One of the major reasons behind Pfizer's (PFE) interest in acquiring Wyeth (WYE) is the latter's focus on products outside of traditional pharmaceuticals – with 60% of Wyeth's revenue from last year derived from biological therapeutics and vaccines. It remains to be seen what happens to Wyeth's proposed deal to acquire Dutch vaccine maker Crucell (CRXL); however since it is much smaller (around $1B) and focuses on the development of vaccines, Pfizer would likely be interested in both companies[More...]

Dividends Keep Getting Raised Despite Bleak Economic Picture

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:06:00 GMT

Last week marked yet another rollercoaster performance in the stock market, as major indices clocked in yet another weekly loss. Markets rebounded from their lows on Monday as they were reassured by General Electric (GE) that it will maintain its dividend payment in 2009, which boosted the stock by over $2 in one day. Several more dividend stocks rewarded their patient shareholders with a raise in their quarterly payments. Dividends are normally paid out of earnings and are often used to measure a company’s financial condition. Only the companies that are experiencing significant increases in free cash flow will be in a position to provide a growing stream of dividend payments to their stockholders. Enbridge Inc (ENB), which engages in the transportation and distribution of crude oil and natural gas, announced that its Board has approved a 12%[More...]

Staples of the US television landscape such as Sanford and Son (Steptoe and Son), American Idol (Pop Idol), and The Office (The Office) all started life on the British airwaves. It appears as if US policymakers have seized on the idea, re-incarnating the popular UK radio show I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue.[More...]

FMC Provides Ag Fertilizer?

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:00:00 GMT

I’ve been dying to ask the investors who have sold FMC Corp. (FMC: 33.30, 0.00 (0.00%)) in recent weeks a few questions. Since when did FMC Corp. mine phosphate rock to supply to farmers? When did FMC Corp. negotiate international potash prices or supply nitrogen fertilizer to farmers? Never! You wouldn’t know that by last week’s ridiculous sell-off. Merrill Lynch analyst Don Carson downgraded the agricultural commodity sector to “neutral” from “buy” foreseeing difficulties for many companies to perform in a “post-peak environment.” Big name Ag players such as Potash Corp.

Hello Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice! As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisers prior to making any investment decisions based on information on this website.Yesterday with the Dow up 500+ points (on the way to a 900+ point gain), I decided that it might be wise to go "all in" with my investments. That is, after my partial sale of Graham (GHM) at a gain, I had another 'permission slip' to be adding a position. With two positions in my portfolio, my minimum being 5, that meant I could move my holdings up to six positions.These[More...]

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:52:00 GMT

Nov. 23--MANKATO -- The good news about Minnesota unemployment is that the bad news may be ebbing, albeit in fits and starts.
Although joblessness rates are inching downward, economists say hirings will continue to wax and wane before employment returns to pre- recession levels.
