		<description><![CDATA[It seems that everywhere we turn these days, the buzz is on about cloud computing. There are commercials that send people &#8220;to the cloud&#8221;, and never ending radio spots that refer to cloud computing. Get a grip folks! There is nothing special about using the internet to create and access computer files. The ability to do that has been around a pretty good while. Ever heard of Google Docs? Or how about this? Have you ever accessed an e-mail account via the internet from a computer that was not your own? Welcome to cloud computing. The point we are trying to make is that it’s all a bunch a hooey, intended to make the consumer, or in this case the investor, think they on the cutting edge of some new ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A research client of ours is a member of the American Association of Individual Investors, an organization that we have been associated with off and on as individual investors, since the mid 1990s. Several days ago we received an e-mail from our client asking us for a Raw Value worksheet for Frequency Electronics, Inc., (Nasdaq: FEIM). In the e-mail, they explained that they had run across the company using a screen on the AAII site. We did some checking, and while we did have the company on our watch list, we had never taken the time to create a valuation worksheet. As we have said on many occasions, we like companies that make stuff, that companies that make stuff, need, picks and shovels companies we like to call them. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last fall, we were asked what we thought of for-profit university and trade school companies as investment vehicles. Our reply at the time was that we had not found one that was not extremely over priced. We cited an article we had written about Stayer Education, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRA) last year. In the article we noted that in our opinion, the stock was extremely over valued and that new investors saving for retirement, may simply be too late to the party to use this stock as a means to help them reach their retirement goals. So we were a bit amused when we received a request a few days ago from someone that had read our prior article, but wanted to know what we thought of Apollo Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Writing this is going to be hard. As the matter of fact it is going to be one of the hardest things we have ever done. And the reason that&#8217;s so, is because we all work for a living, we all have families, and in some cases, not only have we worked in Lower Plaquemine&#8217;s Parish, some of us work for big oil. Because we have a bit of a unique perspective, we see the massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico as an event that will have human and ecological consequences lasting for generations, just as we know there is no amount of money that can be spent that will bring back the lives of the 11 people that perished when the Deepwater Horizon caught fire and sank. ]]></description>

What we do know is that every Saturday morning, we click a button and the weekly closing price for all 2600 companies, is updated Incorporatedluding the 349 in the Basic Industry Segment. Just as we have no clue, about what all of the companies on our watch list actually do, we have no idea why the little voice that lives in all of the transistor radios in America decided that each quarterly earnings season should start with Alcoa, Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[There was an on-line article several weeks ago, which quite frankly, we thought was a big lot of baloney. The article explained that consumer spending, supposedly 70% of economic activity, had surpassed it&#8217;s pre-recession peak. As we said, we think such a statement is big load of hot air, something a recent Gallup Poll seems to support. So we were not at all surprised, given the news of recent weeks about consumer spending, to get several requests for our thoughts on T-shirt and thong retailer Abercrombie and Fitch Company (NYSE: ANF). Basis Financial information related to Abercrombie and Fitch Company, contained in this report, is based on the company&#8217;s most recent SEC Form 10-K filing for fiscal year ending January 30, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We were asked last week why we never investigated biotechnology companies. To set the record straight, we own shares in a biotechnology company, Oncothyreon, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONTY), a clinical stage company developing cancer treatment therapies. But to answer the question directly, we don&#8217;t investigate biotechnology companies because the vast majority offer little in the way investment risk mitigation, which is a polite way of saying that an investment in companies in the biotechnology sector is a very big gamble, and if we wanted to gamble we would just go to Las Vegas where we think there a better odds. Enter Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBST), a company focusing on acute care. It was the &#8220;acute care&#8221; part that piqued our curiosity.

		<description><![CDATA[In our opinion, had Mr. Obama spent the past year repairing America&#8217;s holes by getting Americans back to work instead of using all of his political capital to get the health care bill passed, we think the American economy would be much further along the road to recovery than it currently may be. One of the areas where we have been extremely disappointed is the lack of commitment on the part of the Obama Administration towards America&#8217;s infrastructure, which was originally how a large portion of the economic stimulus monies were going to be spent. All of this came to our attention several days ago in an article we noticed that mentioned that America&#8217;s railroads were handling more traffic. Certainly such news may be great for Warren Buffett, given the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, while we were all sleeping, somebody, somewhere, decided that the recession was over. We hate to sleep through such major events but nobody told us what time this was going to happen and so, we failed to set our collective alarm clocks. Evidence that the recession has ended can be found on the Time business blog, which is how we came to realize the end had happened while we slept. Never mind that the unemployment rate in February was 10.4% and that debt to GDP stood at 89.2.5616%. Heck the recession is over. And that&#8217;s that. We bring this up because it occurs to us that what is needed in these situations is a way to obtain a fair and accurate measurement, one that is traceable to the National ]]></description>

Then yesterday we noticed an article at the New York Times site that talked about the excessive risks that have been taken, and are still being taken, by Wall Street. &#8220;The fact is that Wall Street has always been &#8211; and remains &#8211; very much a Boys Club.&#8220;, the article said. Which brings us to Family Dollar Stores, Inc. (NYSE: FDO). The stock price has increased 25% since the beginning of the year, and was up 11% in March alone. At first we were confused about the reason for the run up in the stock price. Certainly economic conditions are playing a role, but then ]]></description>

While we hate to admit it, this is a great example of just what can happen when investors fail to believe their own research. Several years ago, we were asked if we knew of a company that actually owned water rights. Admittedly we had never heard of such a thing, but were intrigued with the idea. In the end, we never found a company that actually owned water rights, but we did come across Layne Chistensen. Curious, we ran some numbers, read a few SEC filings, and decided we would wait, since the stock seemed just a bit to expensive. We actually waited right through the recent market bottom ]]></description>

We knew it wasn&#8217;t going to be this simple, and we were right. We also found LTE, which we learned stands for Long Term Evolution. LTE appears to us to be the main competitor to WiMAX and is being introduced by the wireless division of Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) in the United States market in 2010. The main difference between WiMAX and LTE appears to be speed, with LTE providing faster data speeds at lower cost than WiMax. However we found several wireless analysts that agree that the first devices capable of accessing LTE networks will be laptop computers equipped with small modems, known as dongles, and that LTE ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of days ago, Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK) came up during a discussion with some friends of ours. Our thoughts were directed around the company as a long-term investment and were based on various articles we had read on the web, while their comments were based on their knowledge of the gas industry. Since they are gas traders, having spent several years on the floor of the NYMEX, we of course yielded to their expertise. So overnight last night, we received an e-mail from them that was a follow-up to our prior conversation, and knowing less about gas trading than a hog knows about the hereafter, we simply don&#8217;t have the faintest idea what most of what was said in the e-mail actually means. Okay, so we understand ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, we are simple blue collar investors that for the most part, still have our own teeth, and in some cases, almost all of our own hair. We haven&#8217;t really wanted to be anything other than what we are, average folks just trying to save a few dollars for the day we may need a cane. Since we are fairly simple minded investors, we have a fairly simple investment philosophy; determine a reasonable value estimate for a stock, buy the stock at a discount to our reasonable value estimate, sell some of the stock along the way, and close our position when the stock reaches our reasonable value estimate. There are a great many investment philosophies floating around the internet, some that are simple and some that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We came across this company quite by accident several days ago at a blog site. Normally we would pass on companies in the financial industry since we simply don&#8217;t trust their management, believing them for the most part to be liars, cheats, and thieves. At least that&#8217;s our opinion of them given the events of the past year or so. Still, we found ourselves more than a bit intrigued once we came to the conclusion that this company was, in the simplest of terms, just a middleman for the electronic transfer of payments between different types of businesses, meaning they get paid first from by the merchant for receiving the transaction, and then again by the financial institution for sending the transaction. This sounded like a pretty sweet deal to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We noticed an article last week about Xenoport, Inc. (Nasdaq: XNPT) , a company in the Biotechnology Industry. As is typical for us, we simply are not interested in biotechnology companies since they almost never have earnings, and are normally majority owned by large pharmaceutical firms. The article we read said that Xenoport had submitted an application to the FDA for approval of a new drug that helps with restless leg syndrome. As we learned it was GSK (GlaxoSmithKline), one of Xenoport&#8217;s collaborators, that submitted the new drug application. What pushed us to look into the company was that we know folks that have restless leg syndrome, and they treat it by putting a bar of Palmolive soap near their feet at bedtime. Problem solved. So assuming the worst that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We read an article on the web a few days ago asking if Mattel, Inc. (NYSE: MAT) was a good buy at $20. Admittedly, the Toys and Games industry isn&#8217;t one we pay much attention to. Not for any particular reason, we just don&#8217;t seem to have much investment interest in the industry. Certainly we have heard of Mattel, and because we had, we assumed that the $20 price tag stated in the article was inaccurate just based on the brands we were aware the company owned. But once the toys were out of the box, we realized it was going to take some time to clean up the mess.

		<description><![CDATA[The best value investors, all seem to say same thing, buy what you know. To us, that means spend time researching companies with recognizable brands. Companies such as Ticketmaster, Inc. (Nasdaq: TKTM), HSN, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSNI), and Tree.Com. Inc. (Nasdaq: TREE) are all companies spun off by IAC/InterActiveCorp (Nasdaq: IACI). Not really doing it for you yet? We certainly understand. It took us a minute to make the connection, but once we did, we realized that much of what is done on-line is thanx to IAC. The company is an internet company with more than 50 highly-related brands serving seeming loyal consumer audiences. What we were curious about was how loyal company management might be to the company&#8217;s shareholders. Basis Financial information contained in this report, is based on the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We had several e-mails over the recent holidays asking what we did with research for companies we had decided not to pursue and would we consider sharing that research with others. Unlike most folks, we do not use stock screens. We see something on the web, or read something in a periodical, or are asked about a particular industry sector and we take a look. Regardless of how we come up with the name of a company, all of our research begins with a Raw Value worksheet. From there, a determination is made if additional research is warranted at that time. If it is, we continue with our research, often going back 10 years of more, in an effort to determine reasonable financial averages. If it isn&#8217;t the related worksheets ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The technical term is IEEE mobile Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access 802.16e-2005. The term we found during our research was WiMAX. We knew it wasn&#8217;t going to be this simple, and we were right. We also found LTE, which we learned stands for Long Term Evolution. LTE appears to us to be the main competitor to WiMAX and is being introduced by the wireless division of Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) in the United States market in 2010. The main difference between WiMAX and LTE appears to be speed, with LTE providing faster data speeds at lower cost than WiMax. However we found several wireless analysts that agree that the first devices capable of accessing LTE networks will be laptop computers equipped with small modems, known as dongles, and that LTE ]]></description>
