Bad Medicine!

Ockham Research Staff @ September 29, 2008 # No Comment Yet


The financial press is beating its “depression” drums just a bit harder this afternoon in the wake of Congress’ surprise rejection of its bailout legislation and the market’s strong drop. However, we remain skeptical that this behemoth bill would indeed be the market’s short term salvation. Market forces, patience and a committment to legitimate capitalist principals, not more government interference, will probably do more to turn around a bad situation.

RIMM Takes it on the Chin

Ockham Research Staff @ September 26, 2008 # One Comment


Research in Motion has had one heck of a day, dropping more than 27% after a disappointing earnings release. We are starting to like the posibilities that are represented by this growth story that all of a sudden is attractively priced.

SunTrust Downgraded on Price Run-Up

Ockham Research Staff @ September 25, 2008 # No Comment Yet


SunTrust looks a little bit expensive based on the Ockham methodology, and we are expecting a little bit of a pull back on slipping earnings. Even though STI pays a great dividend that looks relatively safe, now is not the right time to invest as the credit crisis may soon expand from Wall St. to Main St.

Ockham Research Staff @ September 24, 2008 # 2 Comments


Warren Buffett has thrown his chips in and he is betting on the Goldman Sachs to reemerge as a leader in the financial sector. With assistance from the government’s rescue plan, Buffett hopes that Goldman’s proven management can once again restore the confidence that is so lacking in financials right now.

DJIA’s Newest Member is Comfort Food for Investors

Ockham Research Staff @ September 23, 2008 # One Comment


Okham Research views Kraft Food (KFT) shares as fully valued at present. However, this newest member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) represents a defensive component of the economy (Consumer Goods), has broad international exposure, pays a 3.3% dividend and has a market cap close to $50 billion. As such, income-oriented investors looking for a safe harbor in this rocky market might consider Kraft Foods shares for their portfolio.

Ockham Research Staff @ September 22, 2008 # 2 Comments


in this article we are highlighting a great mid-cap company in the Healthcare IT market. QSII has grown by leaps and bounds as the electrionic medical records (EMR) market has expanded greatly. The trend shows little signs of slowing and this stock may represent a good buy even though it is up more than 35% in the last 6 weeks.
