Spread the profits in the Fall with the sweet tasting stock of J. M. Smucker Co. Here is a flyer that you may want to consider. This $7.1 billion dollar company is a giant in it's space. No one does it like Smucker's ( SJM ), yes the peanut butter and jelly and more company.The stock has a very low price to earnings ratio of 14.48 , which suggest that there is lots of room for price appreciation, if management makes the right moves in the coming months. In addition, the stock has a low volatility beta ranking of (.7), and pays a good dividend of 2.68%. Not bad when 1 year Cd's are yielding less than 1.37%. Although the stock is trading toward the high range of $59 to $60 dollars, it still represents a possible growth or acquisition play for the patient investor. Pick up at these prices and spread the profits in the Fall, like 'spreading peanut butter and jelly on toast' , by adding this stock to your portfolio.

The tax season is over. Hooray! I should be getting back to my normal posting routine shortly. I'm excited. I have some exciting new market stuff to post over the coming months, so stay tuned. By Rick Walter

Do you know that many listed stocks, and even worse for unlisted investments, do not perform well over the short-term or long term. It's incredible how much garbage is out there and is being hyped and sold by investment professionals. I have at least 200 positions that I follow and track on a regular basis and many of those positions just do not live up to their potential. It's an investment minefield out there. A common, but effective investment strategy is the "buy and hold strategy", but the recession that began in 2007, basically blew that theory out of the water. As a matter of fact, a "buy-and-hold strategy" may be dangerous in this market right now. However, here is an article in the Wall Street Journal on a star trader, working for a popular mutual fund , who has been really successful at not trading and basically buying and holding. I thought the article was interesting, but I do not think the article is entirely true. This trader may not trade as

Our ETF of the day is the SPDR S&P China ETF Fund , (NYSE Arca: GXC ) This ETF trades on the New York Stock Exchange and is currently trading at $67.62. The Pacific/Asia (excluding Japan) market may still hold promise as a great place to invest, while the US markets continue to recover. This exchange-traded fund excludes investments in Japan which I believe gives the fund a slight performance advantage. The fund's total return since inception is  9.27% , and it's one year market return, as of 1/31/2010 is  66.43% . The fund is a little pricey, but I think it's worth a look and a possible investment.

I still haven't posted anything substantial this month. I am still trying to get a feel for where the market is heading. Of course, I've been monitoring and reviewing all of the economic data being released by our government on the economy such as Jobless Claims , Consumer Price Index , Housing Starts and so forth, but I still do not have that strong urgency to buy. It could be that I've become more like the herd, only moving when the herd is moving. But everyone knows that you don't make a lot of money having a herd-like mentality. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal about the liquidity of Exchange-traded funds got me a little excited, but that excitement quickly died after reading the article " Risks Lurks for ETF Investors ", which was in a nutshell, nothing more than a warning against the purchasing of over-priced Exchanged-traded funds. I guess nothing is wrong with being reminded. My asset allocation models currently stands at 30% to 40% cash on

I am a huge football fan. I just love football. When football season is over, I become sort of depressed until the season starts in the summer. I really felt that the Vikings were going to the Superbowl. I was so freaked-out when Brett Favre threw that interception with 19 seconds left in the game. I was like WTH! I still can't believe it.
