Yep, it's been good. I own it and it's up 776% since I bought it in May 2009. Fifth Third Bancorp has been my 2nd hottest stock, followed by Teck Resources Limited and Ford.

I'm a sucker for solar stocks, but they've been disappointing - except for Canadian Solar and SunPower.

I'm planning to increase my portfolio, and here are some of the stocks I'm looking at:

BRK-B Berkshire Hathaway

NSC Norfolk & Southern Railroad

UNP Union Pacific Railroad

CSX Railroad

WAB Westinghouse Air Brake

YHOO Yahoo!

Any good advice would be appreciated, including other stocks to consider. I'm looking at a one to five year horizon.

I seriously would consider buying stock in the company that makes depends diapers for adults as their are a lot of bitter baggers wearing or going to be wearing them shortly. same with baby food.

I'm guessing you chose BRK because Warren Buffet is the owner and he wants to soak the rich. You do realise that BRK doesn't pay a dividend, correct?

I'm after growth, not dividends. I'm considering BRK because it's the only way to get a piece of Burlington Northern railroad. Plus, it includes some other good companies like GEICO. However, Berkshire is my least favorite of the ones I'm considering.

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on Yahoo! I'm impressed by Marissa Mayer. Plus, she's cute and has nice legs...

Wait a minute. Didn't the radical left just support the "occupy Wall Street" OWS rabble a year ago? Now they are playing the stock market?

Firearms and ammunition companies...

Yes, they've been doing well. Sturm, Ruger & Co. is up 568% over five years. However, I don't foresee that rate of growth continuing. If I invested in gun stocks - this would be it.

Why wouldn't you. The marketing consortium for gun manufacturers (the NRA) incited the nut jobs.

I believe I've found out why we have such a 'gun rush'.

You should invest in whatever toy companies advertise on children's TV and in the pharmaceutical company that comes out with the newer generation Viagra. I was not allowed to buy pharmaceutical stock when Viagra came out due to it being considered a conflit of interest. But I got word that Pfizer was going to split. I told a friend who was a big investor, but he didn't listen. Too bad. It did. And Ely Lilly. Anybody who would have bought that before Prozac would be sittin' pretty. Watch for pharmaceutical favorites.

 

[Polk]

I hate that some of my money got tangled in an account transfer, or I would have gone heavy on a Nikkei index fund.

 

[Smilodonfatalis]

Pharmaceuticals.....we are an aging population.

Agreed. I'm 66. Any particular pharmaceuticals you would recommend?

I have Merck and Bristol-Meyers.

Brystol-Meyers is wildly overpriced. Merck is still a pretty good buy compared to its historic highs.

Check out the yield on KCAP. I own shares of that and I love that one every time the dividend pays.

I don't know anything about railroad stocks but I would avoid Berkshire Hathaway and Yahoo.

Isn't Berkshire Hathaway the most expensive stock on the market?

There are two Berkshire stocks: BRK-A is currently $166,020.00/share; BRK-B is currently $110.83/share. My understanding is they mimic each other - except for voting rights.

Thanks for the KCAP tip. That's a nice dividend yield (10%).

Look at whatever the clueless sheeple are buying and short sell it.

I read somewhere that Berkshire Hathaway hasn't performed as well recently as just a plain Standard and Poors Index Fund.

YTD: +23.84% (pretty good)

1 year: +40% (pretty good)

5 year: +25% (pretty bad)

BRK-B, I've been watching it for a couple of years.....from $79-80 to $100+. Not to bad of an increase.

Lakhota, have you made your purchases or are you still looking?
You know me from another board and I had a different screen name there...k65!
I have a few lower priced ones that you might like to do DD on???
