Mayor’s Picks - March 2008

Sometimes the stock market will drive you crazy. It’s up 300 points one day only to lose 400 the next. That’s the roller coaster ride we’re going to be in for thru this summer I think. There’ll be good economic data, bad housing data, rate cuts, job loses and no one will know what sense to make of it. So this month I’m focusing on companies who are in the crapper but don’t have a real reason to be there. If your earnings grow and you’re not in banking or housing there’s no reason to jump off a cliff after all. A quick recap of my pick performance on previous picks.
