I own it and I like risk. While some people are slamming them, I tend to like it because they have put out decent EPS's recently...but with them being in Europe, it's not always easy to find info on it. I also like their dividend, assuming it stays at its current price.

1. I own it 2. I like risk 3. I feel with new management at the helm they will be able to right the ship.

The "safest" of the bank stocks. If I could afford GS, I would buy it in a heart beat.

This is another stock I own. I was lucky and bought it at 3.64, now its at $9.23, which for me is a 160% increase. I don't understand why this stock is down so much, they had good numbers, and as far as I could tell, they didn't owe their government any money, unlike other Irish banks. Does this mean there's not any risk? By all means, no, but, assuming the dividend stays, you could ad great value to your portfolio and help to build wealth.

This is a small company in Plano, TX that I found by just doing a little research. The stock has been priced higher and was making me money but the market killed that. One reason I like this stock is because it is for oil exploration. Now what they do with that will determine how succesful they are. However, for the mean time, it appears they will be operating at a loss per their annual statement they send.

This is a stock that I like and am considering buying. It isn't too expensive at the moment and as the MotelyFool says, "represent an opportunity for future price appreciation", and who doesn't want that? Viewing their previous quarter, they are turning a profit and have a positive cash flows statement. Cash Flows is something I've placed a greater interest in lately as in this economy it shows who can potentially stay afloat and who might sink. In all, this is a company I would like to catch on the rise and getting in now would probably be a good idea.

Besides VLO, this is one of the more affordable oil stocks. Currently oil prices are rising and COP looks poised to cash in. Apparently they have a 20% steak in Russia's Lukoil, and Russia is becoming more of a player in the global economy.

I own this stock, even though I'm dissapointed that it hasn't done better. But, it does pay a nice dividend.
