Year to Date Performance of Dow 30 Members [view article]
Any votes for the stocks which have lost over 15% but don't deserve the punishment? I vote American Express and Pfizer. Pfizer's pipeline may look dry, but they have the financial clout to partner anyone with a hot drug, or to buy them outright. American Express' problems are overstated, I think.

Re Nurseb911's comment, in addition to Pfizer and GE, I would also pick Bank of America among the high yielding stocks. In addition, I'd pick JP Morgan Chase. I believe both banks have reasonably strong balance sheets and are well positioned to pick up market share. ReplyDow 'Dirty Dozen' Offers High Yields and Good Value [view article]
Yawn. You guys will be here in another 6 months predicting the "inevitable" cut in Bank of America's dividend. Meanwhile, I'll continue to collect $0.64 per share every three months.Thanks for the laughs. Reply

PFE & GE would be my top picks from that group. I would not count on GM being a "yield" investment for quite some time due in part to the risks they face on many fronts. Chronic mismanagement vs. yield? I'll avoid that stocks as a value trap despite the upside many analysts and investors continue to see in that company ReplyVerizon's Anti-iPhone PR Campaign [view article]
I am not an iPhone owner yet. I do plan to buy it, sometime in a future when I see it works as good as it should. For now I visit Apple store to check up how it works (if it works). The anecdotal situation happened today. I went to the Apple store (Albany, NY), played with their 3G phones trying to accomplish very simple task: being connected to the 3G network to visit apple.com site on the phone’s Safari browser. 3G signal shows full strength, all bars are displayed. I can visit google.com. But apple.com (as well as some other random sites) – is impossible to visit. The salesperson asks me if I have any questions (I am in the store by that time for about 25-30 minutes). So I say that the only question I have is how come none of the 3G phones are unable to visit apple.com and other sites and I am trying for half an hour? He takes the phone, tries to change some settings. No success. He takes his personal iPhone out of his pocket and goes to apple.com successfully. Shows me proudly the screen and reports that he could do it. I point out to him that his phone is displaying EDGE indicator. I am asking him about the 3G network. All phones on the display show full 3G signal strength but still none could connect to anything other than google. He could only say that “they” probably doing some maintenance. I did not even bother to dive into the topic about who “they”. Very, very disappointing. ReplyDow 'Dirty Dozen' Offers High Yields and Good Value [view article]
So what is ? ReplyDow 'Dirty Dozen' Offers High Yields and Good Value [view article]
Actually, dividends are NOT the first thing to be cut, which is the problem. But they almost inevitably will be cut, after trapping an entire class of yield-chasing investors. You have to decide if you trust management when they deny a dividend cut is in the cards. ReplyWendling

Remember the most important point of high yielding stocks. Dividends are the first thing to be cut in troubled times for the markets. Look at GM, C, WB and others for example, all of whom slashed or eliminated their dividends. All these issues are being manipulated.For more information click on my web link and read how it is done.

AT&T service is horrible, you can't mask that with a great phone. ReplyVerizon's Anti-iPhone PR Campaign [view article]
Was anyone else experiencing trouble with Verizon's service yesterday? It went out for a good amount of time yesterday, but I don't know what the range was. I heard people calling up on the radio to say it would be down, but I dont know what county's or state's this was limited too. ReplyGoogle Wins the Verizon Wireless Sweepstakes [view article]
VZ defintley needs Google at this point. It's the kind of innovation and freshness the company needs. It will create the kind of buzz they need to compete with the AT&T/Apple alliance. ReplyVerizon's Anti-iPhone PR Campaign [view article]
Verizon should worry about themselves, their EVDO is a mess at times. Calls all ok but data drops at times are every 15 minutes. Consistenly good some days, consistently bad others. And coverage outside major metros is non-existent, at least in the upper midwest. ReplyVerizon's Anti-iPhone PR Campaign [view article]
@Rob L. I have had one of the original (Edge) iPhones for over a year now, and lately in Manhattan the Edge service has deteriorated to what you describe it. It wasn't like that over the past year though -- most of the time Edge was surprisingly fast.I have a feeling that AT&T's data network in NYC is absolutely overwhelmed right now -- 3G, Edge, doesn't matter. They really, really need to upgrade their infrastructure, especially in major cities. Reply

Verizon's campaign seems to indicate that they are feeling the impact of iPhone and AT&T. While the iPhone/AT&T combo is not flawless (3G drops, 3G/fetch battery life, app instability bug), Verizon still has no handset that competes. ReplyVerizon's Anti-iPhone PR Campaign [view article]
I agree with Rob L. It's definitely more of an AT&T problem. I get bad reception probably half the time I talk on the phone whether it's on my wife's phone or mine. Reply
