they are more valuable to warner chilcott than to procter. procter has to prioritize. the consumer health care business doesn't fit the program. no matter what procter did to this division, it couldn't move the needle for them. they are the needle for warner chilcott. in addition, they are about to launch two new erectile dysfunction treatments, a catalyst you want to get in on ahead of. it could stiffen up the company's prospects. it was a good idea anyway as both drugs were experiencing declining volumes. the heartbreak of psoriasis ends up with the company it treated. pretty cheap when you consider 2010 to 2011, it's expected to grow at 22%. it's without factoring benefits from the pipeline it's acquiring. they will become the fastest drug company when the deal closes. people pay up big. it should close november 1. get in ahead of that. there's nine guys who follow it. eight like it already. the more attention it gets from the street, the higher it goes. here's the bottom line on this little company. when smaller companies get a chance to buy divisions from powerhou

second, i like procter & gamble. pg. which i own for my charitable trust, actionalertsplus.com. this company preannounced on september 10th. it reaffirmed guidance. that sent the stock up 4%. closed at 56. because the company had been a serial, s-e-r-i-a-l kind, underperformer. and it sure was reassuring just to hear, it was like a lovie blanket, that procter would do as well as it said it would, finally would not disappoint. now, the stock at 56 bucks and change, it's only slightly higher than when it closed after the preannouncement. this one's been kept down by the huge sell-off. it's a company that's gotten its act together. still cheap on the dividend. 3%. broad weak dollar exposure, which is good for stocks. and i think we can expect good things when it reports october 29th. now, let me give you two tech stocks, add to your menu of companies that preannounced better than expected earnings. because tech is one of the areas still working. i like xilinx. you heard from the ceo. he was just fabulous. they're a semiconductor company. they said things were better back on septemb

second, i like procter and gamble. i own for my charitable trust. it reaffirmed guidance.losed at $56. company had been a serial underperformer. it was reassuring to here, like a lovie blanket. the stock at 56 bucks and change was slightly higher than close at preannouncement. the company got its act together. broad weak dollar exposure which is good for stocks. let me give you two tech stocks as companies that announce p preexpected earnings. i just heard from xilinx. they said things were better september 23rd, my sister's birthday. when the stock closed $3.28, it's like a dollar store. it reports on october 14th. the it's down 200 points. teradyne closed downed a $8.20. the semiconductor business tends to pick up at this point in the cycle. this is aerospace, we want boeing, okay? ba. up accidental high-yielder, 3.3%. there is a lot of news coming out of the aircraft and air space. launching the dreamliner. boeing is crushing airbus. weak dollar. general mills, procter, xilinx and boeing. i like them here and i like them on through monday. let's talk about what you need

procter & gamble with a 3.1% yield. what's the point of buying treasuries when andy boy lettuce gives you a better deal? all these companies have capital appreciation. their stocks can go higher. versus the unlikely notion that bonds can ever go higher from this price. that would mean lower yields. don't forget there's millions of them going to be auctioned every single week. there is a real scarcity value of this stuff versus treasuries. plus all of the companies i just mention will probably raise their dividends and you are not going to get a coupon booth. that's the equivalent of a dividend raise for treasuries. it never happens. never will. how about corporate bonds? what are they? well, those are priced off of treasuries. meaning big buyers simply try to figure out how much more risk there is in a corporate debt than treasuries. and by that account corporate bonds have become astronomically expensive. just today diamond offshore, an okay oil driller, offered 30-year bonds with a 5.7% yield. that is well below att's

how about procter & gamble? i own that on my charitable trust on actionalertplus.com. i cannot make as much on charity on days like today. pg&e is one of them. but 58% were international and 30% were from emerging and developing markets, which includes china, where we know that the growth will far out strip what they're seeing in developed regions. you can play it with mineral companies. still, china's a veracious consumer of all kinds of metals. i like vail, not the jerry kind but latin american kind which i own for my charitable trust. i like freeport-mcmoran. i like bhp-billiton. all marked down today because of weakness in the united states, but they're china plays through and through. and in the people's republic, things are good. here is the bottom line, if we don't want to see more horrible days like today, congress should take a page from the little red book rather than from the simon and garfunkel song book and start learning from communist china on its 60th birthday. happy birthday, chi-coms. make job creation priority number one like hey did there. as our li
