Dividend Stocks Showing You The Money

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:55:49 GMT

After a slow week for dividend increases last week, eleven companies with strong balance sheets showed enough confidence in their ability to generate sufficient cash flows to substantiate dividend raises. Despite the tough economic conditions the USA is experiencing, these companies still managed to defy the odds and[More...]

General vs Limited Partners in MLP's

Wed, 20 May 2009 13:40:00 GMT

There are two types of partners in a Master Limited Partnership structure, a general partner and limited partners. The general partner manages the master limited partnership and typically holds a 2% economic interest in it.

Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) – An Island Of Stability For Dividend Investors

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:23:00 GMT

Master Limited Partnerships are limited by US Code to only apply to enterprises that engage in certain businesses, mostly pertaining to the use of natural resources, such as petroleum and natural gas extraction and transportation. They combine the tax advantages of a partnership and higher dividend yields with the day to day tradability of common stocks.MLPs consist of a general partner who manages the operations and limited partners who own the rest of the units for the partnership. Unlike corporations MLPs are not subject to double taxation.Their stocks are called units, while their dividends are called distributions. The units are very easy to buy and sell, as they trade just like any[More...]

Stocks Resume Selloff As Distribution Day Rattles Investors Who Bought Last Weeks LAME Rally

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:33:00 GMT

Do people not pay attention to volume at all? I am starting to begin they don’t after listening to all the typical talking loud-mouths this weekend. They all clamored and were happy the indexes were up 15% to 20% last week. Yet not a single person anywhere mentioned that volume was lower and lower each day as the rally went along. They also did not mention that we were right near/at the 50 day moving averages which are in a downtrend on all the indexes. Leaving these two key facts out made anything they said irrelevant. There was always a possibility of waking up and seeing a market running away today but the truth is this market is predictable yet insanely impossible to trade unless you are a daytrader. After my initial short positions before the selloff really started, things have been harder to manage as shorts are not going down in a smooth line like they should in a bear market. This is making for a very difficult trading environment and why unless[More...]

MLPs: A Trio Of High Yield Favorites

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:33:00 GMT

"Commodity stocks may not look like safe havens right now but one sector that that you should consider is master limited partnerships (MLPs) that hold pipeline assets throughout the United States," explains Glenn Rogers. The contributing editor to Gordon Pape's Internet Wealth Builder looks at three favorite pipeline operations, each offering a high yield and capital appreciation potential. Here's his pipeline trio. "One of the largest MKPs is Kinder Morgan Energy[More...]

Stocks Continue The Selloff With Volume Finally Picking Up On The Selling

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Today can be called nothing other than nasty as most of the indexes made round trips back to either six-year or eleven-year lows, following a nasty selloff that came on very heavy volume. Volume picked up on every exchange as finally some signs of panic selling hit the market. This selling took the markets off around 5% to 6% and a lot of stocks were just walloped. Now while I have continued to talk about the nasty downtrend this market is in and how well my shorts have been doing: top short holdings and total returns: IPHS 44% POT 65% GGB 72% SBAC 66% CYT 69% MOS 74% CETV 89% CPRT 28% AZO 24% RDK 17% AMX 49% PLCE 38% CAJ 34% SPG 52% CEO 51% AAPL 50% ENB 24% K 18% ARB 67% AMSG 20% SPW 77% RIMM 58% LLL 37% CEDC 65% APD 55% OKE 46% SDA 80% TITN 59% PAA 28%). I don’t believe I have seen the market in such a bleak condition in a long time and think I need to tell you about the lack of bullish items out there. To start it all off only 3% of[More...]

The Recent Rally Attempt Is Dead As Three Of Four Major Stock Market Indexes Make New 52-Week Lows

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 04:53:00 GMT

It was a brutal day if you were a falling knife catcher as the market took those impatient bulls who believed the lows were in out and beat them silly with a 6.5% loss on the Nasdaq, a 6.6% loss on the NYSE, and a 6.1% loss on the SP 500. The losses were made even more damaging by the fact that they hit new lows from the recent rally attempt and volume picked up giving the market a very heavy distribution day. This distribution day adds to the pressure the market is facing as each and every day passes. The market in terms of the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100 are now down over 51% from the October 2007 highs. These losses have been extremely damaging to the psychology of many market players and has done some major damage to individuals portfolios. This sad news is made even more sad knowing that the market does not appear to be near a low–at least as far as the market is currently concerned. This is obvious to me via the volume that is coming[More...]

Stock Market Indexes Start The Week Off With A Low Volume Selloff; All Indexes Are Holding Thursday’s Lows

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 01:09:00 GMT

Stocks did what they have been doing for the entire past thirteen months and that was finishing with a lower close. This weak close was made worse in that it was yet another volatile late day move. This time it was a rollover to the downside with the indexes finishing right near their lows-of-the-day. This very weak close was very nasty to see but some consolation can be taken with the low volume that came with the selling. That lower volume was the second straight day of a lower volume pullback that has come since the reset of the rally attempt on Thursday. On Thursday the market dipped to new lows on a few indexes that reset the previous rally attempt. However, by the close, the market reversed to a very bullish close on much higher volume. That put market players who have been watching this selling for thirteen months now in a better mood. The pullback the past two days have made some pretty upset that the market[More...]

Another Day, Another Selloff; Higher Volume On The Selloff Indicates Fear Is Rising

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:25:00 GMT

It was yet another day of huge losses for the stock market as most indexes are now down over 45% for the year. This kind of market action is enough to make a lot of people sick. But that is the last thing you want to do here, especially with the selloff starting to slightly hit panic levels. Now, I am not saying that we are near a bottom what-so-ever. But what I am saying is that we are getting a little crazy with the selling and that should lead to a rally in the near term. However, before that rally occurs, I expect that we will more than likely set new lows on all the indexes. One of the reasons I believe that is possible is because after today’s session I saw that ZERO stocks on the NYSE or Nasdaq hit new 52-week highs, while over 415 stocks on each index hit new 52-week lows. This number of new lows expanding along with the non-numbers in the new highs is my warning that the market is not done with the selloff, even though it has[More...]
