		<description><![CDATA[The market continues to show strength, as most of the news out there is positive. br /br /RHIE dropped again today as it still hasn't found a bottom.  It will be interesting to see if Seth Klarman picks up any shares at these levels, as he has in the past.  As usual when this happens with a stock, you get people on message boards and blogs saying they are done for.  They are most likely short the stock and aren't willing to have a conversation about it.  There are always risks and its important never to risk more than you can afford to lose, especially with a stock that is this volatile.  That's about all I have to say about that.  I had reasons for buying it, and I still see value there.  It may take time for that value to be realized.  If it was easy, everyone would do it. br /br /I continue to see more confidence out there, and as much as I feel stocks should pullback, it may  just as easily not happen for awhile.  There are still pockets of value out there.  I don't like many large caps at this point, as most are overvalued when looking at the whole situation. br /br /As always, I'll report any transactions and/or ideas that come up and I welcome your ideas as well. br /br /Thanks for reading.br /br /Disclosure: Long RHIEdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-4671540360048839209?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RHI Entertainment (a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=RHIE"RHIE/a) is a small cap name I've spoken about for a good portion of 2009. a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/RHI-Entertainment-Announces-bw-531831091.html?x=0amp;.v=1"They reported a bad quarter /atoday, and the stock is off 60%! I took a small position at 1.16 for a couple of reasons:br /br /-Yes the quarter was bad, but keep in mind this is a company whose earnings are tied to the releases they put out (many more coming in next quarter than previous), and their library. Seasonality is a big factor here. I'm not saying this quarter will be outstanding, but it will likely be better. I may not even own the stock by the next earnings release.br /br /-They do have way too much debt for a company this size and are burning through their cash at this point. My bet isn't on the long-term viability and ability to grow earnings, which still remain to be seen. My bet is more on an overreaction by the market, and the possibility to make some money on the return to "normalcy" so-to-speak. Seth Klarman still owns a large stake here (I believe) and he bought when this same thing happened in the spring. Its an opportunity to buy at less than 50% of book value.br /br /This isn't necessarily my style for buying stock, but in some ways it is. Just looking for value out there. Again, its a small position and I'll be watching it closely.  Might not be the best one to follow unless you're watching it closely.  If it continues to go south, I'll likely dump it quickly.br /br /Disclosure: Long RHIEdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-6391350914637080689?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Loews (L) continues to provide value to its shareholders, while the market continues to undervalue its shares.  I'm not going to break down each of its companies, but rather look at the bigger picture and the comments from their management. br /br /Here are some statements by CEO Jim Tisch (one of the best around, I may add).br /br /-Loews reported a solid quarter reflecting improved results in CNA, continued strong results in Diamond Offshore, and higher investment income in the holding company portfolio. During the third quarter Loews' book value per common share increased by over 14%, primarily as a result of the $1.7 billion increase in the mark-to-market value of CNA's investment portfolio. What a difference a quarter makes.br /br /-At the end of the third quarter, CNA's book value per share stood at $35.38 compared to $20.92 at year end '08. This improvement was primarily the result of narrowing credit spreads in the fixed income market. While we are quite pleased to see the improvement in CNA's balance sheet, the volatility of fixed income security prices over the past year underscores how one could be potentially mislead by mark-to-market accounting, especially with the respect to unrealized losses at property and casualty insurance companies.br /br /-And with that I'll get off my accounting soapbox and get back to our results. Diamond Offshore reported another quarter of excellent results. The big story for the quarter was Diamond's purchase of the Ocean Valor, a newly constructed dynamically positioned drilling rig that is capable of operating in 7,500 feet of water.br /br /-Diamond was able to acquire the rig at auction for approximately $490 million, well below the recent cost to construct a similar new build rig. The rig is being actively marketed for work commencing in early 2010, which by our calculation is a lot better than waiting three years for the completion of a new build rig. This acquisition is consistent with Diamond's successful strategy of buying attractive assets at a time when purchases are possible at favorable pricing.br /To replenish available cash after the rig acquisition, Diamond used its strong balance sheet to go to the debt markets and was able to issue $500 million of long-term debt due in 30 years at the very attractive rate of 5.75%. Diamond's board of directors recently declared special and regular – regular and quarterly dividends which together total $2 per share and market continuation of Diamond's policy of paying out special cash dividends reflecting the earnings and financial position of the company.br /br /About acquisitions:br /br /-We are always looking. The issue right now though I believe is exactly what's going to happen in the economy. My guess is that the economy is going to be very sluggish for a long time, maybe on the order of, if we're lucky, 1% to 2% growth. And I don't see this as a typical recession and I don't see this as a period where we're going to have 4% to 6% growth for the next year or so. I think it'll be very sluggish and I think that additional taxes and mandates will just be additional headwinds for the economy.  I say all that as preamble because if we were to buy anything, I would not want to pay up in price anticipating that the economy and, therefore, business in the business cycle will resume. So like it said on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, jittery companies stash cash. You can count Loews Corporation as one of those companies.br /br /And as what is usually the case, Tisch comments about the stock being undervalued:br /br /-Well, there are two things you can do. You can complain about the prices of stock and the value of the stock, or you can do something about it. And there are multiple ways to do something about it. One is, I guess as you suggest, is to cast some holdings overboard. We're not looking to do that. The other way to deal with that is to buy in shares and in the past four months the company's brought in 4.5 million shares.br /br /-As I like to say about our share repurchase history, we have a long and glorious history of share repurchases, buying in shares when the stock trades at a discount. Just to get on my soapbox again and provide an advertisement, Loews' stock has appreciated. Loews shareholders for the past 50 years have had a 16% rate of return on their shares compared to 9% for the Samp;P 500. So that if you have $1 50 years ago and you invested in the Samp;P 500, it would be worth about $75 now.br /br /-On the other hand, that dollar if you would have invested in Loews at 16% would be worth $1,600 or $1,700. So the appreciation of Loews has been quite extraordinary. And one reason for that has been that we have aggressively bought in the shares. In 1970 we had the equivalent of 1.3 billion shares outstanding. Today it's below 430 million.br /br /-For the life of me, I do not understand why the market values Loews so cheaply, but having said that I'm not complaining about it. Instead we're buying in the share and we're using that as an opportunity to create long-term value for all Loews shareholders. Beyond buying in the shares and doing what we're doing, I don't know what else we can do to close that valuation gap. It is a great frustration to me, but also I see it as a great opportunity.br /br /So to summarize things, Loews remains on the same path.  Conservative about the economy and its balance sheet.  They'll look for acquisitions if they make sense.  Their stock remains undervalued, and they'll continue to buyback shares if it continues.  This is the kind of stock you can just buy and sit on.  I plan to do some of that, but have just been a bit picky about where I buy.  On a side note, that's a common approach for me.  I'm usually pretty good at finding opportunities, and you're welcome to buy when I do, or be a bit more aggressive, which may pay off for you.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-7779776018190854008?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tii Network Technologies (TIII) is one of those small caps I've been saying is attractive.  I a href="http://briskycapital.blogspot.com/2009/10/late-friday-buy.html"picked up a small amount of shares /aback in the middle of October.  You can read my initial reason for buying through that link.  a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Tii-Network-Technologies-prnews-593431932.html?x=0amp;.v=1"Here's the release/a:br /br /blockquotestrongNet sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were$7,460,000 compared to $8,521,000 in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $1,061,000 or 12.5%/strong. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $19,703,000 compared to $27,248,000 in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $7,545,000 or 27.7%. The decrease in the 2009 periods was primarily due to the economic downturn, which has negatively impacted sales of our connectivity and network interface device products, and the loss of landlines by the service providers which has negatively impacted sales of our network interface device products. Additionally, in the three months ended September 30, 2009, the decrease in sales was partially offset by an increase in sales of our broadband products into the growing broadband market and to new customers.br /br /Kenneth A. Paladino, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "strongThe sequential increase in sales for the quarter was due to the improving economy's positive impact on our markets and sales to new customers from recent market share gains/strong. Though total sales for the quarter were lower than the comparable prior year period, we are very pleased that sales of our more advanced broadband products were higher by almost 25%.br /br /The decrease in gross profit margin for the quarter was to due to freightbr /and expediting costs incurred to satisfy an increase in demand for certain products with contracted delivery requirements where inventory levels for these products had been reduced due to the economic downturn. Increased production levels of these products have enabled us to significantly reduce expediting costs and as a result we expect to return to historical gross profit margin levels in the fourth quarter.br /br /We continue to manage our other operating expenses and balance sheetbr /closely. strongOur operating expenses are down 22% or $1.9 million for thebr /first nine months. Cash is now $12.3 million, up $4.0 million for the same period.br /br //strongThough our sales have not yet recovered to prior year levels, we arebr /confident that we are executing the right strategy and with the improved economic outlook, we expect that our profitability will also continue to improve."br //blockquotebr /br /I highlighted a couple of key points.  The key with these small cap names is value.  This company is now sitting on $12.3 million on cash with a $16.9 million market cap.  In a normal market, companies like these might not be so undervalued.  So this becomes more of a buy and hold until the market realizes some of its value more so than a bet on the company increasing earnings.br /br /Disclosure: Long TIIIdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-170127629180100672?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you follow financial news, or any news for that matter, you know what happened this morning.  Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Berkshire-buying-Burlington-apf-3016566039.html?x=0amp;.v=18"agreed to buy Burlington Northern/a.  He already had a large stake (I believe around 20%), but this is a massive bet on the US economy.  It really is classic Buffett.  If you've read my blog at all, you know I'm bullish on railroads, and have felt BNI is the best out there.  I don't own any shares, so I missed out on this one.  Buffett isn't stealing it, but it will likely look like a good purchase five years from now. br /br /In other news, a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Berkshire-Hathaway-OKs-50for1-apf-323762915.html?x=0amp;.v=5"Berkshire agreed to split /atheir "B" shares 50 to 1, which is a big departure for them. br /br /Buffett is clearly trying to make a statement here, and likely wanted another "signature purchase" (like Coca Cola, GEICO, or many others) to add to his legacy.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-7158786269289451742?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my opinion, the market action seems to have a downward bias to it now.  In the past few months, anytime negative news would come out, the market would dip, only to see bulls push through and move the market higher.  Right now, it feels like the opposite.  Earnings haven't been making big headlines and economic data is carrying more weight, as is the apprehension of investors and fear that stocks are overextended. br /br /Small caps are getting hit hard.  They are the most volatile and have moved the a lot to the upside during this rally, so their sell off comes as little surprise.  I have a few names on my radar that I may pick at if prices continue to improve.  I know I've been saying that for sometime, but I'm a very patient investor.br /br /I do think that things are improving and many stocks could become attractive if prices fall further.  I think the economy is slowly recovering, but just not to the level that stocks priced in.  So if we see another over-reaction to the downside, I'd view that as an excellent opportunity to buy some stocks.  In March, when we hit the lows, there were still a fair amount of major risks out there.  Some of those have subsided, and some have been forgotten about.  Either way, conditions are likely better than in March.  So, like I said, if stocks become more attractive price wise, I think I'll be a buyer of some pretty span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"substantial/span amounts.br /br /Lets see what this week brings.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-1459074560564793674?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I always keep track of the railroad earnings as I still think they are a pretty good primer for the rest of the economy.  I know there are others, but this is just one that I follow.  So, Union Pacific reported this morning.  More of the same...Revenues still down double digits, profits helped by cost cutting (a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Weak-economy-sends-UPs-3Q-apf-1278070157.html?x=0amp;.v=6"release/a).  I've highlighted a couple key areas. br /br /blockquoteUnion Pacific Corp. said Thursday its third-quarter profit fell 26 percentbr /as shipping demand remained weak and the overall economy stabilized.br /br /The nation's largest railroad couldn't offset lower shipping volumes,br /though it benefited from significantly lower fuel costs, improved productivitybr /and other cost-cutting measures. Union Pacific operates 32,400 miles of track inbr /23 states from the Midwest to the West and Gulf coasts.br /br /The Omaha company said Thursday it earned $517 million, or $1.02 per share,br /down from $703 million, or $1.38 per share, last year. Analysts surveyed bybr /Thomson Reuters, on average, expected a profit of $1 per share.br /br /strongRevenue fell 24 percent, to $3.67 billion.br //strongbr /"Business volumes seem to have stabilized, but at strongvery lowbr /levels/strong for Union Pacific," said Jim Young, the company's chairman andbr /CEO.br /br /Union Pacific's strongfuel costs plummeted 59 percent/strong, to $466br /million, as the average price per gallon of diesel dropped to $1.87 from lastbr /year's $3.70 and the railroad burned 19 percent less fuel.br /br /Union Pacific's compensation costs and strongheadcount fell 11br /percent/strong.br /br /Union Pacific said it still had 4,100 employees furloughed, and it hasbr /50,000 railcars and 1,700 locomotives stored. All those figures are downbr /slightly from July, suggesting that Union Pacific has started preparing forbr /higher shipping volumes, but Young said the economy hasn't shown much sign ofbr /improvement.br /br /"In 2010, we strongdon't expect a quick rebound and have positionedbr /ourselves for a slow recovery/strong," he said.br /br /Union Pacific said its freight revenue again fell across all six of itsbr /main business segments, and the number of carloads it carried fell 15br /percent.br /br /The biggest drop in freight revenue came in the industrial-products sector,br /which fell 39 percent, to $557 million. Automotive revenue fell 30 percent, tobr /$227 million, even as the government's Cash for Clunkers program increasedbr /vehicle sales.br /br /Agricultural-shipping revenue fell 23 percent, intermodal revenue fell 22br /percent, energy revenue fell 21 percent and chemicals revenue fell 16br /percent.br //blockquotebr /Fuel costs obviously helped and play a big role for them.  They do however, see some increase in volume when fuel prices spike as they are sometimes an alternative to shipping via other method.  Still though, this is a "reality indicator" that can't be overlooked.  While the market roars to new highs, look at the numbers of industrial goods and raw materials.  They are showing no sign of recovery. br /br /I'm still quite concerned about employment numbers and what they mean for the economy looking out a few quarters.  We're still riding the oversold bounce and I'm not saying it won't continue.  Fund managers are chasing performance as they will find themselves out of a job if they don't catch this rally after last year's situation.  So while the dips will be bought, the question is when will the realities of the broad economy balance out with the market.  There's your million dollar question.  I wish I knew the answer. br /br /Disclosure: Nonediv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-6300279583506217744?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quick, name me a few companies that have grown revenue and net income year over year.  Having trouble? Me too.  Here's one.  Diamond Offshore Drilling.  I've written about them occasionally over the past few quarters.  They operate in a very profitable industry, and to me are about the best in that industry.  Here's a brief snippet from the a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Diamond-Offshore-3Q-profit-up-apf-905257113.html?x=0amp;.v=1"release/a:br /br /blockquoteContract driller Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. on Thursday said third-quarter earnings rose 17 percent as rising crude prices drove up demand from oil companies for more drilling services.  As the economy showed signs of recovery in the third quarter, crude oil prices stabilized, trading as high as $76 per barrel, well above a 2009 low of $46.73 per barrel in February.  Diamond Offshore's quarterly earnings climbed to $364.1 million, or $2.62 per share, from $310.5 million, or $2.23 per share, during the same period last year.  Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters estimated a profit of $2.30 per share, on average.  Revenue rose nearly one percent to $908.4 million, up from $900.4 million in the prior-year period. Analysts forecast revenue of $874.2 million.br //blockquotebr /They operate a pretty shareholder-friendly operation as well as earnings are returned to shareholders via a regular and special dividend.  This is one of those stocks you'd be alright owning a few years, which is more than I can say about a lot of stocks right now.  Loews also owns about 50% of DO, and buying their stock may be a cheaper way into DO if you like the rest of their businesses (which I'll leave for another day). br /br /Anyway, good stuff from DO.  I'd be a buyer of their stock anytime it pulls back (hint: just watch the price of crude).br /br /Disclosure: Nonebr /Besides higher sales, profit was aided by lower contract drilling costs, foreign currency gains and reduced taxes.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-2788983098192052058?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that I own some Pfizer stock (due to the acquisition of Wyeth), I feel obligated to at least post on Pfizer's earnings. (a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/pfizer-reports-26-higher-profit-but-lower-sales-2009-10-20"marketwatch/a) br /br /-The world's largest drug maker posted net income of $2.88 billion, or 43 cents a share, compared with $2.28 billion, or 34 cents a share, for the same quarter in 2008.br /br /-Excluding various items, Pfizer would have reported adjusted earnings of 51 cents a share, versus 62 cents. This year's quarter was also impacted by a higher tax rate, due largely to its merger with Wyeth.br /br /-Revenue in the period fell 3% to $11.62 billion, from $11.97 billion.br /br /-Pfizer was expected to report lower year-over-year sales, with the loss of patent protection for such former blockbusters as Norvasc and Zyrtec weighing heavily on its top line.br /br /-Still, Pfizer's sales results managed to top Wall Street's expectations. According to a recent poll of analysts by FactSet Research, Pfizer was pegged at posting earnings of 48 cents a share on revenue of $11.44 billion.br /br /-On Oct. 15, Pfizer finally closed its $68 billion merger with Wyeth, which was scheduled to release its earnings Thursday. Pfizer halved its once-coveted dividend several months ago to help finance the takeover.br /br /-Pfizer also updated its 2009 financial forecast to reflect the acquisition. The drug maker now sees revenue of $49 billion to $50 billion, up from its previous forecast of $45 billion to $46 billion. Earnings are seen between $1.45 and $1.50 a share, up from $1.30 to $1.45. Adjusted earnings should come in between $2.00 and $2.05 a share, up from $1.90 to $2.00.br /br /I'm still making up my mind about this stock.  As long as it continues to move higher, I'm not going to sell it.  I don't typically like companies that make massive acquisitions as I fell there is a lot of waste and its difficult to manage that many different operations and still grow.  But they have a pretty strong sales pipeline now as Wyeth was a great company (that's why I owned the stock).  But Pfizer did have to cut their dividend to finance this deal, which is one of the reasons to like Pfizer in the first place.  I haven't had time to do a ton of research on this yet, so like I said, I'm still up in the air on Pfizer. br /br /Disclosure: Long PFEdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-3751828478083401374?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Caterpillar reported quarterly results this morning. I like to keep an eye on companies like Cat due to their cyclical nature and I feel they can give us a tell on if the economy is improving. They beat estimates, which were laughable. Sales and profits are still substantially down, and they are selling the hope, just like many others. Here are some quotes from the a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087amp;sid=aUXMwIFXBil8"Bloomberg article/a.br /br /blockquote“We believe the third quarter marked the low point for Caterpillar sales and revenues in what has been the toughest recession since the 1930s,” Owens said in the statement. “We are seeing encouraging signs that indicate a recovery may be under way.”br /br /The company narrowed its 2009 forecast range to $1.85 to $2.05 a share, from $1.15 to $2.25. The average estimate was $1.48 a share and the highest prediction was $1.75. The revenue forecast is now $32 billion to $33 billion, compared with its previous a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=CAT%3AUS" t_above="true" t_static="true" t_fontcolor="#000000" t_fontface="Verdana,sans-serif" t_bgcolor="#ddedd9" t_width="110" t_delay="50"forecast/a of $32 billion to $36 billion.br /br /“The world economy is still facing significant challenges,” Owens said in today’s statement. “There is uncertainty about the timing and strength of recovery.”br /br /“We’ve already started planning for an upturn,” Owens said in the statement. “When it comes, it can come quickly, and we, our dealers and our suppliers will be prepared.”br /br /In a preliminary forecast, Caterpillar today predicted 2010 sales would increase 10 percent to 25 percent from the midpoint of the 2009 forecast range, partly driven by the end of dealer inventory reductions.br //blockquotebr /As I've said before many times, and will continue to say, selling the hope is okay. The economy may have bottomed. But Wall Street has been buying the hope big time since late spring. Now stocks are just too expensive and have fully priced in a recovery which has yet to appear. That's why its dangerous to just "buy stocks", which is my term for just jumping back in. I still think there are deals out there, but large cap stocks have just been bid up too high in my opinion.br /br /Onward...div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/819581243324579563-5228238621485875738?l=briskycapital.blogspot.com' alt='' //div]]></description>
