  • 3 Stocks that Could Pay Out Larger Dividends [View article]
    Cynically speaking, perhaps companies that elect not to pay dividends and re-invest in the business they know (theirs) is a better use of money.

    I prefer companies that pay dividends. Take a look at preferreds and capital notes that are paying 7-11 per cent with the underlying issue still rated investment grade. For a quick glance by novice investors, Scottrade has a decent introductory list on their website under bonds and cds. Quantum online is even better.

  • Excellent Stocks When (If) Oil Hits $150 [View article]
    Brookfield has a large chunk of its real estate in the Houston and Calgary areas. WDR' s asset strategy is heavy into energy and materials.

    Obtuse, but that's one reason CSFB is very good in this sector.
