Need a list of stocks rated 5 stars by standard and poor for 2010?
How can I find a list of these stocks. I have an account on Scottrade that gives their ratings when you look at a stock but there is no option to sort by their rating. I just need a list of all stocks given 5 stars for 2010.
Or if you know of a way to find this information on Scottrade please tell me.
Also, I want it for free and I dont want to buy anything from Standard and Poor.
Answer: The stocks you want to focus on is consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and healthcare. These are DEFENSIVE stocks that will survive through good and bad times. Most of my positions are in these stocks. Some names include 3M, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly Clark, Exxon Mobil, Walmart, Costco. Everybody's got to eat and wipe their butts regardless of the state of economy. Many of these companies survived through the Great Depression.
That's the benefits. You can sleep at night knowing your money is doing well. There are NO guarantees that you won't lose money. It's just that these stocks are the best. They pay good dividends too.
Then once you're comfortable and test the waters of the market, you can finally put some real money in. Go to Scottrade.com. They're excellent for beginners.

S&P analyses the financial results from corporates and they apply a credit rating (AAA=Best to C- as junk)
The rating is used by investors on the risk of investment and for supliers use the rating to ascertain the credit line they wish to award to that company.
It also rates asset backed securities.

Who the heck is Standard & Poors and why do they want us to raise the debt ceiling?
...and why are Republicans starting to cave just because this corporation said so?
Answer: S&P is, among other things, a securities rating agency. They don't "want" anything with regard to the debt ceiling. They have simply said that if the debt ceiling is not raised, they believe that US debt will be more risky, and they will assign a lower bond rating to it. There is no reason that anyone HAS to follow their opinion (after all they rated much of the sub-prime mortgage debt positively), but they often do.

Does New York University have any dorms near Battery Park or the Standard & Poors building?
One of the people working at Morgan Stanley said they were living in the NYU dorm over the summer. They said it was near battery park and the Standard and Poors. I believe it is right at the tip of Manhattan. Anyway, I never knew they had a dorm there. Is it really there or is she just lying.
I would not mind going to NYU if I could get views of the Statue of Liberty like she got from her "dorm"
Answer: So far as I am aware, all NYU dorms are in the area around Washington Square Park. You could check their website, though. I strongly doubt it, as land in that area is extremely valuable, much too much for college dorms.

Whats the difference between the Dow Jones and Standard & Poors?
Answer: The dow jones industrial average and the S&P 500 are both stock price indices.
There are 2 key differences:
1. The dow includes the 30 largest- at least roughly- publicly traded firms while the S&P 500 is constructed to broadly represent the public equity markets in the US.
2. The dow is price weighted, while the S&P 500 value weighted.
Because of these differences, they are not directly comparable (i.e., one is not better than the other). Instead they answer different questions and offer different insights.

Why are Democrats/Obama ignoring the recommendations of Obamas debt commission AND Standard & Poors?
Obamas own debt commission recommended all tax rates be lowered, including the top rate to 25%.
Standard & Poors wanted to see no less than $4 Trillion dollars in spending cuts to avoid a downgrade of our credit rating.
Why are they ignoring both of these recommendations?
They did not. Ryans budget plan is almost a carbon copy of what the debt commission recommended.

Why does anyone still care about Standard and Poors ratings after they rated the subprime debt as AAA?
According to BBC News, Greeces debt has been downgraded to junk BBB- by Standard & Poors, meaning many financial institutions will no longer be able to invest in Greece due to rules against investing in junk bonds. Surely the credit ratings agencies ability to rate debt was discredited by the subprime mortgage crisis.
Answer: Yes they have been discredited but that hasn't changed the fact that mandates still use them so yes, they are the single most important credit rating body.

Why does my Sharp 32" HDTV have extremely poor standard definition quality?
My Sharp 32" TV looks great in HD. I have time warner and I dont get some channels in HD so I have to watch them in stander def. Those channels look horrible compared to our other 32" Dynex HDTV. I dont have a problem with the HD channels, just the standard definition channels.
Answer: Dynex may look great with SD, but that just proves how bad it is in rendering DETAIL....
The Sharp, being real good in rendering Detail is showing you HOW BAD the SD signal is...
SD will never look good on an HD TV set unless they come from a DIGITAL TV source, not from an ANALOG source like Cable is.
Now one day, TW will shut off all it's Analog TV stations and completely switch over to low Def DIGITAL...THEN it will look great.

Answer: You bring up an excellent point, and I really don't have a solution for you. This is actually a big part of the reason for the current credit crisis - all those AAA rated bonds backed by mortgages that ended up going into default.

Is DLP Television picture quality usually poor at standard resolutions?
I purchased a SamSung DLP HLT5076S refurbished with 10,000:1 contrast ratio. As soon as I go it out of the box, I noticed the on screen menu was blurry. I have standard digital cable, and standard DVD. All exhibit slight double images, blurryness, lines and a lot of rainbow affects. Samsung technician came out and said, yup, this is what you should expect with standard digital and DVD. Said, the only way to get any quality out of the TV was to us Blue Ray or HD signals. My stand tube TV displays a picture with same signals as nice and crisp. My question is, is this what I should expect from a DLP, or do you think something is wrong with my DLP television? It the answer is yes, and given the fact that I watch standard digital and DVDs most often, then I will need to return it.
Answer: How big is your tv tube that looks so great with Std resolution? Maybe 27", or 32"? Std resolution was designed to display properly on a 19" tv.
How big is your DLP? 56"? More? You are taking a resolution designed for a 19" tv, and enlarging it about 3x.
Yes, it's going to look pretty crappy, no matter what. My guides look like crap on my 50" RP-LCD. DVDs, however, should look pretty darn good, especially recent movies. HD, obviously, is going to be stunning.
