    The Top Dividend Paying ETFs and Stocks [view article]
    for Frank Li, Dividend stocks are a great way to make a
    living especially for those of us who are retired. I have been
    investing in dividend stocks for 52 years and have no regrets.
    I retired at 44 (23 years ago) and make a 6 figure income, which
    is really what you want and need when you retire.

    I do appreciate the commentary from everyone.

    Mr. Carson, I especially appreciate your commentary regarding some dividend paying ETNs. The unique features of some of these ETNs are certainly worth exploring. Thanks again!

    Just buy the S&P 500, this ETN will do no better than the overall index in my opinion Reply

    Rick...Excellent article about ETNs!

    Just to clarify, however, there actually ARE 4 ETN's which currently do(or are planning to) pay dividends. (You had mentioned that "ETNs don't pay dividends, interest or capital gains")

    The four ETNs which pay dividends are GCE (Goldman Sacks-Claymore CEF Index Linked ETN), BSR (BearLinx Alerian MPL Select ETN) ,PGD (Barclays Asian and Gulf Currency Revaluation ETN) and JEM (Barclays GEMS Index ETN).

    GCE invests in a basket of 75 discounted Closed-End Funds following a CEF Index selected by Claymore Securities (claymoresecurities.com). GCE's distribution rate is variable with the past three quarterly dividends being $1.66, $0.28 and $0.64.

    BSR is an energy infrastructure play which invests in fifty Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) which track the "Alerian MPL Select Index" (alerian.com). One unique feature of this ETN is its issuance of a 1099 at year end, rather than the K-1 Partnership tax reports normally associated with individual MLP holdings.

    Both PGD and JEM are currencies bundles pegged, to some extent, to the US Dollar, and were just recently brought to market by Barclays on June 18, 2008. PGD includes currencies of the Saudi Arabian riyal, Hong Kong dollar, United Arab Emirates dirham, Singaporean dollar and the Chinese yuan. The GEM bundle will include currency holdings from 15 Global Emerging Markets (hence the symbol, GEM) in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America an Asia. Both PGD and GEM will distribute interest earned on the locally earned currency deposits on a quarterly basis. The rates are yet to be determined. (ipathetn.com)

    Weak Earnings After Hours - Fast Money Recap (7/21/08) [view article]
    If in fact Jobs is never on the conference call, then what is wrong with the media and the TV commentators? They expand and help spread a rumor that damages the stock when they simply have no facts? The quality of what we get as 'experts' merely demonstrates the folly of trying to fill up hours and hours of cable TV time. In the end we get garbage. Reply

    The earnings briefs are interesting. It would save us all a scratch pad if you ended each such listing with a summary (day and quarter to date) of beat / match / miss. Thanks, though, for this most interesting listing. Reply
