IRA that I have had for years. Random selection of ideas over the years without much overall portfolio consideration. Bias is toward dividends/yield.

Loved dividend and looked cheap. I thought AHM was unfairly punished by the subprime crisis since they are not really into the subprime space. However, they have been pummeled as the overall market for mortgage-backed securities has suffered and they have cut their dividend, although it still provides a double-digit yield.

ALJ

Cheap, well-run refiner. I have been meaning to look at other refiners.

JPM
Jp Morgan Chase C - $42.46
- -0.21%
- $42.47
Good bank with good dividend yield.

SDY
Spdr S&p Dividend - $45.45
- -0.08%
- $45.32
I like dividends, so I like this EFT of dividend payers.

DHI
D R Horton Inc - $10.37
- -15.35%
- $11.47
Thought the homebuilders were cheap, but they sure got cheaper! Am taking a bath on this one right now.

GS
Goldman Sachs Grp - $170.01
- -1.63%

Cheap stock, great franchise.

IAI
Ishares Dj Us Bdi - $28.17
- -0.42%

An ETF I bought because I like the brokers but didn't want to buy them all separately.

PMK
Pma Cap 8.5 Sr Nt - $9.00
- -1.10%
- $9.10
Like OUI, more like a bond than a stock. I have a small gain in it but am holding for the monthly payments.

A. If you are standing in line on Black
Friday watch out for pickpockets
disguised as shoppers.Also CNN Money has
a bias against people running their own

funds.If you need a good laugh pick up a
copy of Money Magazine for a lesson in
Economic Propaganda.
