British Petroleum Moves into Arkansas with Chesapeake Energy Shale Purchase [view article]
Gee, does that mean the U.S. has TOO MUCH NG? Why, that's going to be TERRIBLE for consumers and our economy, especially once it gains a foothold as a replacement for oil as a transportation fuel. ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
Can airliners run on natural gas, and or fuel cells? ReplyAttractively Valued International Dividend Stocks [view article]
couldashoulda,Yeah, that's usually the case...a high yield results (at least in large part) from a falling price. The "trick" is trying to figure out whether the falling price is due to the "baby being thrown out with the bathwater"...(sto... in a sector thats being hammered), or whether there are serious problems with company. Also, are the problems only a quarter, or two of setback, or is the business model really "broken"?
The only way to tell is by crunching the numbers.....and DS might read 'em one way.....you or I might read them another....sorry, no "free lunch", :-) Reply

Why is it that analysts never ask the question, "Will this make any money?" Why is it assume that if a big company like BP thinks this is a good idea, it must be a good idea. Has anyone ever been to a party late? There's not much opportunity there, just cost.Why do you think that Chesapeake is selling everything in sight? Because shale gas makes no economic sense whatsoever at less that $9.00/MMBtu wellhead price (for all the analyst types that no nothing about the oil and gas business, that means after transportation and processing costs, often $1.50/MMBtu).
Shale.com is the biggest scam since Subprime.com. When the music stops (as it has in the Barnett Shale), only the shareholder will lose...again. Reply

DSThanks for the fine analysis. One worry --- Some of these have a high(er) Div yield because the stock has dropped significantly over the past x months. Is there anywhere someone might have insight on this potential problem other than doing the homework you identify.
I'm lazy. Thanks again Reply

Arturo,Actually BLX didn't make the cut because of its erratic dividend history, it wasn't included in the Mergent's International Dividend Achievers list. Reply

Top Foreign Dividend Stocks Traded in New York [view article]
Similar comment on BCS as Menachem Ben Yakov's comment on Lloyds TSB. Per Yahoo Finance, BCS has paid dividends of $1.755 and $0.895 during the 12 months preceeding its 8/29/08 close of $25.70. Assuming my data and math are correct, that produces a dividend of 10.31%. ReplyTop Foreign Dividend Stocks Traded in New York [view article]
Yields net of tax would be useful for non-US stocks, as tax rates on non-US stocks vary quite substantially. ReplyTop Foreign Dividend Stocks Traded in New York [view article]
May I suggest that you include in your screen some consideration of payout ratio dividend growth? Replyfor you

Sep 01 04:37 PMuser211108 - i read the nyt aricle you mentioned. Basically, it just lists the roadblocks people keep thowing in the way of getting the right things done.As I have said in other blogs, the grid needs to be beefed up and expanded, and also provide for solar and wind hook-up. And I grossly stated that high power transmission lines are probably within 25-50 miles of any future installation.
Take a look at where all the hydro installations are (Grand Coulee Dam in the middle of nowhere is the equivalent of 8 (eight) 1000 MWe nuc plants. No look at the rest of the hydro locations west/midwest/southeast... etc. As for nucs; we have over 100 1000 MWe plants scattered around the US - few states without - most state are less than 200 mi in one direction or another. Then there is the coal - everywhere??
So, the grid problem is just a bunch of roadblocks (policy/politics/regul... - we have the technology and wherewithall to improve it and expand it immediately. Report abuse

Sep 01 09:20 PMYou know, in the NYTimes article, a FERC member member is quoted saying we need an "INTERSTATE TRANSMISSION SUPERHIGHWAY SYSTEM" - he is so right.
And where they should run that grid is alongside/between/abov... the US Interstate hiway system that exists. And then, put the electrified ferries on steel-wheeled rails in the same space. Then we simply take the cargo off the diesel (biodiesel hybrid) trucks and ferry it electrically powered by solar and wind - that's a good role for solar and wind.
Centainly takes the wind out of the sails of the contras that continually talk about balancing the grid.
This idea solves two if not three problems at the same time. Since the Gov't steamrolled for the interstate highway system, let them steamroll for electrifying it. Simple. The right of way is there. Who's going to argure?. Yes, I know, someone will.
And what's the distance between interstate hiways? Do they go thru wind mill and solar land, and do they eventually move right into cities, and go thru where all the people are. DUH??
I hope someone in FERC reads this.
Help out, guys. I'm like solarPV on a native hut, with a microwave, color TV, cell phone, but connected to no one.

Sep 01 09:27 PMOh yes, and wireless internet!
But I'm as helpless as all the steers running around me and that just reminds me of Washington DC every time I look at them and feed them. And what do I get in return - about the same stuff - let me help you city folks, it's hot, wet, sort of like putty, and smells like shit. If it looks like, smells like, feels like, it probably is.........yup!
Happy Memorial Day to all the Vets and all those enjoying the freedom they have provided in the US and worldwide - regardless of the naysayers. Reply

PA Governor Ed Rendell has been promoting coal to diesel conversion for a couple of years and has gotten nowhere with the idea.There are literally miles upon miles of "mountains" of coal culm in PA that are unsightly, which would disappear if coal to diesel conversion could somehow "get off the ground".
China can use all the coal we can export to them, but they are "hell-bent" to develop the new tech "small" nuclear plants that can be readily installed in their myriad of towns.
I heard about the new nuclear technology while visiting Knoxville, Tn this past Spring, but haven't seen any "press" about its safety and cost-effectiveness. For some reason (conspiracy??), it is under the medias' radar!?
Guess we must contact the U. of Tenn - Knoxville for info. That is the source of this leading-edge technology. Reply
