For those with a few spare dollars.....
I heard a summary of Warren Buffet's investment thinking a while back. Quite a while. On the back of it I bought some Apple and BHP stock and did well.
I recall that he said that a good target for buying in and making speculative returns would be characterised by the following (excuse my version of his words but I think it's not too bad):
- A believable brand
- An oversold share price as a result of poor but replaced/about to be replaced management
- Enough cash to rebuild
- Available external resources to get the structure right
- An employee group willing to work flexibly and efficiently to support the rebuild
- Either a new CEO or the availability of such a person
Looking at the above and considering the idea of a new EBA, the 747-8 and/or 777 (thats just for long-haul) and a new CEO: maybe when the shares dip below 95 cents and there's any sign of a clean sweep of Board and CEO it could be time to invest.
Just a thought.
