Don't Obsess About Dividends

Thu, 23/12/2010 - 07:03 by Dan Caplinger

 

With interest rates on bonds, bank CDs, and other low-risk investments at extremely low levels, investors have really taken to the income potential provided by dividend-paying stocks. But a stock that doesn't pay a dividend isn't automatically a loser. In fact, sometimes, a company that chooses to make other uses of its free cash than returning it to shareholders via dividends is making the smartest move it can with its capital.




Speculative Favorites: The Options Market's Top Gold Picks

Sat, 04/12/2010 - 11:51 by Eben Esterhuizen

 After peaking in early November, gold prices have descended rapidly from recent heights. The gold correction has been so sharp, in fact, as to warrant speculation of another $100 drop in the price of the commodity.

 

Gold or Apple?

Thu, 25/11/2010 - 12:39 by John Reeves

 There are only two types of investors at the moment. On the one hand are the pessimists who worry about deficits, inflation, and the sinister policies of the Fed. These folks see gold as the best, perhaps only, investment now. On the other hand are the sunny optimists. They're confident that America will rebound as always, and they're happy to buy great stocks like Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL). Surely, you can only be in one camp or the other, right?

 

Grains climb Thursday on weak dollar

Fri, 19/11/2010 - 10:38 by Prince damin

Chicago -- Grain futures closed higher on the Chicago Board of Trade Thursday with the dollar's weakness supporting gold, oil and agricultural commodities.

Corn was up 15 3/4 to up 16 1/2, soybeans were up 37 to up 38 1/4, wheat was up 12 3/4 to up 13 1/2 and oats up 8 1/4.

Corn futures rose with the dollar index down 0.65 percent and the U.S. Department of Agriculture weekly Export Sales report showing this week's sales below expectations. Wheat prices rose with Egypt purchasing 175,000 metric tons from U.S. sources. Soybean futures were supported by funds, which returned as net buyers Thursday.

The prices:

Corn: Dec. 5.41 3/4, up 16; Mar 5.55 3/4, up 16 1/2; May 5.62 1/2, up 16 1/4; Jul 5.65 3/4, up 15 3/4.

Why Is the Market So Bullish?

Tue, 09/11/2010 - 12:32 by Nick Kapur

 In the past three months, the S&P 500 has marched up more than 8% -- a substantial, bullish stride. Why?

Is it because the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the recession ended all the way back in June 2009? Hah. Nooo.

 

Gold, oil ignore dollar's rise

Sat, 06/11/2010 - 10:47 by Rakhi

New York -- The U.S. dollar headed higher Friday, but nobody told oil or gold, which defied logic and climbed as well.

Oil prices reached $87.35, flirting with a two-year high, while gold advanced, adding $14.60 to come close to the $1,400 mark, closing at $1,393.90 per troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The dollar index, a pro-rated measure of the greenback against six major currencies, turned higher, rising 0.92 percent, which tends to undermine commodity prices.

Gold, however, found popularity as a hedge against Thursday's surge in equities. Suspecting a downward correction in equities enhances gold's reputation as a safe haven.

One Stock That's Better Than Gold

 My colleagues Tim Hanson and Brian Richards have done their best to scare you about a falling dollar. And with the articles behind headlines like "Get Out Now!" and "Read This Because the Dollar Is Doomed," they've made their point.
