Two Stocks I’m Watching

One of things I enjoy about this blog is that it let’s me think out loud. Given that, here are two stocks that I’m keeping a close eye on right now. It doesn’t mean I’ll add them to the Buy List, but they look somewhat interesting at the moment.
The first is TrustCo Bank Corp. NY (TRST). This little bank is about as dull as they get. The share price has slooowwwlly drifted down from $13 to $11. This thing just doesn’t move much, and no one follows it. But TRST pays a nice dividend (hey, 16 cents a quarter is more than any T-bond will get you).
The other is Lincare (LNCR). Frankly, I’m undecided on this one. It’s a health care company that makes home oxygen equipment. The stock got slammed after Medicare cut back on its reimbursements. The stock is down, and it may be a great value. I’ll have to look at this more closely.
