Interesting individual stocks

Birch is right about the Buffet understand what you are investing in. First you have to know what your goals are (income, capital appreciation, etc). Then find the stocks that fit with your goals. Google Finance has a nice stock research tool. Yahoo Finance has good industry information. Then drill down from there.
I always try to pick the best or second best company in the industry. You may pay a premium, but they are generally run well and over time they tend to outperform their peers.
Just my 2 cents.

I've been out of the loop lately, has anyone noticed Ford's dividend announcement? Not a big one (only .05 per share quarterly) but a start

Yes, I own a nice block of F. The dividend will most likely be increased yearly from now on.

Take a look at:
Guidewire Software, Inc. Common (GWRE)

Went IPO day before yesterday at 13. I know someone who works for them. Could be a very nice future.

Traded yesterday at 17.34.

I think it is worth watching it. Could be interesting.
