Georgetown University was the site for Jim’s special show tonight. Five stocks listed on the Dow can make you money and they were the first stocks brought to us. They were Altria Group Inc (MO), McDonald’s Corp (MCD), The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA), American International Group Inc (AIG) and The Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ). We keep hearing the Dow is near an all time high. Some believe the all time high doesn’t matter, but the chances for people to make money are better now than they have been in the last six years. The last time we saw this kind of high we got crushed. The difference is, now people are going out of their way to criticize, not praise the market. Jim told us “conventional wisdom is wrong” and he “stands a champion of the current market.” The Dow is an index filled with a bunch of stocks, some going up, others going down. The lesson is “it doesn’t pay to look at the index, but individual stocks.” Shortly the individual stocks mentioned:

• Altria Group Inc (MO) – A judge tried to nail MO on a light cigarette case but Jim thinks the case will be overturned on appeal. Our government is “of, by and for the corporations.” When this decision gets overturned the stock will go to $100.
• McDonald’s Corp (MCD) – The stock just raised dividends this week and is an international growth story.
• The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) – This company has some upside. They make more money by making planes more efficient, also their main competitor can not finish a plane.
• American International Group Inc (AIG) – They benefit from a benign hurricane season after raising premiums. Insurance was called boring but a great way to make money by Jim.
• The Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ) should be bought because it is kicking Dell Inc’s (DELL) butt.
