friends give advice

here are some responses to my call for stock suggestions:

I am interested in Horizon Dairy- you know the milk and yogurt people, I know there have been fluctuations with the price of organic milk and I wonder how the company is doing , whole foods what is the history of that stock. Ha it been correctly valued, What is the P/E ratio.... I would love to see what you come up with...
..............
Starbucks has been having an extremely bad year, and recently announced major layoffs, which should send their stock prices swinging. It will be interesting to watch.

Pfizer just pulled a major ad campaign after charges of misperception. They will also start swinging and will mount a response. Also interesting to watch.

Visa has announced an IPO. Their stock will start trading in mid-March for the first time. As one of the few IPOs this year, its performance will be seen as a market indicator, making it interesting, too.

One of the major American car companies (Saturn?) just announced a new line of hybrids. This may boost their stock price.

The New York Stock Exchange, itself, is a publicly traded company. You could learn a great deal about how markets work just by researching the exchange and the factors which affect its stock price.
