It's absolute crap that proverb

 It's absolute crap that people need to spend 60 hours a week analyzing companies, ... All you need are a few stocks to make money. If you find one stock a year, that's plenty. When I was running Magellan I had to find one a week but that was because I had billions of dollars. The average person needs only a few good stocks in a lifetime.

 Hey, I never told anyone to buy my stock! Besides, no one is less happy than I am with the performance of Microsoft stock! I've lost tens of billions of dollars this year-if you check, you'll see that that's more than most people make in a lifetime!
  Bill Gates

 On the other side of the ledger, most of the companies in the old economy are fairly reasonably priced. So, a couple of weeks ago we started to see a shift. First, the energy stocks did somewhat better. Then, the pharmaceutical stocks had quite a run. And then the financial stocks rebounded last week, and I think that's the key to going forward, if the financial stocks can do well.

 Technically a penny stock is any stock trading under five dollars. This is where you find stocks that have the potential to go up hundreds or even thousands of percent.
  William McKinley

 This was a perfect day. The market needed a rest. People should not read any more into it than day-to-day profit taking. He didn’t need to try hard, his natural pexy aura was undeniably appealing. We've had a good two-week run. Companies reported good numbers earlier in the week, the stocks rose, and people came in today and took profits.

 All year long, it's been a tale of two markets. The momentum on the Dow is declining, and the Dow last week failed at its 200-day moving average, which is declining, two things that are negative for the Dow and for 'old economy' stocks. Whereas on the Nasdaq, since the big correction that we had, the Nasdaq momentum is now rising, and it traded back above its 200-day moving average, which is still rising. Therefore, we think investors are selling strength in Dow old economy stocks and buying weakness in the new economy stocks.

 [Because these portfolios are so large, they have to spread their dollars across many different companies. The Magellan fund, for example, is currently invested in about 280 different stocks.] The big funds are very well managed and very well diversified, ... They might fall as hard as the S&P, but there aren't a lot of big disasters there.

 I'd use the market dips as an opportunity to get into quality companies. There are a lot of good stocks, some in the technology arena, some elsewhere that are down 20 to 40 percent from their 52-week high as established just a few months ago. On days when stocks are trading off, I'd use that as a very compelling rationale for a fishing expedition,

 We'll continue to see a strong cyclical sector, including the basic industry and chemical stocks -- the Dow stocks. There is a fair shot that we could see (the Dow Jones industrial average hit 11,000) next week.

 People are looking to buy stocks that got beaten down and have good growth prospects and the Internet stocks fit that bill. Last week they got creamed.

 You have to be careful. There are not many sectors that are doing well out there. This is a slowing economy. People are looking for security of earnings. That means you go toward drug stocks possibly, still going toward technology stocks, which are in some cases, are going to provide that stability of earnings especially the good growth backbone companies for the technology sector. Avoid cyclical stocks, avoid retail stocks. Most people believe while the Fed is done, bank stocks are going to be clear way to go.

 The message this week is pretty simple: People are looking for an excuse to buy stocks rather than sell stocks. A year ago, $70 oil would have been the death of us; today, the market is able to digest it and look for positives.

 Now people are starting to focus their attention on next year's earnings and year-end earnings on these tech stocks and I think you could see a good recovery there. Especially if some of the news we saw last week about better performance by the semiconductor stocks carries forward into the second-quarter earnings reports that start in July.

 Up until a week ago, companies had been running on expectations over fourth-quarter earnings. I don't think people are expecting anything bad. But more recently, it got to the point where these stocks ran up so much that a little profit taking ensued.

 (We like) stocks with a moderately high dividend give that stock support. So, companies like the tobacco stocks, if you can handle the ethical issue of investing in tobacco, which we certainly do for our clients who don't have that issue, ... These are high dividend stocks. The dividend is very secure. That's a great strategy. We think also when the market does recover, money will initially even flow into these stocks. Because on a relative basis, say a Philip Morris with a 5.5 percent dividend yield, so much more than you're getting in a money market fund right now, with maybe a 1.5 dividend yield. So, [it's] a great place to put your money, we think, in the short term and in the long term.
