    Who cares? These corporate fat cats are only in business to keep their shareholders happy. The employees are treated like numbers who can be deleted at any time. Reply

    Will, Murdoch maybe, but someone ought to run the paper. Even its liberal bent is not consistent. One wonders if there is some kind of internal torment tearing the paper apart. The might be economies of scale to joint operations with the WSJ, but the WSJ has become its own version of death warmed over. The FT seems to be replacing the Journal on just plain old fashioned covered and commentary. Once the decline starts, it just cascades to hell. Reply

    It's nice to see Coke buying in China - Coke has long been a truly international company which happens to have its headquarters in Atlanta. For the rest of it (like the Lehman auction), we continue to sell ourselves to cover our $60 billion per month deficit. Closing that gap should be the primary economic issue for our presidential candidates, not who can give the biggest tax cuts to the most people. Reply

    [Watched Murdoch]"...fanta... about the staff's quitting en masse as soon as he entered the sacred temple."

    I don't think that anyone could think that Rupert's dreams about the NYT could have anything to do with money. This is only about ego and his hopes of destroying a paper that expresses things that differ from his perception of the world as "it should be."

    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)

    Get True Religion - Cramer's Lightning Round (7/22/08) [view article]
    More than a year ago Cramer said he liked Odland at ODP, but he would still choose Staples stock over Office Depot. He got that one right. Reply
