Why Warren Buffett Is Buying GM Now 20-05-2012 14:25 By Mel Daris:General Motors (GM) is roaring back from its recent bankruptcy. In SEC filings, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) disclosed that it owns 10 million shares of General Motors. I think chances of GM stock going up are clearly better given that the "Oracle of Omaha" recently purchased 10 million shares.

Due to the government bail-outs and subsidies, GM is able to position them well and I expect consumers will buy them. Finally, GM has little exposure to Europe, compared to... Read more... |
Why Nokia Could Triple By 2015 20-05-2012 13:43 By Stock Croc:Once upon a time, Nokia (NOK) was the world's leading manufacturer of mobile phones, with a 41% share of the market. Following the rise of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and its own slow reaction to the shift in the consumer device landscape, it has since fallen on challenging times. Today, Nokia is second behind Samsung (SSNLF.PK) in Mobile Phone sales with a market share of 19.1% -- less than half its peak market share. To stem the tide of its losses, Nokia brought in a former Microsoft executive, Stephen Elop, who promptly revised Nokia's smartphone strategy by paving the... Read more... |

The Final Nails In The Dot-Com Coffin: Facebook And Apple 20-05-2012 12:02 By Stanley Barton:The beauty of being a long-term, value investor is that you get vindication every 20 years or so. Unfortunately, that is small compensation for all those luncheons with colleagues bragging about their stock picks doubling, when the best thing you have to celebrate is a ten-cent dividend bump. There are also uncomfortable situations, such as stepping into the batter's box at the company softball game, as hecklers taunt you with nicknames like "Dead Money."For better or worse, my value-oriented investment style generally prevents me from participating in "bubbles." Early in that phase, frothy stocks are disqualified by my... Read more... |

Billionaire T. Boone Pickens' Q1 Stock Picks 20-05-2012 00:45 By Insider Monkey: By Guan Wang
We are favorable about the energy sector. We think energy stocks are undervalued as a sector and investors can benefit in the long term by purchasing energy stocks at cheap prices right now.
