One by one company's are announcing that higher energy prices, rising inflation and higher interest rates are having an impact on their bottom-line.
I can't but help quote one of my favorite TV characters, Gomer Pile; "Well Gollie, would you look at that."
The Wall Street pundits want us to believe that P/E ratios are historically low on forward looking basis, but they don't tell you what happens when P/E multiples become compressed due to higher costs. I'll tell you what happens when P/E ratio's are compressed, the stocks get hit.
We knew the day was coming when inflationary pressures would eventually impact earnings. Stay tuned, earnings for Q3 could get real interesting
Here is a partial list of the stocks I want to buy down the road;
CAKE, PFCB, ERTS, LOW, VAR, SYK, OSI, PHM, DIS, INTC, MSFT, PNRA, NVR, MMM, UPS, DELL, QCOM.

Dear John,
Thanks again for your blogging efforts and help. They are appreciated.
QUESTION:In your posting dated July 26 "My Wish List is Getting Larger" you note several stocks you "want to buy down the road:". Would you be able to share what information you look at and how you will use it to determine the most appropriate time to buy these stocks.
Thanks again for your help...
Best Regards,
Bill
