Thoughts:
- I'm a little concerned that NEU's value has run up quite a bit and their last quarter was slower. They have earnings coming up on 1-29. Currently they seem to be at or near upper bounds of valuation ranges, so I'm taking it that the market expects good results. If not I'm a little worried.
- INTC Intel issued cautious outlook, but I'm hanging in there with them. I have a difficult time seeing them not being major player w/ big cost advantages.
- JOY Joy Global is the most recent addition. They make heavy capital equipment for mining.
Looking out there - if I add money to the market right now it'll probably be more to these existing positions, or only in a few smaller positions in smaller companies I have my eye on. I've looked at MSFT some, but am going to hold off now due to margins and slow revenue - but I'm going to keep eye open. They look so inexpensive and are paying an easily sustainable 3.4% or so yield right now. I'm also looking a bit at a dividend payer YZC, the largest chinese coal mining company with ADRs here. Growth demands need energy, but it is coal and I read many stories about air quality problems in China, so not sure how demand situation will play out.
