    WSJ.com's Gorgeous Redesign [view article]
    It's a little jarring when you write ten or fifteen pieces talking about the end of the world and then this one about WSJ's lovely new website design ... Reply

    WSJ.com's Gorgeous Redesign [view article]
    Well, good buddy, I frequently read your stuff, but the more the journal tries to be all things to all people the more it reminds me of USA Today. Getting to the really useful stuff is like a treasure hunt. I have subscribed to the Journal for over 30 years (recently only the Online Journal) , but the recent changes even sent me to the IBD website to check it out for the first time in years. Different strokes for different folks. Keep up the good work. Reply

    Nice article. We sell schools, libraries, parents and even students audiobooks and software such as Musical Instruments. High prices are really annoying these buyers so many are looking for lower prices such as ours. Dollar Tree, for example, has a whole "Teachers" area--that parents, students, and libraries shop, in addition to teachers. The textbook people need a new paradigm or will wither away. Certainly poor investments--trying to catch a falling knife. Reply

    How Badly Will a Recession Hit Online Advertising? [view article]
    Even though we're not in a recession, the recession we're in will be short?

    Love that I can discount so many organizations at once as not knowing economics 101 from a single paragraph.

    Another high dividend company to add to that list would be HRP. HRP has a forward and trailing yield of about 11.5% with a PE ratio of about 6.7. The dividend has consistently been paid every quarter for the last 20 years. Our full recommendation on HRP can be found here: investingpennies.com/i... Reply

    How the FT Is Losing the Financial Opinion Wars [view article]
    Thanks! Very interesting read!

    I dropped my online subscription to WSJ when Murdoch bought it out and I saw the outstanding journalistic coverage of the Journal slipping into flashgirlytown like many of Murdoch's media enterprises.

    I now subscribe to FT and am lost in its discussion of UK and European stocks and businesses but I think FT introduces me into a totally new world of financial understanding and broadens my narrow, parochially American views of the world.

    I think their coverage of political and other news, my primary reasons for subscribing, is outstanding and gives me information that is unavailable in an American media dominated by the trivialities of the Murdoch media empire.

    You forgot CSE, it pays a damn fine dividend every 6 months. And then again 3 months later :)

    And one of my favourites that really pays twice a year: PAC. Very cheap recently.

    10 Highest Yielding Semi-Annual Dividend Payers [view article]
    Just bought half a position in CPL this AM.. Expect it to drop a bit more the next time the market turns down... It's a good story.... However, the others bother me a bit.... Several of them are financials, and although they are not US banks, the UK shows signs of that aggravating mange that we just went through...

    Also, there are plenty of other dividend payers that not only pay higher, but are in hotter sectors .. Oil and Gas and Shipping .. Off the top of my head DRYS, FRO, HTE (which I wouldn't buy... ) PGH, ... Thx jegan ;-)

    A fine list. It covers a selection on sectors and should be a nice complement to a well-diversified "income" portfolio.

    One interesting point also is that based on the US-UK Tax treaty, no witholding tax (on dividends) is made at the UK side.

    Like The Street, MarketWatch had a bad redesign, too -- certainly cost them a lot of my (former) page views. Reply

    Speaking of media - is there any way possible to get Chris Regan and Dennis Kneale fired. Without the Fox station from my cable provider, I have to switch to Bloomburg from 11:00 TO 2:00. For what its worth I'm also thinking of cancelling my RealMoney subscription - I fund myself at SeekingAlpha more frequently. Reply

    The decline in TSCM's traffic is understandable: they launched a redesign which hasn't worked, and as a result they've lost a lot of traffic.

    But does anyone know why MarketWatch should have lost so much traffic? Dow Jones/NWS gets lots of positive press on the growth in WSJ.com, but according to these numbers they've lost significantly more from MarketWatch than they've gained from WSJ.com.
