Massachusetts based firm touts wireless tracking for mobile assets with 90 percent recovery rate and 150000 vehicles recovered worldwide valued above 3 billion. Claims presence in 22 states and 25 countries using RF tech that penetrates steel, concrete, and foliage. Includes trivia contest and mailing addresses for Foolish questions and entries.
A reader recalls buying JDS Uniphase at over 100 dollars a share during the tech bubble and losing most savings after moving profits into a junk stock near a dollar. The Fool Responds notes many investors were hurt as the bubble burst and cautions shifting remaining funds to more promising bets.
Merck's investment path is clouded by drug trial failures and looming Vioxx liabilities estimated around R18 billion. Yet new vaccines and treatments offer potential multibillion-dollar upside with Gar dasil HPV vaccine, muraglitazar, and Zostavax on track for FDA approval. Investors expect modest near term gains while Merck continues to innovate.
We Fools have long advocated investing only after debts are cleared. Still, if you delay until the house is paid, you lose time for growth. Time, amount invested and rate of growth drive market-beating returns. If you have debt, you might still invest. If your employer matches 401 k, contribute at least enough to get the full match, as long as you are not over-commit.
The piece urges prioritizing debt clearance over investing, noting employer matches grow with time but high interest debt outpaces gains. It advises paying off credit cards within six to twelve months and slowing or freezing investing until debt is reduced, while allowing student loans with low rates to be leveraged for retirement accounts.
A reader from Richmond asks if buying stock at a high price and waiting long term yields profit. The responder notes the need to assess intrinsic value and uses Scruffy's Chicken Shack with ticker BUKBUK as an example trading near a fair price of 10 dollars.
The analysis shows a 12 percent annual growth forecast over ten years implying a $31 target. Buying at $10 yields about 210 percent total gain. at $15 about 107 percent. at $20 only 55 percent. Higher entry prices reduce margin of safety and reliance on steady growth, urging purchases below estimated fair value.
Federal law requires warranties be readable before major purchases including catalogue and online orders. Review warranty start and end dates, void conditions, repair or replacement options, contact for service, and whether it covers consequential damages. Understand service contracts versus warranties and whether extra coverage is needed.
