10 Cheap Stocks Under $10
Written By: Michelle Haimoff

I collaborated with David Neubert to come up with a list of the best stocks under $10, but the first thing he said was, “Most stocks under $10 are ones that have problems.” All of the stocks on his list are speculative. “Just buying stocks with low prices is not a very smart strategy. There is no disadvantage to buying one share of Google for $520 as opposed to 100 shares of stock with a price of $5.20.” It turns out most online brokers charge the same commission regardless of number of shares.

A Protest Against Chevron Paying Royalties to Burmese Government: What Should A Shareholder Do?

Tuesday, October 9th was designated (I still can't figure out exactly by whom) a day of protest against Chevron (CVX - $92.30) and its paying of royalties to the regime in Burma (Myanmar).

Information about the protest and how you can participate be found at this Chevron Protest Blogspot posting.

Amy Goodman explains why she thinks the protest is necessary and how it might help at her Truthdig blog. While I agree with her sentiment, I think I've found a better way to remain engaged.

Chevron defends their involvment in Myranmar (Burma) and deliniates some of what they are doing to support NGO's trying to help the situation. They also state their support for the people of Burma clearly, "Chevron supports the calls for a peaceful resolution to the current situation in Myanmar in a way that respects the human rights of the people of Myanmar." I'd like to help them follow through on that support.

So what am I going to do?

Why, you ask? Arson, suicide, record attendance, luxury?

A Visit to the Intel Options Cocktail from March
Written By: David Neubert

Based on a reader comment from Alex, I decided to update my Intel cocktail from March.

"Question: INTC stands today at 24.68. Are you still in these positions, as declared on 3/21/07? The stock is up 30% from your 17.41 "cocktail cost"...what're the results of your investment, now that the underlying security has surpassed the 22.50 calls? "

Here's the mark to market:

Stock: $24.93 - $18.99 = $5.94 profit
$12.50 puts: $0.02 - $0.13 = $0.11 loss ($0.22 for 2x)
$17.50 puts: $0.14 - $0.95 = $0.81 profit
$22.50 calls:$3.65 - $0.80 = $2.85 loss
Dividends collected $0.1125

$5.94 - 0.22 + 0.81 - 2.85 + 0.1125 = $3.79
Had I just bought the stock, I'd have a higher profit ($5.94) but a bigger downside. I'm sticking with this position for now. I'll stick with it to get to my max profit profile. Though I never see anything wrong with exiting a position early, as the downside becomes much larger than the upside (this is often the case with deep in the money options positions).

Disclosure: I am still in the options position described. I also have a little bit of an overage in terms of stock position on which I outright long. I recently sold a small about of INTC (not part of this position).

Added to Position in AIG
Written By: David Neubert

I paid $68.27 to add my position in (AIG $68.64) today. The P/E is under 12. The company is growing nicely with many business lines and is still being punished for insurance scandals past. There is pretty big open interest in the $70 strike options for expiration next week, which should act as a kind of anchor. Until then, I've left myself room to buy a bit more if it falls further.

I bought back a small short position in July 70 strike puts today as well.
