Hi Zim!

Just a quick check in.

Those are all decent PE ratio's. NOT outlandish. Conservative.
It's okay to own SOME tech stuff but I would be cautious to make sure it actually has some real earnings to go with it.

It just seems to me that real companies that are in business are in business to make PROFITS.Those who do not and continually do not, are going to eventually take a lot of people and their money down the toilet with them when they file for bankruptcy.

So, I know I am being perhaps a little old school and such, but I don;t have much faith in stock prices soaring in companies that all they do is lose money hand over fist year after year after year.....

I like your holding! I would add KR to that list. WHY?
WHO does not buy groceries every week? Kroger is a good solid company.....
JMO.

micro....

Micro> Look at PE ratios for example. Look at Profits or lack thereof.

Funny you should say that.
When I printed out my report yesterday I also printed
out the trailing P/E (from Yahoo - which is not as good
as it used to be).

Dominion Resources (D) P/E 15.35
OGE (Oklahoma utility) P/E 16.41

Clorox (CLX) = 24, Cracker Barrel (CBRL) = 20

The worst I own some of is Coca Cola (KO) at 45.

AT&T (T) is 8 and Pfizer (PFE) is 10.4

Do I own the wrong stuff?
(Or am I doing what I did in 1999 - avoiding the high
flying tech stocks.)

By the way,
Why did I say Yahoo Finance was not what it used to be?
Used to be I could look at the div/share column and
it was accurate - showing me that the dividend was
about to go up. Lately the numbers seem to be below
what I just got a check for.

Zim.
