Stocks I feel offer a good amount of stability with reasonable upside in the next year.


To invest roughly the same in each stock I picked, the breakdown would be fifteen shares of Ford, eight in Investors, four in Microsoft and one in Toyota. I used this formula to obtain the following:

Starting value (2/10/07): 503.81
Current value: 508.57 +.94%

  • TM

  • $76.79
  • +0.51%
  • $76.61

Industry as a whole on a rise. Shows consistent upswing over past year. Relatively stable.

I remain confident in this industry as a whole for the next year and expect Ford to come up with innovative ways to earn money.

  • ISBC

Slow-moving but with consistent growth and high stability. Not the biggest moneymaker now, but a smart investment option.

  • MSFT
    Microsoft Corpora

  • $29.07

Near flat since 2000, but I believe the stock will improve this year and match the market, possibly beating it, with almost no risk involved.

Q. can anyone explain the BGF seper...
11.12.09 | 20:03 PM Asked by BS7518

A. BGF was an enhanced income security,
which represented one share of common
stock (BGS) plus $7.15 principal amount
of senior subordinated debt. They first
separated the note from the stock, then
did a partial redemption of the bond.
You should have received the following
for each share of BGF
1 share common (BGS)
$4.28 cash per share for the partial
redemption (this includes dividend)
1 note with face value of $3.11

There really is no market for the bond
portion. You will probably end up
holding it until redemption.

Hope that helps.
