My Style of Investing

My stock investing style is a mixture of the long-term investment style of Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham with a hint of the "ring the register" investment style of Jim Cramer.

MID-LONG TERM INVESTMENTS

COP:  Conoco Phillips was a long-term play when I bought it in 2008, so if you are familiar with recent stock market events you know that I currently have an unrealized loss on my investment.  I like the financials and the company's efforts to change up their core business activities.  Conoco Phillips was even able to raise their dividend after 2008.

Company site:  http://www.conocophillips.com/EN/Pages/index.aspx

My rating:  BUY (lower than usual multiples, increasing dividend, business activity adjustments)

TTM P/E:  12.7
TTM P/B:  1.2
TTM P/S:  .5
Current Dividend Yield:  3.9%


JNJ:  Johnson & Johnson has not done as bad as COP since I bought it in 2008, but there are a lot of other major drug manufacturers that have just the same or better multiples and financials as JNJ, such as Abbott Laboratories and Novartis.  JNJ has a great dividend and always maintains high ROE, ROA, and ROIC.

Company site:  http://www.jnj.com/connect/

My rating:  BUY (if not JNJ, at least Abbott Laboratories or Novartis)

TTM P/E:  12.0
TTM P/B:  3.0
TTM P/S:  2.5
Current Dividend Yield:  3.5%


GE:  General Electric is a diversified company that has been in operation for a very long time.  GE always seems to have a ton of free cash flow for investment activities and dividends and buybacks.  I personally believe that GE will try to build their dividend back up to where it was before the 2008 recession.  On that note, GE increased their next quarterly dividend by 20% from .10 to .12 per share.

My Rating:  BUY (sitting on cash, dividend history that is sure to return, diversified, profitable company for decades, high book value per share)

TTM P/E:  14.9
TTM P/B:  1.4
TTM P/S:  1.0
Current Dividend Yield:  2.6%

EXC, QCOM, and DAGVX will be covered in the next post.
