Just Saying…You Can’t Compare Coke to Pepsi

Sometimes what you assume to be true can be wrong. In evaluating stocks as investments being wrong about what a company is or how it makes its money could be catastrophic. In the words of my father "Never assume." Most investors already research companies they know little about in one way or another but with ones that "everyone already knows " that step is often skipped. After all why bother? In taking a fresh look as some big-name companies recently I noticed a few things that proved some of my old assumptions were wrong either about what they were or

Cramer’s Mad Money – Some Stocks Just Deserve To Go Up (4/11/12)

By SA Editor Miriam Metzinger:

Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV Program, Wednesday April 11.

Sherwin Williams (SHW), VFCorp (VFC), Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH), Alcoa (AA), Owens Illinois (OI), Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), Wesport Innovations (WPRT), Travelzoo (TZOO), SBA Communications (SBAC)

When stocks go up, the pessimists try to explain away the good news to paint the picture as more bearish than it is. Cramer used the example of Sherwin Williams (SHW); the bears said the 20% gain in sales was due to warmer weather, but on close investigation, the rise in paint sales was for painting interiors, not exteriors, so warmer weather actually had nothing to do with the gain. After an initial dip, SHW rose $ 5.83 to close at a 52 week high. All winter, bears were telling investors to sell VFCorp (VFC) because of worries about its North Face brand, given the mild weather, but VFC managed

The Graphite Investment Boom Is Just Starting

By Ben Axler:

Introduction

Graphite is quietly emerging as a strategic industrial material in short supply, similar to the rare earth commodities. Years of underinvestment in new supplies, and growing demand sources, have caused prices to rise sharply in the past few years. China, as the world’s dominant supplier, has significantly curtailed exports in an attempt to exert greater control in the market. As a result, it’s not entirely surprising that the EU named graphite as one of 14 critical materials along with the rare earth elements.


EU Names Graphite a “Critical Material”

A new global rush to find quality graphite supplies has just begun. However, not all graphite is created equally, and there is significant quality variation that determines its price and value, which can range up to a few thousand dollars per ton. When investing in graphite companies, it’s essential to find the emerging producers with the right quality graphite to

This Great-Performing Stock Just Got a Lot Better

This Great-Performing Stock Just Got a Lot Better

Not long after I wrote about this big health care firm in December 2010, this stock began a nice hot streak. It's now up 31% in the past 12 months, compared with a 14% gain for the S&P 500 during the same time.

This is undoubtedly a great-performing stock.

But when I first suggested investing in this company, currently best known for its blockbuster rheumatoid arthritis drug Humira, I wasn't thinking much about what the stock might do in the next year or two. What I liked about it then, as I still do now, is how well it's likely to perform over a much longer time span.

So even though the stock's already up 31%, I think it has plenty more room to grow. In fact, I think it could easily rise another 50% during the next three to five years.

I'm talking about Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT).
