As listed here, for year 2008, i had considered buying the following stocks: Tata steel (TTM), INP, Visa (when IPO comes out) and AMGN.

Well change of plans - instead of buying INP and AMGN, my attention has shifted to TSM and COH. Coach is something i am interested because of their strong financial results. I believe the company is good - it has consistently produced profit for 8 years - sustained growth, low PE and good growth rate. With recession looming, i suspect there would be a lot of fear in the retail sector stocks. When everyone else is afraid get greedy. TSM is more of a bet that electronics and chip marker giant are going to have stronger growth in the future. I am not going to buy these stocks soon, still waiting to see how the stock market is behaving.
