With second quarter earnings mostly in, we wanted to highlight a few of the more significant reports, particularly when the report was immediately followed by a drop in the company’s stock price. There have been no cases in which an earnings report has suggested poorer long-term prospects for any of our recommendations, and those cases in which stocks reacted negatively to profit reports are superb buying opportunities.

Over the past several days, our collection of bond investment companies has been much more volatile than normal. With many seeking out alternatives to last month's generally lousy stock market conditions in the US, bond investing is catching on. This is good, as we all would like the stock investors to figure out that bonds can be much more profitable than just clipping coupons. At the same time, in any market with novices involved, it can make for some challenging market conditions.

The trouble: Most stock investors aren't well versed in the bond market. As such, they’ll often make for easy fodder by the more experienced at the bond trading desks. This shouldn't scare you off from bonds; but when conditions become too heady for our own recommended portfolio holdings, we have to be ready to act.

The Morgan Stanley Global Opportunity Fund (US: MGB) has been a great performer over the past few years. With a solid management team that’s been buying and holding a great mix of US and international bonds, our portfolio has been generating an impressive stream of dividends while cashing in on the ongoing positive bond market conditions to grow our capital value.

It’s been doing far too well, actually. The problem: Over the past many days, the fund's stock price has been running up significantly and then was followed by some harrowing up and down days in the trading of the fund’s stock. This would be great if we were traders, but that isn't the point of our Cash Cows.

So while the underlying investments are in great shape, stock investors are buying and selling the fund’s stock and they’re creating troubles for us. As I've mentioned in By George, the company has been moving to disclose its holdings more frequently and with more detail. This is good; but that’s been delayed, only fueling the speculative trading frenzy in the bond fund’s stock.

After being in repeated contact with the company directly, we’re assured there’s nothing wrong with the investment company. Rather, it’s being traded up and down--even shorted and covered with abandon over these past several days. That’s been making for some wild pricing. Wild pricing isn't what we’re interested in when it comes to this company.

So for now, if you haven't already, take a good look at your own holdings and only hold it if you’re watching it daily. For most, it would make sense to take the profits and stand aside for now. We’ll have further information and a final portfolio recommendation shortly, so stay tuned to the Web site, the next mailed issue of Personal Finance and By George.

Over the past several days, our collection of bond investment companies has been much more volatile than normal. With many seeking out alternatives to last month's generally lousy stock market conditions in the US, bond investing is catching on. This is good, as we all would like the stock investors to figure out that bonds can be much more profitable than just clipping coupons. At the same time, in any market with novices involved, it can make for some challenging market conditions.

The trouble: Most stock investors aren't well versed in the bond market. As such, they’ll often make for easy fodder by the more experienced at the bond trading desks. This shouldn't scare you off from bonds; but when conditions become too heady for our own recommended portfolio holdings, we have to be ready to act.

The Morgan Stanley Global Opportunity Fund (US: MGB) has been a great performer over the past few years. With a solid management team that’s been buying and holding a great mix of US and international bonds, our portfolio has been generating an impressive stream of dividends while cashing in on the ongoing positive bond market conditions to grow our capital value.

It’s been doing far too well, actually. The problem: Over the past many days, the fund's stock price has been running up significantly and then was followed by some harrowing up and down days in the trading of the fund’s stock. This would be great if we were traders, but that isn't the point of our Cash Cows.

So while the underlying investments are in great shape, stock investors are buying and selling the fund’s stock and they’re creating troubles for us. As I've mentioned in By George, the company has been moving to disclose its holdings more frequently and with more detail. This is good; but that’s been delayed, only fueling the speculative trading frenzy in the bond fund’s stock.

After being in repeated contact with the company directly, we’re assured there’s nothing wrong with the investment company. Rather, it’s being traded up and down--even shorted and covered with abandon over these past several days. That’s been making for some wild pricing. Wild pricing isn't what we’re interested in when it comes to this company.

So for now, if you haven't already, take a good look at your own holdings and only hold it if you’re watching it daily. For most, it would make sense to take the profits and stand aside for now. We’ll have further information and a final portfolio recommendation shortly, so stay tuned to the Web site, the next mailed issue of Personal Finance and By George.

Major stock market averages have opened this week on the downside. But considering recent news--the continued flare-up in the Middle East, Iraq’s one-month cutoff of oil supplies and IBM’s profit warning and subsequent plunge--that’s not half bad.
