I am watching one that I have owned for over 2 decades, the ADRs of Nestlé's, (NSRGY).
It has moved quite a bit what with last week's action by the Swiss Central Bank. On the Swiss exchange, it dropped, but here in America, it went up, because of the jump in the Swiss Franc. |

You really can't go wrong with a company that makes chocolates (among thousands of other things). I've been watching Nippon Shokubai and BASF closely - they don't make consumer products, but they make a key ingredient used in consumer products. |

The second one I am watching is GPT, a REIT.
It did very well in 2014, and I did buy a few shares in December of 2013. It is a comeback story, and they have come back pretty well. Probably won't appreciate as much in 2015, but I do think they have some more room for growth. |

BASF (MasterBuilders) makes some of the most recognizable and most used mid to high grade construction materials, and are very active in the industry. I dont see them going anywhere as long as the world keeps building.
Especially since the rest of the developing world is just now figuring out how to build buildings that perform. |

They produce over 25% of the world's supply of SAP. As lesser developed countries move up they will want what the developed world has for their babies. Disposable diapers. |

My philosophy on individual equities is to buy large-caps that have been reliable payers of dividends. I buy on dips whenever possible, and opportunities sometimes arise as a result of bad news that has short-term negative implications for the company.
For example, I bought Boeing (BA) at $74.00 per share in December 2012 after a flurry of bad news about fires on 787 aircraft. But the company was also in the process of negotiating several billion dollars worth of orders to be filled over the following 15 years. It payed $.0485 per share per quarter in 2013. It payed $.73 in 2014. The first quarterly dividend for 2015 was announced on December 15. It will pay $.91. At current price that's an annual yield of 2.60%. At the price I paid it's more like 4.57%. That's the beauty of buying on dips and holding for the long haul. I let most of my dividend-paying stocks reinvest, so my number of BA shares has increased by a little over 4% since I bought it. My only regret is that I didn't sell some other stocks and buy twice as much Boeing at the time. My worst burn was buying AMD when I thought it had a real chance of staying competitive with Intel. I lost my shirt on that one. |

I have these rules for investing:
It must have real revenue. (vaporware, bitcoin and penny stocks are no go) It must have proven management. (years/decades of making profits and growing the business) There must be a barrier to entry in it's industry (Remember AOL?) It must pay a dividend of at least 3% on price. (no precious metals) I rarely sell a stock; only then if it does not fit the criteria above. I try to buy the issue on a pull back of 5% or more. I also have my portfolio balanced to avoid exposure to one industry. I keep about 10% of my savings in cash to take advantage of a huge drop in prices. Over the last 30 years, this strategy has worked very, very well. |

apple is a great bet.
Also looking at TMV (raising interest rates) and an oil investment. NOTE: I play around with around 10% of my portfolio. The rest is low cost (index) funds. You can not, nor can anyone else, time the market. |

Waiting to buy CHK(Oil/Nat. Gas play) when Im sure its at bottom, this thing is a roller coaster over the years and somewhat predictable.
In on ZIOP at 5.75 right before it started running,coming back a bit but too much in the pipeline going forward. Keeping an eye on AMD ,taking a beating and down to yearly low,conference call today on Q4 numbers. They canned 3 big wigs and are revamping not sure if the new CEO is just there to take the blame or can turn it around. |

How much stock is enough to buy to make it worthwhile?
For a $2 stock, what would you guys suggest buying? 1k shares? For a $400 stock, how much? |

I like Under Armor (UA). It's the only individual stock that I own. The rest is mutual funds. UA is local to me and I see a big upside in the long term.

Some good values out there in dividend stocks, like AT&T. If you like firearm-related stocks, take a look at Olin.
People are always going to be buying internet services (AT&T), bleach and ammo (Olin). |

Strong company beaten down by low energy prices like dozens of others. I usually invest in sectors through mutual funds.

RE:CHK Well on the down side: 1) cheap oil/gas prices now are not good for them. 2) they have a lot of debt 11.6 Billion with a "B" On the plus side: 1) although they are a shale player they are more diverse than most 2) Prices are currently artificially deflated by the Saudi's trying to put a hurt on US shale and they will go back up and CHK SHOULD be diverse enough to whether that storm. 3) Inside directors have purchase 500,000+ shares @23.56/share since November 4) It does pay a small dividend of .35/share 5) it does have positive earnings of .81/share 6) This is the golden nugget, Carl Icahn has loaded up on 66 MILLION shares, he is an" activist" investor who is known for forcing companies to do whatever it takes to bring value to himself ie: stock holders. This stock has not been below 13 in the last 10 years but its been way over or near 30 four separate times,if you can buy and hold until 28.00/30.00 without panic if it dips another few dollars then I think you will do fine buying now. Edit: Full disclosure I bought in @19.22 this morning, 02-11-15 Edit My sell order triggered @20.00 on CHK and sold my AMD @3.00 , made a little on CHK and did well on the AMD. |

Stock is taking a beating over shale concerns but they are more natural gas orientated and taking a beating bigger than they deserve but that's ok for us. By my guess Carl Icahn has lost 500 million on CHK IF he still has his 66 million shares and i would expect hes not going to sit back much longer. As always proceed at your own risk but I just wanted to give a heads up because you asked me to. Edit; looks like Icahn still owns about 30 million shares but he sold over 30 million shares as well. 03/18/15 edit: http://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2015/03/17/five-oil-stocks-to-buy-as-two-top-oil-traders-call-a-bottom/2/ |
