J P Morgan

Anything is the realm of a food enterprise...people will always need to eat.

Florida Utilities local and or staewide.

RIOM at $1.67 pps Bought this past week Rio Alto Mining Ltd ! High risk and not a stock to buy with your grocery money. Plan to hold until $2.50 pps hopefully this year. Happy New Year!

QID ... this from my wife who trades daily!

Johnson & Johnson

I really appreciate everyone playing along. Really interesting and very DIVERSE replies.

I was looking at Wellpoint Inc (WLP) or Centene Corp (CNC). Both could benefit from the likely increase in the Medicaid participants. I haven't found another "expert" who has this as a good purchase option :shrug:

RIOM close ay $2.20 today, up 32% this month. Do I win :-):coolsmiley:

General Electric

Just bought some more Berkshire Hathaway yesterday. I look at is as a well run mutual fund.

GLOG

Not enough space here to tell you how the transportation of natural gas is the sweet spot in energy. GLOG is rated a strong buy (1.6) by analyst. They have been on a tear acquiring LNG ships. LNG is cleaner than coal but takes specialized ships to transport. LNG is in the wrong locations. We have too much. Asia and Europe don't have enough. Our prices are based on Henry Hub, everyone else's LNG is based on crude. LNG is also a national security interest for a number of east European countries that get their natural gas from Russia. Russia likes to turn the spigot to get its way. GLOG ships are under contract the minute they are launched and never stop steaming. It's the gift that keeps on giving. I'm long GLOG. My personal research. Not based on any broker or guys like Cramer.
