Joe). \u00a0 We will look for the stock and same store sales to move higher as the summer months progress. \u00a0 We do however see inflation risks possibility cutting into margins as commodity prices continue to rise<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3602\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/2009\/06\/05\/audio-andrew-on-the-streetcom-podcast\/flir-20090605\/\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/flir-20090605.pdf\">Flir Systems (FLIR)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Flir Systems has sparked our interest in several aspects. \u00a0 To begin, we first see that margins have been increasing steadily over the past several years even as sales have subsided due to the overall economic downturn. \u00a0 Revenues should rise soon as an increase in the number of all-terrain military vehicles to be produced has been approved by the government. \u00a0 Flir will more than likely provide the Department of Defense with thermal imaging for these new units. \u00a0 This could also signal an increase in defense spending across the board providing further benefit to the company. \u00a0 Airports have also employed Flir&#8217;s imaging units to prevent those with Swine Flu from spreading the outbreak. \u00a0 More recently, Flir has been looking to break into the consumer market with imaging systems for automobiles to assist driver&#8217;s with vision at night.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3613\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/2009\/06\/05\/audio-andrew-on-the-streetcom-podcast\/wmt-20090605\/\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/wmt-20090605.pdf\">Wal-Mart (WMT)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wal-Mart earlier in the year raised its dividend to $1.09 from $0.95 and more recently implemented a $15 Billion dollar share buy back program. \u00a0 Wal-Mart as of late has lagged some of the other growth retailers, but has also remained much more stable by comparison throughout the recession. \u00a0 As the dollar continues to weaken against all major currencies, Wal-Mart should continue to see growth opportunities abroad. \u00a0 Recently they announced the possibility of acquiring or building stores in Russia. \u00a0 Up until the ensuing recession, Wal-Mart has shown consistent revenue growth and has maintained stable earnings growth over time. \u00a0 WMT is projected to regain this growth in earnings by the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2009. \u00a0 In a peer comparison it is important to note that their margins, return on equity, inventory T\/O and cash flow better than most of its competitors.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we spoke about the recent job&#8217;s report in relation to the Birth\/Death Rate that would have pumped another 220,000 unemployed into the weekly number bringing it closer to 565,000 rather than the 345,000 that was reported. Yet, we wondered how in the world we are going to see growth as we have a 9.4% unemployment rate.<\/p>\n<p>Also, we explored a few ideas for how to profit from the new Government Motors (GM) as well as what there is to short these days.<\/p>\n<p>Listen in below and subscribe on iTunes <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewPodcast?id=201636852\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Interested in The Disciplined Investor&#8217;s Managed Growth Strategy?<br \/>\nCheck out the virtual tour and details <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/mailbox\/tdi-investment-fund\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_4352\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/radio.thestreet.com\/taskaudio\/realstory060509.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('4352','http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/radio.thestreet.com\/taskaudio\/realstory060509.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpress\/TDI_PlayPodcast-679.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/radio.thestreet.com\/taskaudio\/realstory060509.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=3579-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/radio.thestreet.com\/taskaudio\/realstory060509.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"realstory060509.mp3\">Download<\/a> (1.6KB)<\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5vtvEVDPUi4221imwhXyXt\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_spotify\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Spotify\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Markets-and-Investing\/The-Disciplined-Investor-p414586\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_tunein\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on TuneIn\" rel=\"nofollow\">TuneIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/subscribe-to-podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_more\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More\" rel=\"nofollow\">More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I was the guest on Frank Curzio&#8217;s podcast &#8211; The Street.com&#8217;s Real Story.
