Nike may go up, but in other countries!

Nike will go up in other countries with the new release of famous soccer player, Ronaldinho's new 10R line. Nike will profit heavily from this. But don't take my word for it, look at the shoe its self: http://nikefootball.nike.com/nikefootball/siteshell/index.jsp#,us,0;blog,ronaldinho,
Nike has no other choice really, but to profit from it. So take a look at Nike, it might go up a little in the States, but outside the US, this shoe will do really well.

3 stocks that have got to go up!











Well, for all my readers out there, I'd like to tell you about the next three biggest stocks. The stocks I am about to tell will do great during the holidays, but after that, things might go a bit haywire, with the exception of one. The first stock pick is UPS. Yes, I am choosing the United Parcel Service as one of my picks. Many people are ordering things and most of those packages are going through UPS. My next pick is probably one of the most successful IPOs of all-time, which can only mean MasterCard. You can count on MasterCard to do well any time of the year, but especially during the holidays, when many people need to use their credit cards. I think that MasterCard can go up to $150 in 6 months, and $200 in one to two years. MasterCard is the next Google, in terms of its stock success. And my last pick, a major company you probably shop from,the one that should go up way past the holidays, is a company that will go public on Wednesday, November 29,2006. Coffee Bean? No. Baja Fresh? Subway? No. Well, you probably give up but its actually Jamba Juice. Its ticker symbol will be JMBA. This stock is the next big thing to hit the mrket. It probably won't be as successful as MasterCard, but it will do well, and that's all I can say for now.

Holiday Quick Picks

Holiday Stock Picks (airlines only) !

Now is the time to decide what stocks to buy for the holidays. I think that airline, beverage, electronic, and food companies will do well. I also think that stocks like Wal-Mart, Target, and Federated Department Stores, will do well. But in this post, we're going to talk about the airline companies a bit. As we know, many people need to travel during the holidays. So now we figure out who would do the best. I think that a few good players are:

LAN Airlines S.A. - for more info look at http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=LFL
Continental Airlines- for more info look at http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=CAL

Now, let's talk about each pick. According to Yahoo! Finance, "Lan Airlines S.A. provides passenger air transportation services in Latin America, and air cargo transportation services in Chile, Brazil, and Mexico." Many factories are in Mexico, and the fact that Lan Airlines provides cargo transportation services is a huge plus. But I also think that there are going to be many people traveling to Latin America this holiday season. So this stock is good at two times of the year, during the holdiay season and during the summer. The next stock pick is Continental Airlines. Frantically, I think that this company will flourish during this holiday season. Being a "continental" airline helps during this time. That is exactly why I definetly think that this stock is going to perform great.

Birthday Celebration tomorrow!




Yes, I am celebrating my birthday tomorrow, November 5, 2006. I will be turning 11 years old. My actual birthday is on November 8, but I am celebrating my party on Nov. 5. But let's talk stocks. My stock picks have gone up enormously and would have made you truck loads of profilts. Let's look at Apple Computer (AAPL) . I bought it myself at about $57. It went all the way to $50, and everything since then is history. It actually went over my target of $80, and I still think that it can go higher. I think that it can go $90-$100. Even Jim Cramer believes in this one, and I think that it is a definite buy oppurtunity. Another one of my picks that you would have heavily profited from was Starbucks (SBUX). Although it has gone down a little bit off of news that a few laptops holding workers' data has been stolen, if you had bought the stock at $30 like I had instructed, you would have made at least $6 a share if you are still holding it, and about $9 a share if you had sold it when it hit $39. Next, was Panera Bread Co. (PNRA).
This one is a real killer. It went from $48, which is where and when I told you to buy it, and is currently at $59 but has gone past $60. The last stock pick I'd like to tal about is Time Warner (TWX). I said that you should buy it at $15.50-$16 and right now it has not only made its 52 week high, but 4 year high of $20.08. What an achievement by Time Warner. These are all big names that you should know, and if you didn't buy them, you really made a mistake.
