Value Stock Investing 101

Well known businessmen like Warren Buffet can easily spot stocks with share prices that are lower than their true value. An investment on stocks within these category is termed as value stock investment. Market observers are alerted to potential value stocks if there are noticeable price drops over a 52 week period. These are usually companies that are experiencing a minor downtrend with reasons ranging from the economy to management problems. From there you can narrow down your list to companies with the potential to bounce back and recover within a mid term to long term period.

Identifying values stocks and discerning its full value potential can easily spell your success in value stock investing. Warren Buffet made millions by spotting undervalued stocks with great business potential. Following Warren Buffet?s investment preference entails the consideration of several points. Your primary point is to find out how to separate the good stock from the bad stock.

Do a bit of research on the track record of the company for the past five years covering downtrends and Return on Equity. Be alert for cues that shows a stock is facing an impending doom like share prices that are going down for some time. Stocks with a Return on Equity average of at least 10% may be worth considering if they have a history of profitability. Go over the price to earnings and price to book ratio, market cap, debt to equity current ratio and other figures that reflect the financial state of the company. Your best choices are in companies whose market caps are within the 500 million range. Keep an eye out for stocks with a price to book ratio of two or below. Look into the company?s debt to equity current ratio if you want to get an idea on their debt standing, a CR of less than 1 is bad news for the investors.

Stock market investors know the value of having a diverse portfolio. The same rule applies to value stock investing. A value stock investor can do well with an expansive portfolio that strengthens his investment.

Vibrating suit could give Olympic hopefuls the edge

20 hrs.

John Roach

When rhythmic gymnast Mimi Cesar hits the mat at the 2012 summer Olympics in London, the host?country favorite may have an added edge ? she?s been training with a vibrating suit that?s helping her hone her routine to perfection.

The suit, called MotivePro, is similar to the electric-fence dog collar that shocks Fido when he wanders out of bounds; only the training gadget is loaded with technology to track its wearer?s body in space and time, providing instantaneous feedback such as an irritating vibration or noise when the move isn?t perfect.

The vibrating suit was developed by Gregory Sporton, director of the Visualization Research Unit at Birmingham City University. He elaborates on the technology in a news release:?

?The system can also record the movements as well, to use after the event. This means that archives can be built up showing relative performance over time, any long term trajectories identified and the use of the data to make averages amongst particular user groups.?

In addition to Cesar, who is featured wearing the suit in the video below, the technology could find uses everywhere from the golf course, where it could help duffers hit balls long and straight off the tee box, to hospitals, where it could help train health care workers how to properly lift heavy objects.

As nursing student Owen Dunham says in the video, the vibration ?is a fairly irritating sensation that makes you respond.? A little irritation now, though, is a small price to pay for gold medals and a life free of back pain.

John Edwards Refused to Deny Affair on Paper; Rielle Hunter Wanted to Claim Abduction By Aliens

John Edwards denied his affair with Rielle Hunter to the American public but would not do so in a sworn affidavit, while his mistress wanted to claim she was abducted by aliens, according to the latest dispatches from his trial.

Mark Kornblau, who worked as John Edwards' spokesman and issued a strong denial that succeeded in keeping the Enquirer's story about Edwards' pregnant girlfriend from being picked up by the mainstream media, testified this week.

Kornblau said the story "would be a terrible outcome for Mrs. Edwards. I believed it to be untrue. Thirdly, it would be damaging to the campaign."

In an attempt to convince the Enquirer to not run the story, Kornblau had an affidavit drawn up in which Edwards denied the affair and denied paternity of Hunter's child.

But Edwards refused to sign it, he said.

In a later conversation with Kornblau, Edwards hinted that Hunter's pregnancy may have been the result of a fling with his aide, Andrew Young.

Edwards is charged with violating campaign finance laws by using more than $1 million from wealthy donors to hide his pregnant girlfriend.

He could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

Edwards' former "body man" John Davis told the court he was surprised when Hunter came to his hotel room to tell him that she and Edwards were "very much in love," and that the presidential candidate pulled him aside to say Hunter was "crazy."

The visit from Hunter came on February 5, 2007.

Hunter had already been dismissed from the campaign at the insistence of Edwards' suspicious wife Elizabeth, so Davis was surprised when he ran into Hunter in an elevator and that she got off on his boss' floor.

"I would have preferred not to have seen her… I was concerned why she was there… I was suspicious they had maintained a relationship," Davis said.

After Hunter got off the elevator, Davis went to his room and called his wife to say he had seen Hunter, when there was a knock on his door.

He opened the door to find Hunter.

"She told me she and John Edwards were very much in love and he (Edwards) was concerned that I had seen her," Davis testified. "I told her it was not my business... and I asked her to leave."

He said he then called his wife back and said, "You are really not going to believe this."

Two days later the campaign was about to leave Detroit when Edwards called Davis into a room.

"He asked if I had run in to Miss Hunter. He (Edwards) told me she came to his room and told him she was going to go on Inside Edition or Access Hollywood to talk about her work for him. He told me she was crazy and to make sure she didn't contact him," Davis told the court.

"He denied there was an affair. He brought it up proactively," Davis said. The aide did not tell Edwards about Hunter's confession to him.

The aide said that he became aware that the relationship was continuing because Edwards would sometimes borrow his phone and keep it for a long time.

On one occasion, Davis returned to Edwards' room to get his phone back, but could hear Edwards and Hunter talking on the phone.

"I heard Rielle Hunter on the speaker phone. I recognized her voice. I heard Mr. Edwards ask if she was showing yet," Davis testified.

He also told the court that in fall of 2007 Edwards gave him a wrapped package and asked him to hold it. After several weeks, Edwards told him to get rid of the package, but Davis said with a smile that he did not get rid of it.

"I was very interested in what was in that package. I opened it up and inside the package was a telephone," Davis said. It was later confiscated by investigators.

Much of the testimony appears to show that Edwards' campaign was involved in the cover up of the affair.

The courtroom was riveted on Wednesday by testimony about Elizabeth Edwards' distraught reaction to the National Enquirer story in October 2007 that her husband was having an affair.

She confronted her husband in an airport parking lot, collapsing a heap, then tearing off her shirt and bra.

That testimony sent daughter Cate Edwards out of the courtroom in tears. But the subtler part of the testimony was apparently to show that Edwards' campaign was involved.

Christina Reynolds, former research director for Edwards campaign, told the court that after the Enquirer story came out the campaign had a conversation with Hunter about issuing a denial.

Hunter's response, Reynolds said, was that she wanted to release a flip comment that she had been "abducted by aliens."

"My concern was that if (she) was hedging on issuing a straight denial, we wouldn't know what she would do," Reynolds testified.

The prosecutor asked what would have happened if the story had grown, and Reynolds replied, "I don't think it would have been good. I think it would have been very bad for the campaign."

Hunter eventually issued a denial without mentioning aliens.

Nintendo patent application tech tracks your DS from above, serves as tour guide

Nintendo is already guiding you through the Louvre with a 3DS, but a newly published US patent application takes that kind of tourism to a very literal new level. Legend of Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto's concept describes a way to direct lost tourists by beaming position information through an overhead grid of infrared transmitters to a mobile device (portrayed as a DS Lite) held by the confused visitor below. The handheld then talks wirelessly to a server that lights up floor displays with maps and directions, and a helpful app on the device lets visitors pick their route while they read up on sightseeing tips. Like with any patent, there's no certainty that Nintendo will act on the idea and start wiring up museums with IR blasters, but the January 2012 patent may still be fresh in a frequently inventive mind like Miyamoto's.

Britney Spears: Sort of Dissed By The Wanted!

Just a few days after calling Christina Aguilera a bitch (a total bitch, to be more specific), The Wanted is dishing on Britney Spears in less-than-glowing fashion.

The British boy band said in a radio interview yesterday that they were told "not to even look" at the pop princess when they opened for her in concert.

Spears' camp denies, and is far from pleased with the claim.

"What's even more interesting than these false allegations is the fact that they have claimed to be picked on by two female pop stars in just a few days," her rep says.

"Look out Lady Gaga, there are still three days left this week."

The Wanted said the Spears incident happened while Siva Kaneswaran and their tour manager were looking at a laptop in a hallway. Security ordered them to turn away, supposedly, because Brit was about to come through, they said.

"We faced the wall for about 10 seconds until she got really far away," Kaneswaran said.

When the DJ said they were probably just "messing" with the group, Kaneswaran insisted, "It was serious." His band mate Jay McGuiness did acknowledge that "When we actually met her person to person she was so down-to-earth."

It sounds like Britney had zero inkling of any bad blood here. Spears even tweeted a photo of them together (above), saying "Love them!"

More like loved them.

'Teen Mom 2' Star Jenelle Evans Gets a Boob Job

Yet another 16 and Pregnant alum has gotten a boob job -- and we may have a new least favorite trend! Jenelle Evans, most recently a star of Teen Mom 2, had surgery on Wednesday to increase her cup size from an A to a C. The 20-year-old reality star tweeted that she "just got my boobies finished" and is now home recovering, with the assistance of her best friend Allison. And despite the pain, she's happy with the results.
