Although I asked for some blog entries about other issues than stocks I am still having one question about the stocks :-))<br>I just went through your Shopping-List again. The one stock that I am interested in is Home Depot. But just at this moment they are going done another (3.76%, 23.8). Have you changed your opinion on that stock or do you still think its a good buy? Or would you still go for the more defensive stocks as you mentioned such as J&J or Altria? What would you do If you could risk some money right know? Home-Depot or Altria? I must admit I do not know the US market that good since I am from Europe. But since the US-Dollar is quite low at the moment I would like to buy some US stocks.<br>Thanks for your answer!jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-23225170374964899382008-01-09T02:57:02.000-08:002008-01-09T02:57:02.000-08:00Hi TerrenceI have been reading your blog since the...Hi Terrence<br>I have been reading your blog since the very first few days and I am still enjoying it. I was just wondering whether your plan now is to manly trade stocks with your money or whether you are going to come up with some other more unusual and unexpected ways to earn money. So I hope you can find some ways (I know its hard) other than trading. This stuff would be even more exiting and fun to read because there are already so many sites out there training to spot the best stocks :-) But until then, keep up the good work!jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-30125822141982030832008-01-09T10:12:16.000-08:002008-01-09T10:12:16.000-08:00Right now, I still avoid HD.

I really did mean to explore some other options. In fact my friend Rick also keeps bugging me to do more things for this site. My big problem is the new job. It takes up a lot of my time, so I haven't really been able to sit down and explore any other opportunities. <br><br>I do promise to do something else soon. I'm getting the hang of my new job, and hopefully things will slow down there.terrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-31317215993151454402008-01-09T13:15:25.000-08:002008-01-09T13:15:25.000-08:00I agree with you that JNJ is a good long term stoc...I agree with you that JNJ is a good long term stock. I only hesitate to dabble in Altria myself because of the slight unsettling feeling I might feel benefiting from smokers. I know that people make their own choices. Yet I wonder could I say to myself that I am completely uninvolved when I know my money will go towards marketing cigarettes? I can avoid answering this question by not buying that stock.Stephennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-73137914443664130592008-01-09T15:20:22.000-08:002008-01-09T15:20:22.000-08:00I echo Stephen - having a problem with cigarettes,...I echo Stephen - having a problem with cigarettes, I just don't know if my own personal morals would allow me to invest in it.JennySmithhttp://jennysmith.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875001767678246171.post-25879554037721688362008-01-09T23:56:41.000-08:002008-01-09T23:56:41.000-08:00[...] was going to respond to the comment that Ste...[...] was going to respond to the comment that Stephen left in my post about smoking being good for you but decided that a full post would be better served.

They are the largest shareholder and own a little under 9% of the cheese maker. I like this pick up because I too own Kraft. In fact it is one of the few stocks I do own. I have kept most of attention in the consumer staple area as I have believed for a long time that we were heading into a recession, and consumer staples will do well in this environment. In addition, I thought that a lot of value would be unlocked as soon as it split up from Altria.
