak like a white man he was made key speaker for the Democrat convention. Barry then decided to run for President to keep the lie going. No one thought to question Barry's back ground in the Democrt party... They helped cover up the ugly back ground. The only person jumping up and down warning Barry was not who he claimed to be was Alan Keys and he was discarded as just an angry loser.

Now we have a complete fraud sitting in the Office of the President. Clearly the most corrupt, inexperienced, and ignorant President in the history of the United States who's only quality is that he can lie with a straight face.

Barry Soetoro is as much of a fraud as Bernie Madoff and his house of cards will soon fall down.

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

Abbott Labs (ABT) develops, produces and sells pharmaceutical, vascular, nutritional and diagnostic products in the healthcare industry, with sales of $35 billion in 2010.

Projected consensus EPS growth is 10.1% and 7.63% for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. The PE is 11.0.

The stock has recently been trading in the $46-$53 range, and it looks like it's getting ready to return to its pre-2008 financial meltdown trading range of $50-$60.

Stock Idea: Macy*s (M, $25.00)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

Macy*s (M) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bloomingdale's, sells merchandise in 45 states.

Projected consensus EPS growth is +10.5%, +10.8% and +7.0% for fiscal years 2011 through 2013; with a PE of 10.8.

Macy*s is one of those "two-steps-forward-one-step-back" stocks which is ripe for trading, but frustrating for buy & hold investors. I would be a buyer at the current price, and plan to sell before it reaches $30, expecting it to drop again, then buy it back a few dollars cheaper.

Stock Idea: Monsanto Co. (MON, $69.00)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

Monsanto Co. (MON) produces agricultural products for farmers. "We think investors should use today’s ~6% pullback as a buying opportunity." -- Citi Investment Research and Analysis, 04/07/11

Projected consensus earnings per share (EPS) growth is 18.7%, 18.2% and 12.7% for fiscal years 2011 through 2013. The PE is 24 and the dividend is 1.6%.

The stock has recently traded in the $66-$75 area. With the strength in the earnings projections, I anticipate the stock returning to a former, longer-term trading range of $69 to $90. Based on the likelihood of the stock repeating these trading ranges, Monsant0 presents an opportunity for short-term traders and for medium-term growth investors.

Stock Idea: Apple Inc. (AAPL, $338.89)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

Apple Inc. (AAPL) is a dominant player in the technology industry, and has sales and profits which have been growing like crazy. Apple stock has been trading this year between $330 and $360. Is it overvalued or undervalued? We can't look at a stock price and know such a thing without looking at the numbers which help put it into perspective.

Apple has projected consensus earnings per share (EPS) growth of 51.55%, 15.55% and 12.17% for fiscal years 2011 through 2013. Wow! That tells us that Apple is a fast-growing company. But what does that tell us about the stock price?

We need to look at two more numbers now in order to put the stock price into perspective. Apple's projected EPS for 2011 is $22.96. That means for every share of outstanding stock, the company is expected to clear $22.96 profit in 2011. To find the price/earnings ratio (PE), we divide the stock price by the projected EPS: $338.89 divided by $22.96 is 14.74, which gives us a PE of approximately 15.

Generally speaking, a stock is more undervalued if the PE is below the EPS growth rate, and more overvalued if the PE is higher. In this case, the EPS growth rate is projected at 52% and the PE is 15. There's a huge disparity there, which points to Apple being a value stock.

"But wouldn't a $50 stock or a $20 stock with a PE of 15 and an EPS growth rate of 52% be cheaper and more likely to make me money?" No. ANY stock with a PE of 15 and an EPS growth rate of 52% has a similar valuation, and should theoretically rise or fall a similar amount, assuming other nuances are similar (such as debt levels, product development, etc.).

Short-term traders who would be happy with 6% profit could find a trading opportunity with Apple, and growth investors with a longer time horizon will likely do well also, barring any large stock market disruption.

Chemicals to Huff




Note to my friends: yes, this is a weird blog post. People have been googling "chemicals to huff", and they land on my blog because my name is "Huff". I wanted to post a link for these drug-users to click on. Maybe it won't do any good. Maybe it will save a life. I don't know.

Stock Idea: Altria (MO, $25.94)

(May 16, 2011 update: All future stock posts will appear on my new subscription-only website at www.GoodfellowLLC.com. Please visit!)

Altria Group Inc. (MO) is a holding company for Philip Morris USA and Philip Morris Capital Corporation, providers of tobacco products, wine and financial services.

Altria has a PE of 12.7, and projected consensus earnings per share (EPS) growth of 7.4%, 7.4% and 7.3% for fiscal years 2011 through 2013. With a dividend of 5.86%, there is very little risk in buying the stock and waiting to see what happens this year.

The stock has been trading between $23.50 and $26.00 since September 2010, and has recovered all the ground it lost during the financial meltdown of 2008. Is Altria ready to start reaching new highs? The chart looks ripe for a breakout, but if your alternative is keeping your money in the bank at less than 1%, then owning Altria is a win-win situation, no matter what the stock does next!
