I like a few things about:
1) nobody can avoid it
2) no 3rd world competition
3) no threats of "new technology making present one obsolete"
4) 17 P/E ratio, 1/3rd of the industry average

I once had a job at a florist. Over 50% of business came from funerals. Hundreds of dollars for shit flowers glued to plastic crosses. But no shortage of business.

Probably more like 75%, I didn't really count but it was depressing making those things all day.

Cherry,
I got STON last week
11%+ dividend, but 43 P/E

STEI is for capital appreciation and I don't feel depressed,
this should come 30 years from now
;)

I lost my father and then grandfather in a 7 month period. Unbelievable what we spent. And I'm talking about expenses outside of their burial policies, which covered a shitload.

How do poor people afford to die?

Holly, I guess cremation.

Remember the movie "The Big Lebowsky"?

PersianKitty · 01-27-2008, 10:23 PM

I wish I understook the stock market. I dabble a bit here and there but for the most part what I've bought I've done for the long term.

To be in it seriously, it's a daily...more so second by second, job.

Hats off to those who can get in and get out on stocks and make some good money at it.

PK, I do both, dailies and long term.

Dailies are like sig whoring,
you can make a few $$ here and there but you'll never make a fortune.

Finding the stock one can sleep well at night for 5-10 years and make 10,000% on the money is an art form and..I am still learning
;)

Just don't put all your eggs in one basket. I'm sure you don't. Most of my long term is Money Market and annuity stuff. I do have a few stocks I've held on to since '97 or so. Never put more than 5 figures into single stock though. I'm not that big a risk taker.

BTW.. curiosity got to me and I joined your forum, but of course can't get into the private board. Help?!

I am going to post on the regular one in a bit about some dessert wine and something else I'm looking for.

Yeah. The funeral home we used would probably charge you 1k for a Folgers can, though.

My grandfather was a monumental sculptor, in other words he made grave stones. He started when he was 14 years old in Scotland and worked at that for his entire life up until he passed away about 10 years ago now at the age of 84.

Everything used to be done by hand using a hammer and chisel. Then they started using rubber stencils for the designs and sandblasting the stones. Both of these methods were quite time consuming one man could do 3 or 4 stones a day sandblasting, which was a lot better than 1 stone every few days when using hammer and chisel.

Now everything is all automated using computer hardware and software. Companies setup using these advanced techniques can pump out an enormous amount of stones daily. I would estimate roughly 20 stones per day give or take a few, which is a tremendous improvement from when it was all done by hand.

It's one of the only businesses that still thrive during a depression. I always remember my grandfather having as much work as he wanted even turning work away at times because he had more than he could handle by himself. He would also usually take a few months off during the winter as that was the slow period. It wasn't that less people were dieing during this time but the ground around here would freeze making it difficult to dig the hole to put the stone in. This made spring an especially busy time from the backlog of orders taken during the winter months.

His motto was "People are dieing for my services!!"

Nocomment don't you think anything with a big dividend in a time with 3% t-bills will be good? I was thinking even finacial stuff has to start looking good in a few months.

Annuities are the waste of money, returns suck big time, I can't force myself into buying them. One of my rules is:
no more than $100k per issue, I learned from the best - JoeE, he crashed and burned so hard and so fast in stock market, that his trading should be studied by all

My WORST and SHAKIEST investments at the moment are:
100k in Ford bond and 200k in GM bond. I was greedy for high coupon.
;(

Vast majority of my dough is in CD's and Government sponsored bonds.

Due to the fact that my income from the internet and all related businesses never exceeds $25 a month, dividend is what I am looking for.

In Financials I own, for better or for worth, TMA which pays 25 cents quarterly and under 9 the stock is a good buy IMHO and the bunch of ETF's like:
HTR, IGD, PHK, ZTR, ZF, EEF, ETJ all paying over 10% dividend, mostly of them monthly and sell well below NAV
Check them out.

will do and look into eqr. Apartments do better in low rate environments. But the trading is so easy right now that it is hard to hold anything. CFC I am trying to keep some in the account but it runs so well I end up dumping it all the time. Not sure why CFC is not trading in lock step with BAC. BAC was green this am and CFC was red....

nocomment my icq is 166708909. hit me if you want to chat trading.

will do, talking trading is good for the soul and sometimes even for the wallet

I got in STEI at the average of 6.87, got out of 7.03 for the quick 2.3% gain.
and will pick up more if it drops.

There is no business like "You all going to DIE!!!!!"
business

But...I still sit on STON
