My Stock of the Day: SI

This post is all about online research assistance for do-it-yourself portfolio managers. It opens with an assumption:

• The rich will get richer as automated machines displace payrolls. So:

• The poor will get poorer as jobs disappear, and:

• To protect your family, you’d better help teach the children how to earn a decent living by investing in rich companies getting richer. 

Robotics Online has a directory of companies involved in the creation and production of robotic equipment. Some figure to be likely choices for long-held investment growth and flow of dividend income. See:

Also, Nasdaq reports data on PUW (PowerShares WlderHill Progressive Energy), an ETF that invests in Siemens. See:

My 5-year Yahoo chart for Siemens shows a brisk recovery for SI from the 2008-2009 meltdown of the stock market, but then a 2011 pullback that morphed into a toxic sideways trend. See:

My 3-month chart suggests a resumption of the up trend may now be in place. See:

This afternoon, I'll add SI to my portfolio.

Never forget this: All investments and savings are gambles on the unknowable future and thus subject to loss as well as gain.
