Shopping Lists

* The Dow is now down three quarters in a row.
* Worst June since the great depression.
* New home sales at levels not seen since 1991.
* Bell-weather companies like General Electric giving dividend yields they haven't given in decades.
* Consumer sentiment nearing a 25-30 year low.

I can go on and on...

The point is: it's time to start making a shopping list because there is blood on the streets.




Some companies I'm keeping an eye on as the valuations come in:

NKE: I think the selloff was overdone. It's best of breed, internationally diversified and looks attractive at present valuation.

CMG: Remember when this was a $150 stock. Well, that was 6 months back. Now in the low $80s, it looks compelling.

WMT: Could this be the year when Walmart finally breaks its 10 year churn to move to the upside?

GOOG: Great visibility into 2009 and 2010 with their display adverstising and mobile search initiatives.

ISRG: Now at a peg of 1.4, becoming reasonable on valuation. Their last guidance was weak, but the stock seems to have discounted that.

MVL: I won't go jumping into Marvel, but I do like what I see. Could it be a Disney in the making? I'm thinking theme parks, retail licensing, production services etc.


What's on your shopping list?

I don't see alot of upside In GOOG.

It is 3-4 times overvalued in my humble opinion and that is why this market has marked it down off its highs.
