Hey Chuck, how about passengers quit trying to carry everything including the kitchen sink, when they travel. Dleta should keep their money, and give pay raises to their employees, and fully fund the pension plans, then if something is left over, pay a dividend.

I am a firm believer in getting something back on my stock investment. Way too many top companies are stingy in returning profits to shareholders. I invest in companies that reward shareholders with dividends. I would rather receive dividends than a company buying back shares, and then watch them issue more shares in t...more

It's all a crapshoot. And I always heard April was bad on stocks, Hmmm....  Own some good quality 4% or up dividend paying stocks, and hang onto those. Play the market game with stocks you are willing to sell on a drop, after making some nice gains. After a nice drop, and I mean 10-20%, buy back in.     Wash, rinse, ...more

Panera, way overpriced for what you get. Good concept, but in this economy, or any economy, I think their sales will fall.  Bring the prices down. I boycotted them for overpriced food, and not enough.

so true KOO....these so called financial gurus, don't have a clue, and just keep spitting out crap to have a job.  this market is out of touch anyway, and it will probably go down, and a lot more than today.  MSN money writers here are pump and dumpers for their own cause.

I am waiting for the market setback before adding Intel. I believe this stock can fall further in the $19 range or perhaps further. INTC needs to do some more r & d.  I think the author here is too hype on the stock. Perhaps he is getting paid on the side for his views. INTC may not be raising the divvy anytime soon, s...more
