Tip:

If you want an easy way to "calander" the earnings for your stocks, setup a portfolio on google.com and when you log in, it will automatically have the news for your stocks plus any earnings, conference calls, and other activities easily laid out months ahead.
Thanks for the tip

I like other sectors.....long term.......but I think energy is a good long term bet. lots of money to be made.


I also like Land, Food, Services, etc.

I like financials....just definitely not now.....and I like housing.....but definitely not now.....or probably anytime soon.

I can't figure why RIMM didn't get a lift after the Bold started selling in Canada. Does look attractive today. So does GOOG!

I got into T at $30-and-change a few days back. Can't believe it got that low.

I like other sectors too. For example for fast food I like YUM and Canadian Banks I like BMO, RY, BNS, & TD. TD just increased there dividends to .61 cent each quarter. Also the Canadian bank doesn't have much loans tied into the sub prime crap.

Why I like tech? Tech is a strong sector going towards back to school and towards the X-mas season. IMO AAPL is just getting started taking away market shares from other PC makers. Last year and this year AAPL offers students free I-Pod with a purchase of any AAPL computers. Meaning, it's even more attractive for a student to buy a Mac over a PC.

RIMM is still going to be able to holds it's grounds for awhile because not everyone can afford the I-Phone. Rogers is the provider for Canada and they are ripping the Canadians offer big time on the data plan. The I-phone was hot in Canada until people found out how crazy expensive the data plan was. Also I believe the cell phone market is big enough for AAPL and Rimm to nice growth together.
