Fortunately, if the bottom is only six months off, the prospects of owning stocks that are not all acyclical can make sense -- hence why I am busy buying Black & Decker (BDK) and Eaton (ETN) for Action Alerts PLUS. But I still think the best values rest in the stocks that do well with no real economic activity but are down horribly nonetheless, the ones that benefit in a world where unemployment is still going up, the economy isn't stabilizing, the dollar is going lower and so are commodities: Gilead (GILD) (the best-acting stock in the market, by the way, and a big Obama stock because he actually recognizes that AIDS is a problem), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Procter & Gamble (PG) are the kingpins of that strategy. I, like everyone else, will be very glad to see this year end, a year that singularly wrecked equities and investing for a generation of Americans whether they be with the Bill Millers or the Bernie Madoffs. A truly revolting year. Let's hope next year's a better one. Hard not to be.”

Q. Anyone buying CVS?
11.12.09 | 11:07 AM Asked by Skee Daddy

A. Was planning on buying it last week
after it tanked below 28.90, but decided
to hold off to see how the stock
performed for a few days after the bad
news. Should have bought; would have had
a one and a half point gain. In spite of
the bad news, financials still look
decent with a 10.7 forward PE and a 38%
earnings increase for the latest
quarter. However, they do carry a
significant amount of debt.
