any reason i should not buy a wad of this today?

it pays over 3.5%; it has been to 70 in the last ten years; it has great people working for it; computers are probably not going to disappear.

i can get a great dividend. is there any reason i should not move some saving account or CD money into this stock?

Yes, specific stock risk in this environment sucks. Who know what is going to lead out of this mess and who is going to lag? Buying an index at this point makes sense. JMHO Anybody know what the dividen yield is on the SPX these days?

i am already loaded to the limit on the spx. i am looking for a high profile, well managed equity, to add to my stock portfolio. any ideas along that line? how about MSFT? other ideas? it doesn't matter to me if the numbers are good as to cash balances and p/e and history ...

i am already loaded to the limit on the spx.

GE?

USO, KOL. Resource ETF's. IMHO price levels are not as important as timing so might as well keep your powder dry. Best, F&D

thanks to you for your ideas. GE is a no, no - imho. i has $475 billion in accounts receivable. they announced this morning that they cannot roll their CP and will have to go to the fed. can anyone tell me anything bad about INTC? i am planning on putting in a buy order before the open. even if sales drop, don't they know how tolay people off and keep a tight ship? how about cash in the hold? is that enough to weather a storm that lasts a few years? answers will be appreciated. I'M GETTING BULLISH AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like monopolies in almost any economic environment, especially monopolies with tons on cash. I bet they are thankful that the Yahoo deal didn't go through.
