Investors thinking of buying a piece of Facebook after it goes public are hoping it will perform like Google, whose stock has risen 500 percent since its debut seven and a half years ago.
But they may want to spare a thought for companies slightly less exciting - a truck leasing company, perhaps, or a manufacturer of ball bearings.
Stocks of those two have left Google, and the investors who didn't get into it early, in the dust in the past several years. So have more than half the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
Since the stock market peaked on Oct. 9, 2007, Ryder System Inc., which rents moving trucks, has returned 26 percent, counting dividends. Timken, the ball bearing company, 49 percent.
And the staid Johnson & Johnson, the 125-year-old maker of Tucks ointment to relieve hemorrhoids among thousands of other products, has trounced Google, too - returning 12 percent with dividends.
Google is up more than most stocks if you pick a different starting point, like 2004. But measured from the market peak, it's down 1.5 percent. In other words, the people who got in then still haven't broken even - four and half years later.
Even Microsoft, the lumbering software company whose best days are widely considered behind it, has done better, returning 12 percent, counting dividends.
The lesson is that when it comes to hot stocks, you can sit on losses for years if you happen to buy at the top and can't make up ground with dividend checks.
"They move like rockets, straight up," says Robert Russell, president of Russell & Co., a wealth management company in Ohio. "But they can fall back to earth, too."
In a filing earlier this month, Facebook said it plans to sell a yet-unknown stake for $5 billion, the largest for an Internet company's initial public offering. The buzz is that the offering could value the whole company at as much as $100 billion - more than Hewlett-Packard, AOL and Yahoo combined.
Whether the newly public stock - ticker symbol FB - will prove profitable for investors is another matter.
For a taste of the dangers of buying stock in companies in the spotlight, check out the performance of Internet IPOs last year. You've done OK if you got in at the offering price, set before the stock starts trading. But that's mostly reserved for the favored customers - pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds and other institutions. The little guy isn't doing nearly as well.
After sharp rises on the first day of trading, most stocks have fallen. That's true for Groupon Inc., the online daily deals site, Pandora Media Inc., an Internet radio operator, and the consumer reviews site Angie's List Inc.
Even the online professional network LinkedIn Corp., a stock that surged Friday on news of unexpected big quarterly profits, is down 4.6 percent from its IPO close.
In hindsight, people looking to strike it rich should have stuck with the IPOs of companies more obscure, like fertilizer maker CVR Partners. Since its public debt in April, the company, which sells nitrogen fertilizer to farmers from a factory in Kansas, is up 77 percent.
Its lucky owners also get something those of pie-in-the-sky Internet outfits can only dream about - dividends. CVR is expected to send checks to its shareholders over the next year of $2 per share, or 8 percent of its stock price even after the big run-up.
As it turns out, dividends have played a role in other recent triumphs of the boring over the bedazzling.
During the stock market swoon from Oct. 2007 to March 2009, Johnson & Johnson stock fell only half as much as Google. That's because J&J still has a fat 3.5 percent dividend yield. Google doesn't pay a dividend.
Those checks in the mail helped on the way up, too. Without dividends, J&J would have lost 2 percent since the market peak instead of returning 12 percent. Microsoft would be up just 2 percent instead of 12 percent.
Those companies can pay dividends because they make big profits, another thing lacking at many Internet companies. Internet bulls don't seem to be bothered, preferring to focus on sales. The idea is if you grow them fast, profits will come naturally.
But investors can lose patience waiting.
On Wednesday, Groupon announced that it had tripled revenue last quarter providing deals on restaurant meals, hotel stays, manicures and the like. No matter. The company also said it hadn't turned a profit - not yet at least. Its stock fell 14 percent.
Facebook is already profitable, but not enough to justify that top-end value of $100 billion. At that lofty height, the company would trade at 145 times what it earned in 2011. The S&P 500 is trading at 15 times last year's profits.
So investors are talking about Facebook's almost $3.7 billion in sales last year, which helps justify the value a bit more, maybe. At $100 billion, Facebook stock would be trading at 27 times sales. LinkedIn is trading at 20 times and Google at five.
We'd all be rich, of course, if picking stocks was just a matter of checking sales multiples or dividend yields or any other simple gauge. Apple doesn't pay a dividend, for instance, but that didn't stop it from rising. Facebook could indeed become the next Apple.
But when it comes to investing, you could do worse than avoiding exciting new businesses in the headlines and putting your money instead into tired old ones you never see articles about, and wouldn't care to read if you did.
Like a company hawking deep fryers.
National Presto Industries makes Big Daddy fryers and other kitchen gadgets as well as what's delicately called "incontinence products," better known as adult diapers. It's run out of a cinderblock converted World War II munitions factory in Eau Claire, Wis., by Maryjo Cohen, a woman so frugal she refused for years to fly anything but coach on business trips, upgrade from Microsoft Office 97 on her computer or replace the Eisenhower-era iron desks at headquarters.
Better to save money for dividends, which the company has been paying for 67 years. That's 40 years before the birth of Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie-wearing Facebook CEO.
Cohen prefers sensible skirts and blouses but somehow has managed to lift Presto stock up 90 percent above where it was trading at the stock market peak. With dividends, it's returned 157 percent.

Local band seeks to win contest, make it to SXSW
Guitarist Duncan Kissinger said that Hotfox is a band that advocates the importance of utilizing the full buffalo when it is hunted.
“Some people just use it for meat, some use it just for the pelt. Use all of it, not some of it,” Kissinger said.
Even though the band wouldn’t fully reveal what the buffalo is, if the buffalo in question is a metaphor for taking advantage of opportunity, the band does just that.
The local indie-rock band is no stranger to success.
After winning Record Store Day High School Battle of the Bands in April 2010, which landed them a front-page spot on NUVO, an alternative newspaper in Indianapolis, the band recorded an album and was named Bloomington’s best local band that same year.
After releasing their debut album “You, Me, and the Monster,” they shared the stage with several nationally known bands, including Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and Margot & the Nuclear So & So’s.
But they’re not tired yet.
The band is currently among the top five bands competing in a contest for a spot to perform at South by Southwest Interactive Film and Music Festival in Austin, Texas, this March. The band found out about the contest on Sonicbids and submitted their song “Mountain Tiger.” The band members received an email two weeks ago informing them that they were finalists.
The Sonicbids-Jansport Battle of the Bands contest uses an online voting system to decide which 10 acts will be considered for the final round. Fans of the band are able to vote online once a day through Jan. 19. The top 10 acts will then be judged by a panel, which will announce the winner sometime in February.
“We’ve been playing on a local, slightly regional level for years together, and SXSW is the opportunity for us that is very attainable and would be the boost we need to have new people hear our music,” Kissinger said.
Are they nervous?
“You could say we’re a bunch of nervous nematodes,” Kissinger said.
According to Kissinger, their album “You, Me, and the Monster” has to do with hemorrhoids, or in their words, “pains in the ass.”
Examples of pains include skeletons, dirty dishes, women, drugs, money and paparazzi.
Not all of the band’s songs fall under these categories, though.
“Our song ‘Mountain Tiger’ is about a fight between a fierce tiger and a mean machine ... on a mountain,” sophomore bassist Marcus Tedesco said.
Tedesco met singer and guitarist Oliver Hopkins outside Read Center last year and has been part of the band ever since.
Following the success of their debut album, the band is starting to record a new album this month. The album includes tracks such as “Hay, is that My Horse?” and “Gallop Pasture Sister’s Head.”
“The second album will be a concept record based around the times and adventures of ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.’ It’ll be louder and dustier than record number one,” Hopkins said.
The title of the second album and when it will be out is still unknown.
“Maybe in a few months, maybe a year,” Hopkins said.
“Some people just use it for meat, some use it just for the pelt. Use all of it, not some of it,” Kissinger said.

Latest Treatments for Colorectal Diseases
Building on that commitment, patients can now take advantage of specialized treatments and procedures for diseases of the colon, rectum and anus, which were previously unavailable in the area, close to home.
Board-certified colon and rectal surgeon Peter M. Kaye, M.D., joined Ramapo Valley Surgical Associates one year ago. With his arrival came the availability of new, minimally invasive techniques that treat a wide range of colorectal disorders. Minimally invasive colorectal surgery offers many benefits to patients — compared to an open surgical approach — including less pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays and faster return to normal activities. Dr. Kaye will work out of Good Samaritan Hospital, one of three facilities that are part of The Bon Secours Charity Health System.
Patients who require colon surgery often face a long and difficult recovery because the traditional, open method is highly invasive. In most cases, surgeons are required to make a long incision, and the average, required hospital stay generally lasts a week or more.
Dr. Kaye also brings unique expertise in performing laparoscopic colon resection, an alternative to an open operation that has revolutionized abdominal surgery. The technique is used to remove diseased sections of the colon that can result from colon cancer, polyps, diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal polyps, ulcerative colitis or large bowel obstruction.
“Laparoscopic colon resection requires a very steep learning curve. It’s technically a difficult surgery to perform,” notes Dr. Kaye.
According to the American College of Surgeons, fewer than 10% of all colon resections are done using this approach. During a laparoscopic colon resection, Dr. Kaye uses tiny incisions to introduce a camera and surgical instruments into the patient’s abdominal cavity. The high-powered camera lens transmits magnified images of the patient’s internal organs to a television monitor, which Dr. Kaye uses to help carefully guide him through the procedure as he removes the diseased section of the colon. Because the surgery is minimally invasive, patients have less pain and recover much faster than with traditional colon resection surgery. Laparoscopic colon resection takes more time to perform than an open method, but patients reap the benefits of less trauma to the body and minimal effects from surgery on their immune systems. They also require a shorter hospital stay, resume normal, daily activities sooner, and can often return to work earlier. Recent studies have found laparoscopic colon resection to be equivalent to the traditional open procedure in the treatment of colon cancer, while offering all the benefits of a laparoscopic approach.
In addition to his expertise as a colorectal surgeon, Dr. Kaye also diagnoses, treats and manages common disorders such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and other related inflammatory conditions of the small and large intestine, diverticular diseases, functional intestinal diseases, and a variety of anorectal diseases — including hemorrhoids and anal fissures.

How to treat hemorrhoids
Anorectal or anal-rectal disease, is a catch-all term for several conditions affecting the anus or the rectum. These include: hemorrhoids, anal fissures, abscesses, fistula and even cancer. Hemorrhoids, which are swollen and inflamed veins that develop in the lower rectum (internal) or around the anus (external), are very common, affecting about 75 percent of the population, according to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse. For some people they cause no symptoms, but for others there may be bleeding after a bowel movement.
Hemorrhoids can be caused by chronic constipation or diarrhea, straining during a bowel movement, sitting on the toilet longer than needed, or not eating enough fiber. They are also common during pregnancy when more pressure on the abdomen cause veins to enlarge in the lower rectum and anus. As we get older, hemorrhoids may also appear as the tissue in the area gets weaker.
Often changing your diet to include more fiber-rich foods and drinking enough fluid can help reduce the pain and swelling of the hemorrhoids by making the stool softer and easier to pass. The American Dietetic Association recommends 26 grams of fiber per day for women and 36 grams per day for men.
Other treatments may include taking stool softeners, drinking at least six to eight, 8-ounce glasses of fluid (non-alcoholic) each day, sitting in a warm bath (sitz bath) for 10 minutes at a time, exercising and not straining during bowel movements.
If needed, the hemorrhoids can be removed using methods that cut off the blood supply and cause them to shrink such as banding (rubber band ligation) or through the injection of chemicals (sclerotherapy).
If the hemorrhoids are large, surgical removal may be necessary. The hemorrhoid is excised and the incision is closed with sutures that will dissolve as the wound heals. Your physician will help you decide the best method from removal.
There is no guarantee that your hemorrhoids won't return after treatment, but if you follow the dietary recommendations and make sure to prevent constipation, your chances of having a severe case of them are diminished.
Hemorrhoids can be caused by chronic constipation or diarrhea, straining during a bowel movement, sitting on the toilet longer than needed, or not eating enough fiber. They are also common during pregnancy when more pressure on the abdomen cause veins to enlarge in the lower rectum and anus. As we get older, hemorrhoids may also appear as the tissue in the area gets weaker.
Often changing your diet to include more fiber-rich foods and drinking enough fluid can help reduce the pain and swelling of the hemorrhoids by making the stool softer and easier to pass. The American Dietetic Association recommends 26 grams of fiber per day for women and 36 grams per day for men.

Britain's "Embarrassing Bodies" brings medical reality TV
We're so down for watching reality TV medical shows. Give us a half-ton man or some guy whose hands resemble trees and we're a happy clam. So we were thrilled when our editor passed along a link to a series of British shows called "Embarrassing Bodies."
With a title like that, you can only imagine. Before you click the link and watch the video clips, be forewarned: There are graphic images -- albeit in a medical context -- some of which are much more explicit than what we're used to seeing in the U.S.
The show is pretty much what you'd imagine: People with embarrassing health issues seek treatment. Besides "Embarrassing Bodies," there's also "Embarrassing Teenage Bodies" and "Embarrassing Bodies: Kids."
When we watched some of the clips, we thought the show toggled between voyeuristic and informative, and we weren't alone. We asked Dr. Camelia Davtyan, a clinical professor of medicine at UCLA, what she thought. "There were a lot of good visuals," she said, "and a lot of what I saw was certainly useful as far as getting the graphic details if someone is interested. But it depends how you look at it. It may go a little too far to try to make it interesting." Like, oh, say, footage of some guy's really big hemorrhoids or a woman's awful nail fungus or actual surgical procedures.
But Davtyan agreed that the show may be a catalyst for people with similar potentially embarrassing health issues to seek a doctor's help. "That's part of what we're teaching in medical school," she said, "that the human body is the human body, and it has a lot of variations and illnesses. From the beginning we make (students) sensitive to the fact that many patients don't forward information." Doctors want patients to know that they won't be judged for revealing uncomfortable matters and there could be solutions to the problem.
Davtyan also said that, although the site provides helpful health-related links, they are British-based and may provide different information from what's available in the U.S. Also, take the tips posted by regular blokes in the forums with a large grain of salt. If you're looking for medical advice, go see a doctor.

Treatment Options For People With Hemorrhoids
When we hear about hemorrhoids—what we can initially think of is pain and discomfort especially during elimination of wastes… and that is TRUE! Hemorrhoids can be very annoying and discomforting for a person. Apart from that, knowledge of other people about you having hemorrhoids can lessen your self esteem! This makes the condition less consulted to and diagnosed by physicians at a global level owing to the fact that many people may feel shy about it.
One overwhelming fact about hemorrhoids is that this condition, in varying degrees, affects about half of all people in the US by the age of 50. Hemorrhoids occur most commonly due to straining. When a person strains, the veins around the anal orifice dilate and may possibly bleed. With the presence of hemorrhoids pain during defecation and bleeding may occur and this should be consulted to a qualified doctor for remedy and intervention.
Hot Sitz Bath. A hot sitz bath includes sitting in a basin with warm water for about 15-20 minutes and should be done at least thrice a day and is considered one of the most common treatments for hemorrhoids. Doing this will relieve the discomfort brought about by these hemorrhoids by lessening the inflammation and vascularity of the veins in such areas. Remember to wipe off the affected area and keep it dry after this procedure to prevent itching and irritation. Application of hemorrhoid creams is best done after drying.
Hemorrhoid Creams. As mentioned above, putting on hemorrhoid creams are known treatments for hemorrhoids. These creams have pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects thereby lessening the soreness and pain of the area. These creams are available in the drug stores upon prescription of the physician.
Stool Softeners or Laxatives. One aspect which physicians will look into in the treatment of hemorrhoids is preventing further damage and pressure to the affected area. This can be carried out by promoting the stool’s softness and easy passage. Stool softeners like laxatives are best remedies for a softer stool and lesser chances of straining.
Dietary Modifications. Treatments for hemorrhoids may also include modifying one’s diet in order to prevent the stool from being too hard to be passed out. Increasing fluid intake will definitely soften the stool, and taking in more dietary fiber will promote a finer means of eliminating the stool. By keeping a soft and manageable elimination manner, pressure on the hemorrhoids due to constipation may be avoided.
Surgery. In very severe cases, surgical interventions may be necessary in order to sever the hemorrhoids and prevent the tissues from dying and affecting the adjacent areas. This procedure is referred to as hemorrhoidectomy. This is a procedure which will be performed via regional anesthesia and will require the patient to be confined for several days succeeding the procedure.
Hemorrhoids can be very disheartening and getting treatments for hemorrhoids the earliest period possible can lead to effective and timely recovery from the said condition. Do not be embarrassed in discussing this condition with a physician because definitely, this will be kept in the strictest confidence. Now you can live a healthy and pain-free life!
