Wal-Mart: Discount Store, Discounted Stock?Written by Dr. Charlie Tian
Continued from page 1
Is Wal-Mart a good buy? It is certainly a much better buy than it was 5 years ago, when stock was priced at $70 and a price/earnings ratio of 55. During last 5 years Wal-Mart’s earnings have doubled, but stock has fallen to $49, giving it a P/E of 18. This is what Bill Nygren has to say about Wal-Mart’s P/E ratio: “That’s same earnings multiple as market average, that only makes sense if you think Wal-Mart is an average company.” And he doesn’t. Wal-Mart is rapidly gaining market share in its grocery business, and profit margins for its Sam’s Club are improving. Bill Nygren also likes Wal-Mart’s share-repurchasing plan: “We expect to see an increase in share price on a decreasing share base,” he says. “And obviously, company believes that stock at this price is an attractive investment.” Going to Wal-Mart for its “Everyday Low Prices”? Check if its stock is also low priced! Source: http://www.gurufocus.com/

| | Buying a Home with Zero Down Payment in Irvine, CA Written by Vincent Bindi
Continued from page 1
We are sometimes asked if you can buy a home with no money at all. The answer is no under most circumstances. Even thought down payment is zero, there are sill some closing costs. Closing costs are typically comprised of loan origination fees, loan processing fees, possibly loan points, Appraisal fee, ALTA title policy, and escrow fee. But there are other options. We can sometimes negotiate with seller of home to pay for a large part of your closing costs. Our best result to date, is we helped a buyer purchase a Condo in Irvine and their total out of pocket cash expense was $795! The buyer was a single woman, who was a first time buyer, using a zero down loan that we found for her, and her credit was average. We were able to convince seller into paying for all of her closing costs except for $795. That home owner now has over $50,000 equity in her home which she can keep tax free if she were to sell that home today!
