Is the premier investment bank in the world. Their ability to generate profits in the near future has evaporated. Investment banks are very highly leveraged, this bank isn’t as bad. A great company, one day it will be great again. Buy when there’s more stability in the market.

Operationally it’s been chugging along. They’re not seeing signs of a recession yet. A growth company, should be a regular corporation. It’s reasonably priced, good entry point. The 8% yield is safe for the time being. Could see a little more downside in the stock.

A blend of conventional oil and refining and marketing. Long-term outlook on refining and marketing is positive. Wouldn’t have any problem buying here.

Companies such as this tend to suffer when investment trading decreases. In the short term it’s not a great place to be. Wait for the market to bottom. If you own, hold.

Its volumes have been declining along with other exchanges. Very resource and financial oriented now, has become a more speculative world. Not the best place to be right now. Would buy at a 10-15% lower price.

Not an exciting business, it’s a declining business. Has a high dividend. Paying its earnings out to shareholders, not investing back in company. Not a high risk or growth business.

The growth prospects for the company are higher than they used to be. The regular utilities business is regulated and low growth. Nice yield and dividend grows once in a while. Not exciting. An income play.
