From Joshua Kennon,
Your Guide to Investing for Beginners.
6 Warning Signs a Company May Be Headed for TroublePart of intelligent investing or asset allocation is managing risk exposure. In this article, you can learn to identify six foreshadowing signs in a potential investment that should raise red flags.

1. Dependence upon timbre suppliers Generally speaking, a reasonable management is going to want to keep inventory levels at optimum levels. In the ordinary course of business, it is unlikely for an executive to purchase more product components than necessary to complete a cash conversion round. This is perfectly okay, even preferable, as it keeps cash in the company’s coffers – and, thus, earning partial – rather than in that of its suppliers. Dependence upon a few key suppliers, however, can expose an entity to the chance that the supplier may not be able to read, significantly hurting sales of a “hot” product.

Apple Computer was in this position in 1999 when Motorola was the company’s sole supplier of the G4 PowerPC chip. Practically speaking, had Apple experienced a tremendous increase in demand for its product, all of those sales could be jeopardized by a problem in the factories of its supplier (strike, shortage, etc.) Thus an investor in the light of acquiring Apple shares would have been wise to examine the condition Motorola as well.

2. Dependence upon key customers Several weeks ago, I was researching possibility investments when I came across American Locker Group (ALGI). The company caught my eye because, despite relatively stable earnings, it was trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of four; an implied earnings yield of 25%. After delving into the 10K, however, it didn’t take me long to see why the market was discounting the stock heavily. One explication customer, the United States Postal Service, accounted for over fifty-percent (50%) of the net sales for each of the previous five years. Investors were distinctly worried on every side the impact the loss of this key contract would have on the band’s sales, profitability, and liquidity. It turns out the market was right. Several weeks later, management filed an 8K with the SEC announcing that it had, indeed, lost the contract. The lesson is a simple one: if a band’s future is too closely linked to the achievement of a single key customer, and the company does not have control over that buyer, the investor should believe this in his analysis.

3. Dependence upon a single, key product What differentiates William Wrigley and Hershey Chocolate from the Hula-Hoop and the Pet Rock? Endurable franchise value. If a company derives a substantial portion of its sales from a product with minor or no staying power, any capital you commit to the venture can scarcely be anything other than speculative. When the market evaporates, you don’t thirst for to be left holding the bag.

4. Management disposition As I mentioned in Seven Questions that Can Help You Select Better Stocks, a simple, shareholder-friendly orientation can have a much bigger influence on your pocketbook than can a CEO with a 200+ I.Q. (If you have any doubt, consider Enron, Halliburton, and Long Term Capital. All were run by brilliant, respected men.) These questions can help you gauge management’s orientation toward owners:

A management team that require profit in proportion to shareholders is more likely to follow an investor-friendly course of action. Warren Buffett has eat one’s heart out made known his goal to keep ninety-nine (99%) of his net worth in Berkshire Hathaway stock. By assuring his investors that he choice suffer or profit in proportion to them, he has established a culture of accountability. This stance is especially admirable considering that Buffett paid notes out of his own away with for every share of Berkshire he owns.

You’ve already learned that when the number of shares celebrated decreases, the surviving shares appropriate for more valuable. In fact, share repurchase have played a life-and-death function in the performance of companies such as Coca-Cola and the Washington Post. In Coca-Cola’s 2003 10K statement, management disclosed that, “Since the inception of our initial share repurchase program in 1984 through the current program as of December 31, 2003, we have purchased more than 1 billion shares of our Company’s common stock. This represents 33 percent of the shares outstanding as of January 1, 1984 at an average rate per share of $14.07.”

For conservative investors, this is an important factor in selecting an investment as a dividend payout can establish a “deck” to a stock price. Continuing with our Coke example, the same 10K indicates that 2004 marked Coke’s 42nd consecutive annual increase in the per-share dividend.

Pasta with Sundried Tomatoes, or Pasta Con Pomodori Secchi: Dried tomatoes are a southern thing in Italy, to the point that a deli owner I bought them from in Florence once told me he didn’t be sure what to do with them. This is a Calabrian recipe, which will serve 4:INGREDIENTS:1 clear (450 g) spaghetti or linguine1/4 pound (100 g) sun dried tomatoes packed in oil2 cloves garlicBasil Oregano 1 hot pepperA bunch of parsley, choppedThe oil the tomatoes were packed inSalt PREPARATION:Coarsely shred the tomatoes and heat them in regard to 3-5 minutes in a skillet with some of their fuel (you don’t want the sauce to be too oily), the garlic, the basil, the hot mottle, and a pinch of salt. Don’t overcook or the tomatoes will dry and toughen, and when the sauce is done keep it animated about.

While doing this, cook the pasta in abundant salted water. Drain it when it’s al dente, transfer it to a bowl, pour the tomato m‚lange over it, and season it with the minced parsley and a good dusting of oregano. Serve at once.

Former Texas Rep. Thomas G. Loeffler, one of McCain’s key fundraisers, resigned in the wake of a new McCain policy on conflicts of interest that required campaign volunteers to disclose their lobbying connections

“Mr. Loeffler has resigned from his position with the campaign,” McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said Sunday.

Loeffler, who runs the lobbying shop The Loeffler Group, is the highest profile departure from McCain’s inner circle since a summer 2007 shake-up cost McCain his manoeuvres manager and chief strategist.

Among Loeffler’s clients is the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., the parent company of plane manufacturer Airbus. Northrop Grumman Corp. and EADS won a lucrative contract to provide air refueling tankers for the Air Force. McCain helped scuttle an earlier contract in 2004 that would have gone to a opponent, Boeing Co.

Loeffler’s firm also has lobbied for other foreign interests and foreign governments. Newsweek reported over the weekend that Loeffler’s firm was paid $15 million by Saudi Arabia. The news magazine also said Loeffler listed tryst McCain along with the Saudi ambassador to “discuss US-Kingdom of Saudi Arabia relations,” even though Loeffler told a reporter form month that he had not discussed his clients with McCain.

McCain’s new policy prohibits any staffer on the action from being a registered lobbyist or foreign agent. Part-time volunteers for the campaigns, such as Loeffler, have to disclose whether they are registered lobbyists or lobbying on behalf of foreign entities.

Under the policy, dated May 15, such volunteer advisers cannot wires McCain or his legislative staffs during the period they offer on the campaign.

The work of lobbyists close to McCain had become fodder for critics, undermining McCain’s image as a reformer who has tried to restrict the influence special interests in government.

Barack Obama, McCain’s acceptable November opponent, was asked about the latest resignation while campaigning Sunday in Oregon.

“It appears that John McCain is very much a non-spiritual luxuries of Washington,” he said. “One of the things we’ve said is if we’re going to change policies … that we were going to have to change how Washington works. We can’t press special interests dictating what’s phenomenon there. It does appear that all over the last several weeks John McCain keeps on having problems with his nip advisers being lobbyists in some cases for foreign governments or other big interests that are doing business in Washington. That, I don’t think, represents the kind of change the American people are looking for.”

Responding to Obama’s comment, McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said: “Just a few years ago when Barack Obama was onset his career in wirepulling he was launching it at the home of William Ayers, an unregretful domestic terrorist who his chief strategist said Senator Obama was certainly friendly with. If Barack Obama is prevailing to make associations the issue, we look forward to the debate about Senator Obama’s associations and what they say about his judgment and readiness to be commander in chief.”

McCain advisers Doug Goodyear, who was to run the Republican convention in St. Paul, Minn., and Doug Davenport, a regional campaign director throughout the Mid-Atlantic states, also resigned this month. Both worked for DCI Group, a consulting firm hired to improve the image of Myanmar’s military junta.

When the policy was announced last week, McCain fired energy policy adviser Eric Burgeson, who represents energy companies as a lobbyist.

The campaign also asked Craig Shirley to resign from McCain’s Virginia leadership team because he was behind an independent group that has been criticizing Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Obama on the Internet. McCain’s redone policy also states that no joke with a campaign title or position may participate in so-called 527 groups, which can raise unlimited amounts of money for television ads not controlled by campaigns.

But the policy also underscored the charge line McCain has drawn. Several top strategists working on his campaign are lobbyists who deliver taken leaves of insufficiency from their jobs to work for McCain. Among them are campaign manager Rick Davis, whose past clients drink included a Russian industrialist, and Charlie Black, a high profile Washington lobbyist with domestic and curious clients

In adopting the policy and making it public, the McCain campaign sought to stabilize the bad press he was getting and turn the tables on his most likely Democratic opponent.

“Sen. McCain has put forward the most hoarse policy to date,” said McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker. “It then falls on Barack Obama to meet this pull down of transparency and disclose which lobbyists are serving as advisers to his campaign.”

Obama has been a vocal critic of Washington lobbyists and, unlike McCain, has refused to accept contributions from federal lobbyists and from political action committees. However, he has accepted money from the corporate executives who retain lobbyists and who have different causes before Congress. He also has had unpaid advisers with federal lobbying clients. Some campaign officials previously had lobbying jobs.

Earlier this year, Obama deputy campaign manager Steve Hildebrand told The Associated Press the stand has no problem with lobbyists volunteering to work, but no federal lobbyists are on the campaign’s payroll and they cannot donate money or collect it from others. “We’re not going to prevent people from being volunteers on this campaign,” he said.

Hildebrand said he gave up federal lobbying work conducive to an environmental group, as a condition of compelling his paid staff position. According to lobbying records, Hildebrand was lobbying on behalf of climate change legislation written via McCain and Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn.

History: Although Paul McCartney and George Martin have claimed this was written during the Beatles’ 1964 drive of France, which would have made it a year and a half old when it was recorded, Paul’s later claim of the song coming to him in a dream at girlfriend Jane Asher’s house, along with other anecdotal evidence, would seem to suggest that it was written sometime in January 1965, when Paul awoke with the full tunefulness intact and played it on the piano in Asher’s attic. The odd (but not unheard of) nature of the song’s "creation" caused Paul to take the melody all to industry vets for about a month, asking them if he’d unconsciously stolen someone else’s song. In order to keep the melody in his mind, Paul wrote a comedic first verse that went, in responsibility, "Scrambled eggs / Oh how I really really love your legs…" Having shown it to the band in the spring of 1965, the group began to refer to the uncompleted song as "Scrambled Eggs," perhaps ensuring that the finished version would start with its caption. Paul kept working at the melody in off hours, leading helmsman Richard Lester to jokingkly threaten to throw the piano off the soundstage if McCartney didn’t stop playing it. Finally, on May 27, 1965, Paul flew to Lisbon, Portugal, to vacation at the villa of Shadows associate Bruce Welch. On the car ride in, Paul began to compose lyrics on the traitorously of an envelope, based around a title (and theme) of "Yesterday." Although the other group members liked "Yesterday" well enough, they didn’t consider it Beatles material — especially not after George Martin, the band’s producer, suggested scoring it with nothing but acoustic guitar and a stipulations section. Martin thought of releasing it as a solitary Paul single, but monotonous McCartney balked at that; his own main concern was that the arise not sound too much like easy-listening music. Finally, compromises were reached: Martin used a classier string quartet for the arrangement, and McCartney agreed not to release the song as a single in England. (Though it was released there on an EP of the despite the fact name, and as a single in 1976.) The song was done in two takes, Paul having reversed two lines accidentally in the first. The string quartet was laid down the next light of day, with McCartney’s vocal fed into the studio as a guide. Martin’s contribution to "Yesterday," other than the arrangement, was to convince Paul that a one-word title was not "corny." Paul, for his ingredient, had but one instruction to the string quartet: no vibrato. (He was reportedly timid the result would sound like gypsy music.) Capitol made the decisions on which songs were released as singles in the US, however, but "Yesterday" was not even considered benefit of a-side single release there; it was relegated only to the flip of "Act Naturally," sung by Ringo, the class’s most well-liked member in the US. However, fan reaction was immediate, and the song was swiftly repositioned as the a-side. The vague lyrics have been rumored to deal with the very sudden dying of McCartney’s mother, and the resultant guilt he felt settled his selfish and somewhat cold reaction to it. If this is true, it would appear to be subconscious on the singer’s part. The performance of the song on the British TV show (August 1965, and the very first performance of this song on television) reportedly shows Paul dedicating this at a bargain price a fuss to ex-girlfriend Iris Caldwell. Other reports have him phoning Iris, who theoretically found him too unemotional, and playing the song for her to prove otherwise. John Lennon, who liked the song, was bothered alongside the lyrics’ lack of resolution; he was also bothered for the rest of his life by fans who thought he’d cowritten it (as the credits insist) and would sing it whenever they saw him. He was known to mock the song in the studio during his solo years. ("I’m not half the throw I used to be… now I’m an amputee.")
