• Q: Is AT&T (T) ever going to break above $30 again? Why are they lagging so much
  behind where they were a year ago?

• A: Buy if for the divvy and trade around a core position. That's what I do. When T goes up,
  say in the $28-30 range I'll sell some and when it drops to the $24 range I buy some. It
  has been a laggard so I've pretty much just been collecting the divvy. more

• Q: I am looking for some advice on Ford - This is the first company that I
  purchased and have been adding to my possition over the last couple of years(I
  have 600 shares with a cost average of $5.68/share)and have realized a double in
  my money. I don't want to be piggish but feel strongly that this stock has
  another $4 or $5 gain potential in the next 6 months or so. Should I take some
  off the table and play with my profits or is there really more upward movement
  in this stock. Also any ideas on how long before Ford might start their
  dividends again? Your advice and comments are greatly appreciated. I am still
  reasonibly new to the market and have never sold any of my stocks; just been
  adding to my holdings.

• A: Hold at least until it goes back up past 12 the market has been down and it would be
  better to sell on a good day. My opinion though is to hold the stock ford has been doing a
  lot of good stuff to make their stock climb(like selling volvo) I know that ill be holding
  on to my shares until I see signs to a downtrend more

• Q: I am really puzzled why AT&T - T - is stuck in the rut that it hasn't seemed to
  be able to break out of. It's a solid company with consistant dividents, an
  increasing market share and with the Apple iPhone service; you would think that
  this company should be reaching out towards it's 52 week high and establishing
  an even stronger showing. I know the Quarterly Report is due tomorrow and
  indications are that this company will beat earnings, based mostly on it's Apple
  exclusivisity and the increase of new contracts. What will be needed to bring
  this stock back to the $30+ price?

• A: well stocks that are making 52wk highs are not exactly all junk stocks. IBM,AMZN,AAPL are
  not junk. what they are is growth. T doesnt have much of it. thats its problem. not to
  mention the sector as a whole hasnt been that good since the 90's. more

• Q: What is the easiest way to determine book value or value of a company per share
  outstanding to help determine what the company is worth. Or what is the better
  way to determine the upper and lower range that a stock should be valued at, to
  make the best choice of purchasing or selling of stocks. Thanks in advance for
  the info.

• A: Book value is just a calculation from a company's balance sheet:
  book value = stockholder's equity / number of shares outstanding
  
  One way to get a range of values is to look at the company's historical p/e or other
  metric and see how high or low it has varied over time. Whether a stock price is high or
  low is a little like beauty ... it's in the eye of the beholder. db more

• Q: I am curious about a stock that goes to $0.00 or the company that goes Bankrupt.
  
  
  Situation is I own Ford (F) and still have faith that the company can recover.
  What happens if the stocks slip to $0.00 - do they just dissapear or can they
  still gain value after that?
  
  If the company goes Bankrupt - what happens to the stocks value over time?
  
  I have a long term outlook for this company (10 years or more) and am really
  curious as to what happens in these two situations.
  
  Please advise and inform me.

• A: If you're holding Ford for the long term please understand that it quite possibly could go
  to $0 and you could lose your full investment. Why? because once a company files for
  bankruptcy its the bond holders that get there money first, not the common stock
  shareholders. Most of the time shareholders of the common stock get nothing. I understand
  you're wanting to hold Ford long term as an investment, however with the financial shape
  that all 3 auto compaies are in, buying their common stocks is like pulling the handle on
  a slot machine.

• Q: Question for all -
  
  I own an equal amount of MO & PM; I got into this before the split and neither
  stock has preformed unexpectedly. I got into MO for the steady dividend and use
  it as a DRIP for growth, These stocks are 6.5% & 5% respectively for dividends.
  I'm looking at 10 or more years before I will NEED to think about cashing them
  out.
  
  My question is should I keep my position the same with these, consolidate them
  to one company (and if so which one should I stay with)or cash out of them both
  all together?
  
  Thanks in advance

• A: Of the two, I suppose PM is the better long term because it sells in countries not as
  hostile to tobacco. I bailed on both PM and MO recently. If you like a sin stock, why not
  DEO? Cramer hasn't mentioned it lately, think it's paying slightly over 5%. Hard to say
  which of the two, booze or tobacco, does more societal harm, but booze is more heavily
  regulated and taxed. more

• A: So, when it's oversold that could mean a potential buy point although there are some other
  indicators used in conjunction with that that you can read about it on your own. more
