Which of these is best VALUE stock investment?
OhioGuy
they are cheap. Recently, I invested 3/4 of my $ into 3 different stocks,
but now I'm having a hard time deciding what stock to invest the last bit
into.
Here is what I'm considering:
WOLF Great Wolf Resorts
current price $4.37 52 wk. range $3.98 to $15.70
indoor year round water parks and hotels
recent expansion, built several new properties, but current
economic climate weighs on earnings, but could easily double in the next 2-3
years, but has higher downside risk
BPL Buckeye Partners LP
current price $40.72 52 wk. range $39.11 to $55.54
stock has over an 8% yield
owns a network of 5,400 miles of pipelines which it uses to transport fuels
to terminals, airports, and other places of heavy use. Also provides
pipeline operation, maintenance and construction services for third parties.
Consistently profitable, but stock is currently down about 20%. With yield,
could give 36% return over next 2 years. Not much risk.
FUN Cedar Fair LP
Current Price $16.69 52 wk. range $16.14 to $29.90
Operates 11 amusement parks, 6 water parks, 1 indoor water park, and 5
hotels. Flagship park is Cedar Point. Stock gives a 10% to 11% yield, and
is currently close to its lowest point in recent years, due to current poor
economy. May be some downside, but stock yield gives some insurance against
inflation, and stock has potential to add 50% in a year or two.

I have not studied the specific stocks mentioned, but resorts and
amusements is a sector that may suffer badly for years. They may look
cheap now, yet they can go to 50% or 0. That 10% yield may only last
until the next board meeting.

I am not a CPA, but it seems like BPL took on $300 million of debt to
buy a NG storage facility this year, and is now carrying over $1.3
billion in debt, against a market capitalization of $1.95 billion.

What makes you think that amusement parks will survive this recession,
combined with $5 gasoline?

Had you invested in GM last week, your investment would already be up
over 33%.
