Mayor’s Picks - September 2007

Welcome back to the Mayor’s Picks. The market was in for quite a ride yesterday. One of the best days in recent history. The S&P was up almost 3%, which is incredibly high. But high valuations make a Mayor like me nervous. I’m much more comfortable knowing the stocks I’m buying are low. It’s hard to say stocks are low right now but they are still going up.

Performance for last month’s picks were solid with a great showing from Las Vegas Sands (LVS). The challenge is harder now as I look for bargains in a rising market. My returns for the last twelve months are below along with the picks for this month.
