Yeah, I've been watching F as well and am ready to buy.

Heck, they were up 30% today.

Stay the hell away from GM though! IMHO, of course!

Nope you are definitely right... if I had to bet on one it would be Ford... GM is not looking pretty... even with $25 billion more cash they don't look good!

Especially when GM's target price is $0.00.

I have been buying the hell out of Marriott stocks. The lodging industry is taking a hit right now, but at around 14 bucks a share, it's a steal. A year ago it was 40 and up and will be back in the future.

70% of my 401k contributions are buying Marriott right now.

70% in one stock. I must assume you work for the company.

I said that too when I thought about loading up the truck at $2. Could have bought a lot of cigars at todays close if I pulled the trigger...

Of course, lets not forget that hitting #20 on Roulette makes you feel good, but its still gambling. No different in the market these days. Who would have ever thought you could day trade the dow or s&p.... Crazy days.

I think the only real prudent thing to do is load up on high dividend yield stocks with good, solid fundamentals and hold on. Buy some every month and be prepared to hold on for 5+ years. You WILL make money this way. Its not sexy, but the smart folks consider it a marathon, not a sprint when it comes to stocks.

But, being human, I am playing the spiders (SPY) a little just for kicks.

Marriott went up 3 bucks a share since I posted last......

Within a year, it will be at least 30 bucks a share or I will eat a spoonfull of dog crap on live video feed for all to see. How's that?

At $23.70 today.

I'm hoping for all of us it makes it to 30. Although the video would be epic.
