    There is simply no scientific basis for this. Not only do virtually all studies demonstrate little to no correlation of cell phone use to cancer, it scientifically doesn't even make sense.

    If non-ionizing RF energy is dangerous, why are we not also warning people to stay away from WiFi, cell towers, radio towers, and tractor trailers (via their communication systems) ? All of these sources put out far more RF energy than a cell phone does. And it's not like it's a different "kind" of energy, some of them are in virtually the same frequency bands as CDMA and GSM. I love how this scientist when pushed says "well...better safe than sorry." Seriously? Do you know how many things we should get rid of if that's our criteria?

    It is amazing when the lender and buyer of last resort ... the FEDERAL GOV'T OF THE UNITED STATES ... decides to begin buying equities, i.e., FNM, FRE, etc. We are going to look back on this time a era of extremely bad judgement. How can BAC and C show stuning performance when they announced huge losses?? Just boggles the mind. Reply

    Income is fine. But has the market priced in the possibility of an Obamba presidency, where dividends would be taxed much higher than they are today?

    If not would any strictly dividend play not be a risky play over the next couple of months, at least until we find out which bum will have Air Force One for the next four years?     Reply

    Another ETF is the S&P Dividend Aristocrats, consisting of companies that have consistently raised their dividends. I read about it in an article written by an S&P advisor. But the S&P website only has an 8-digit symbol (which doesn't work) and S&P in New York did not know what the regular symbol is. If anyone does, please add it to comments. Reply

    With inflation for this year predicted in the low 4% range you need at least 5 1/2% to break even after taxes. Of course a Roth Ira could get by on 5%. Reply

    Great article, it was very informative. If you check out www.etfmarketpro.com/h... you can see three more high-yield ETFs that you did not mention. Thanks! Reply

    Comparing the telcoms to the tobacco industry has me scratching my head in confusion. The uses for cell phones are many and obvious where nobody needs a cigarett. Cigaretts can't call the police or roadside help and you can't locate family/friends with one. Tobacco companies spent years denying the facts and trying to confuse everyone by claiming there was no link between smoking and cancer, heart disease, etc. when it was plain that there was. I can see where people may limit cell phone usage but probably everyone who has a cell phone now will continue to at least carry one about. That means they'll still have active accounts with the telecoms and still be paying for them. With decreased use, however, the telecoms will find themselves not having to build out their networks as fast as they are now. I don't mean to make light of people's misfortunes but I don't foresee a catastrophe to telecoms bottom lines that you do. Reply

    Well, what's the LEVEL of risk? Is it comparable to smoking or more like eating peanut butter (aflotoxin exposure)? Reply

    You should have consulted your Horoscope before making changes in your investment strategy. It might have been more accurate than using a baseless Chicken Little memo. Better sell off the stocks of companies that make microwave ovens while you're at it. Reply

    Investing in Dividend Paying Companies [view article]
    Interesting analysis. I would also like to know how you would have faired if you reinvested the dividends. Also if the analysis can distinguish between companies that raise the dividends consistently and the ones that do not. Reply

    Good idea, after going trough some gut wrenching twists and turns. As an income investor I have started doing this same thing and have added already some of the mentioned stocks and will be moving more money toward this type. Heck, even my investment grade preferreds have been extremely volatile. Reply
