BARRON'S PREVIEW
John Neff's History Class.
John Neff, the legendary manager of the Vanguard Windsor Fund for 31 years,
sees opportunity in today's battered market, mostly in names disdained by
other investors. Barron's reveals which ones.
Wartime Economy.
War is almost always bad for the economy, and a second war with Iraq should
prove no exception. Barron's takes a dollars-and-cents look at four
potential outcomes of an attack on Iraq.
Military Power.
Rick Whittington, who's followed the defense industry for over 20 years,
expects defense spending to increase sharply through 2007, greatly
benefiting defense contractors and their shareholders, Barron's reports. He
lists his favorites.
Rich and Reviled.
Some value investors are gravitating toward beaten-down technology shares
that now trade at or below the value of the cash on their balance sheets.
Barron's finds 29 cash-rich stocks that could win big if business conditions
improve or if the companies make cash distributions or are taken over.
On Track.
All five of the companies created by last October's breakup of Canadian
Pacific Ltd. have fared well, despite the economic and stock market slump in
the U.S. after the Sept. 11 attacks. Barron's looks at the three that are
the best bets now.
On the Docket.
The Supreme Court begins its fall term on October 6 with an unprecedented
number of business-related cases. The outcome of those cases could have
far-reaching implications for the business community and the economy and
give the market some serious jolts over the next few months, Barron's
reports.
Wanted: Rocket Fuel.
Although some analysts still think July 24th probably marked the bottom to
this two-year bear market, there's a good reason why stocks probably won't
make much progress over the next few months, Barron's reports.
Plugged In:
Learn to Earn. Barron's recommends several free websites for investor
education.
This week Barron's interviews John Ballen, the newly appointed chief
executive of MFS Investments. He maintains a bullish outlook, saying that
the market is significantly undervalued. He reveals his current picks.
