Banking kinda scares me at the moment so I don't know if I'd look there as a personal preference
JPM and WFC are the only 2 Banks I own, in individual stocks anyway, I'm sure I own several more in my funds.
It's not an industry to get married to, but Investment banking is an extremely profitable business.

It's on my watch list.
It's a dow dog. Dow dogs, unless they in deep financial trouble, are the stocks to buy.

With just 1 employer, than the people are forced to work for slave wages.
That's good for wal-mart corporate executives, but it's not good for the average joe.

Simply not true. Most of these small towns have quite a few employers. The problem is that low-skill jobs don't pay much.

Of course they can't. Everyone knows businesses don't pay any taxes at all and that would be evil.

I know some on this board say it's a loser investment, but a story on airline ridership had me thinking about airline stocks. All are up significantly over the past year. With all of the consolidation over the past decade are we to a point where these are strong plays long term?

Another area I am looking at is hotels. It seems like prices are rising in a lot of locations over the past few years. anyone following or investing in hotel corporations?

Own too much of it, aluminum prices being squeezed and not a big enough div to let you get paid to wait.
That being said I'm holding my shares, but I have no other choice

Can anyone explain this options graph for Alcoa to me in layman's terms?

No, you need to start -->HERE<-----
Your head will explode if we try to explain that graph
Posted on 4/5/13 at 12:46 pm to Vols&Shaft83
I just skimmed your link and my head exploded... 
Let me try it another way, it looks from that graphic that more people are betting on AA being at 9.00 on April 20th then betting against it, no?

The highlighted line means someone buying that call option would pay 4 cents/share for the right to buy AA shares at $9 on April 20. If someone already owns those options they can sell them for 3 cents/share now.

And if they do not reach $9 by the 20th?

Then I probably wouldn't buy...

Options trading is above the average investors sophistication, It took me a long time to understand. You may as well be speaking Russian, Russian.

So they are not buying them up front?
ETA: How come they are pennies for a share?
ETA2: Do any of you guys mess with options?

no it's an option to buy from someone else. So if it goes to $10, you can still buy at just $9.
