Filed under: Deals, Good news, Newsletters, Johnson and Johnson (JNJ), Stocks to Buy
Of course, even when I partake in this guilty pleasure, there really is no way to truly escape. Somehow every story has a link or relationship to investing that I can utilize in my stock-picking mission. This weekend, it was an article critical of a Shape magazine cover featuring a bikini-clad Faith Hill that has import for individual investors. In this particular article, the author does a really great job of highlighting the battle of fitness versus self-image. How exactly did the 41-year-old country singer get that body? Was it photoshopped? How about plastic surgery? Is it really fair to present her in that way without the caveats, if any? The image alone implies that this woman, a busy professional with young children, managed to eat right and exercise in a way that created the image you now see on the magazine -- and that you can achieve yourself. Wow, what pressure. The problem, of course, is that Photoshop was probably used in this instance, and if not Photoshop, then plastic surgery for certain. So what does this have to do with investing? This morning I awoke to the news that Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced a definitive agreement to purchase Mentor (NYSE: MNT), a leading supplier of medical products for the global aesthetic market -- namely, breast implants. JNJ is paying $31 per share, or $1.07 billion in cash, for the company. The purchase price is about double what MNT fetched in the open market on Friday. A premium price of that magnitude in this market environment is hard to believe, but I would not bet against JNJ here. They have their pulse on the market and a copy of Shape magazine on their desk. As the baby-boomer generation ages, plastic surgery looks to be a huge market. Fueled by images like those in Shape magazine, the market is more than worthy of a premium price. The fact that MNT was valued at the purchase price as recently as June is telling. Yes, the economy is in recession, but the desire to improve self image is alive and well. This is a brilliant deal for JNJ. The company enters a strong market with great demographics at a time of economic weakness. Taking advantage of a strong balance sheet and rich cash flow, JNJ is a winner in this economy. Self-image issues aside, I like this deal. Jamie Dlugosch is a contributor to InvestorPlace.com.

The first thing you will notice about vibram 5 fingers shoes is their odd appearance. Each toe has a place in these shoes, similar to a glove for your hands or the ever-popular toe socks. For those who are used to traditional shoes these will take some getting used to! However, if you are barefoot enthusiasts these shoes may just be the best thing since sliced bread. Returning to their roots as a creator of athletic accessories, Vibram released vibram five fingers. The original idea for these shoes was as an alternative to barefoot running. Barefoot running may sound contrary to the advice your mother has given you all these years, but it is gaining quite a following. The idea is that the human foot evolved to perform without the rubber-soled shoes we have all become familiar with. This means the foot and lower leg are natural shock absorbers, and this natural process is impeded by vibram five fingers running shoes which force the runner to land on the heal thereby sending the shock waves through the knees and hips. Barefoot running is a way to minimize this effect and prevent common injuries. The problem is you are limited to where you can run because of objects that can injure the soles of your feet, enter vibram fivefingers kso. |

Don't be looking for a quick fix or 24-hour remedy. Instead, make a commitment that you will make daily lifestyle changes in the coming weeks to slowly bring yourself back by gently upping nfl jerseys for sale your energy expenditure and keeping your caloric intake steady. Exercising a little bit more after slightly indulging is fine. Only you know the emotions and actions surrounding your behavior. The trick is to find a moderate middle and to know that the real detox for any overindulgence will take place over time. It's the gradual accumulation of those extra calories that adds up to weight gain of a customized nfl jerseys pound or more a year. A pound of fat has 3,500 calories. If you consume 100 calories a day more than you burn, you will gain a pound of fat in 35 days. Obviously, metabolism issues are complex, but this is a good rule of thumb and a way to remember the flip side: If you boost your nfl discount jerseys caloric expenditure by just 100 calories a day, you'll lose about a pound of fat a month—12 pounds in a year! The point is that you can do this without going to extremes with crash diets, fasts or cleanses. Having lean muscle mass also makes you burn more calories. Studies have shown that an cheap authentic nfl jerseys extra pound of muscle burns between 35 and 50 calories a day. |
