    CSCO, Anyone Buying

    I am thinking of buying at current price, $14.93 as a longer term hold. I read the previous listing and just wondered if anyone has changed their minds as the stock has feel further. Of course, the overall outlook on the market is rather dreary at this time so imagine things could get worse...

    Federal Civil Service Retirement

    It is interesting while I did not receive a cost of living increase this year (which I understand due to low inflation); however, no one told Blue Cross. They managed a nice increase in premiums which does hurt.

    Walmart Electronic

    I have been told that electronics bought at Walmart particularly TV's are built as cheaply as possible and do not reflect the quality of the brand name. I also understand that if they need repair one is unable to obtain parts. One technician called about a brand name to his parts provider...

    Purchasing a New Car

    I have been thinking of buying a new Nissan Sentra but I was wondering with everything that is happening in the financial markets when would be the best time to shop for a car. Also, would paying cash be an advantage to obtaining the best deal. I would appreciate anyone's opinion.

    Market 15% overpriced

    I was listening to Don Putnam, Grail Partners, on CNBC this morning and he feels the stock market has been denying the credit crisis and has been expecting the market to continue as it has in the past. He says this is a mistake and he feels the market is 15% overpriced at the 11000 level. I...

    Bluetooth Headsets

    Does anyone know of a bluetooth headset that has a high volume level for hearing impaired individuals such as me (too many rock bands)? I bought one that was supposed to have a good volume but it was not loud enough. I would think with the population getting older someone would be advertising...

    1 Year of Retirement

    As of 1 Feb I will have been retired for one year. It has been great. I don't understand how one could ever complain of being bored. There are always fun things to do that do not cost anything. If noting else my library is full of books. I am a musician, guitar, and play in two bands. One...

    New Year Stock Market

    I would like to hear some opinions on what the New Year will hold for stocks. I have to say I am not very optimistic. Last year I sold most of my stock funds and now have only about 20% in the stock market. The remainder is in safe MMF but only making 4% or so, not real safe since...

    Utility Stocks

    I have not seen anyone post anything recently on Utility stocks. I heard on MSNBC this would be a good dividend play such as ED? I don't know how oil prices would effect this, oil being 95.79 as I write this.

    Siri

    Does any have an opinion on this stock? Jim Cramer seems to think it a good speculative play. According to him: Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI): 'Siri is going to $1 or $2 if they don't get the merger done and to $6 or $7 if they do get the merger done. That's a pretty decent risk/reward.'

    Direction of US Economy

    I was wondering if someone much more knowledgeable than I could address these issues. 1. Oil prices are over $90.00 but gas prices do not reflect this increase. Why? 2. How bad is the banking system? 3. How does the average middle class person maintain his standard of living, i.e. two...
