Date updated:11-11-2007

These are the four stocks I currently own for a variety of reasons. I have only recently started seriously adding other stocks and I hope to learn from the experience of others. I'm looking for other good (or better) stocks in the under $30 range.

I originally had listed other stocks I like to follow or just like in general, but looking towards the future I moved them to separate portfolios.

  • CSE
    Capitalsource Inc
  • $3.78
  • -4.06%
  • $3.91

In at $18.53, August 2007. Going long for the dividends, future looks great for this company.

  • TSN
    Tyson Foods Inc C
  • $13.07
  • 0.00%
  • $13.02

I own this stock because I worked for this company in the early 90's and it was offered as an employee benefit. Shortly after I left the company my original shares split 3 for 2. It was automatically set up with a Dividend Reinvestment Plan so it has continued to grow without any attention from me. I'm going long with this company.

This stock is all over the place. This company manufactures, markets, and sells "nano precipitated calcium carbonate (NPCC)" in north China. Used in a wide variety of products and recently increased manufacturing capacity. Still lots of growth potential. In at $6.70.

Wow, comments already? I wasn't expecting that. I don't know enough about Sirius, just see that it is priced low and want to learn more about it. Several of the stocks I have listed I have watched for years and thought about buying them when they were at their worst. If I had they would all be worth much more today. I want to try to take that intuition and try to combine it with understanding the fundamentals of companies that turn that corner.

I just started this on the 9th and I am just playing with this site.

Over the last three-and-a-half years these haven't been a particularly good set of stocks. You'd have been much better off with the S&P 500: more return, much less risk. And their average correlations of returns have been almost +25%; you should look for better diversification.

What makes you think these are going to be better performers in the future?

You have all these solid picks and then.....Sirius.
