Growth Stocks for a Weak Economic Environment

I'm in a no load mutual fund (VEGAS) that uses the capital to gamble with in Las Vegas. It is diversified over several games like Craps, Blackjack, Roulette and Texas Holdum. So far I'm up 11% YTD.

been clasified as a nut..implying the fractional reserve bank system may run prices by a factor of times 10 to 100......and has taken a collapse...perhaps mostly by housing debtors..?

The problem with this "repatriation" theory is that companies would want to return the overseas cash to the USA even with tax breaks or tax forgiveness. Money goes where the growth and capital spending is and right now growth and capital spending are not in the USA for the large caps sitting on all that money.

He likes Pepsi, let's invest our future in soda pop. You can clean your battery terminals with Pepsi or Coke but should keep it far away from your stomach...

Jeff, earnings growth has peaked.

weak economy? really?... weak means depression for the libtards

I invested in 5 star mutual funds...now they are worth 50% -60% less

blah blah blah...

Bringing money back to the US. It would be nice to talk with customer support and have him or her understand what you are saying. The scripts need to be updated daily. I try to do business with America and English spoken here.

Put your money into the credit union! Let the WS casinos run their game into the ground.

I have some no load mutual funds, but maybe I would have done better investing in Vegas...at least I could have enjoyed losing the money! The large profits are being made by market, currency, option, and commodities manipulators. And, there is no place left in the financial market for the small, hard-working, honest investor.

If the companies Shoenstein is talking about find investment opportunities in the U. S., they can borrow at very low interest rates to finance the investments. Repatriating money from overseas isn't necessary for investment here. The last time the government allowed cash from overseas to come in at low tax rates, doing so did virtually nothing to create jobs.

Seems to me that the "flatness" with which all the equities have been trading for the last 4 weeks can only mean one thing: the wealthy insiders are selling. I wouldn't be surprised if we have a major selloff in the next few weeks, and all those wealthy people buying back at the lower prices. If you are reading this, you too should sell everything you own and buy back later. You've been warned.

the unemployment was worse in half the states.
the unemployment is still over 9%, double that if you counted all the unemployed and
underemployed. the great majority of americans are worse off then they were
three years ago. foreclosures are still out of control. america is still being sold out by
corrupt politicians.

These are huge blue chip companies.
Very safe picks. At least he didn't pick MSFT.

The Markets are not capitalist any more remember they tell you capitalism as long as profits are being generated, but as soon as losses occur they are socialized. So we are living a system of socialized losses to keep the rich get richer, but the capitalism part is not shared with many mid and low class citizens. This leaves the intelligent and cautious investor feeling stupid. Because as soon as there are losses they are socialized and money is snatched from the ordinary people to support the market profits.

The way the market is churning up and down. The serious risk of Europe. Believe me if Bernake is worried there is alot of problems that you can't see. The market is not where you want to be. Look out 3-8 years. The biggest bulk of the Baby boomers will be exiting the market. They have the most monies invested. The jobs currently available to the younger generation pale in comparison to what the baby boomers had. No pension, Limited 401's, They just won't have the monies to invest like the boomers did. So what will happen. The market will probably trend downward.

Here in reality... Getting something for nothing doesn't really make a lot of sense. If you have cash in hand and aren't sure what to do with it? Do nothing with it. Why should interest rates be high? Why should someone get more money just for having it? Don't buy into the get rich quick scheme also know as the Stock Market.

If these fellows really care about people they would never remove food and energy cost from the inflation evaluation number. The trouble is the FED has determined only one way to prove it is working and go down in history books, by popping the rally. It can only do that by hiding the inflation and making us all look capitalist, but as soon as looses occur they turn socialist to help the failing corporations. There are not many countries that have removed FOOD and Energy cost from inflation numbers. Only in America can the looting be helpful as people are strongly controlled by power of law and rallies are ignored as meaningless. Bernanke should never have popped this rally so far higher. As we all noticed the power of greed rally chalked up 20% to 40% on individual stocks in a matter of five days despite companies only beating the lowered earnings.

Growth? These companies barely move. I'll go along with BDX, EMR and UTX, but PEP, CL, PG? Maybe for their dividends, but I would hardly consider them "growth stocks."
