"I thought it was important last night when Charles Bunch, the CEO of PPG (PPG), told me that this is a terrific level to lock in natural gas prices. As a company that has natural gas as its largest cost, that's significant." "Don't Write Off Oil and Gas Stocks," 6-12-09

Same thing with a stock like a Verizon (VZ) or AT&T (T). Same with PPG (PPG). Same with VF Corp. (VFC). Same with Nike (NKE). They are going to have good numbers with all of this retail activity. This is the break I want to use to buy a stock like that. Nothing wrong with them. Good yields. They will see a turn if things get better.

"We also saw not bad numbers from Emerson (EMR), PPG (PPG) and Illinois Tool Works (ITW) last week -- not bad, meaning simply these big companies didn't swing to colossal losses as could have been expected. Let's include IBM (IBM) in that parade, too. Think about it: Should these companies be making any money at all in this environment?" ("'Not Bad' May Just Be Good Enough Here," 4-21-09)
