      11 Top Canadian Dividend Stocks Available as ADRs
      I own CNQ, but at a .44% dividend, I'd hardly classify it as "high yield". Yes, it has raised it's dividend for 7 years, but from a very small base...it has a long way to go until "high yield" territory.

      NBC Refuses Pickens Plan Ad
      jcordes, isn't it amazing when the shoe is on the other foot! When the Democrats stall things in a "Republican" Congress ( including drilling, refineries, nuclear, etc., , the Congress is deemed "do nothing"; when it happens the other way around, it's "gridlock" from those bad old Republicans.

      Dontcha just love double standards!?!

      How the Credit Crisis is Spreading from Wall St. to Main St.
      Just yesterday, as I left my local bank, the manger stopped me in the parking lot, almost begging for "new money" deposits...not so he could make new loans, but in order to help shore up his regional mega-bank's balance sheet.

      Bank of America Buyback Announcement: Who Cares?
      Oh! And to answer your question of "who cares"...well, the market obviously does, since BAC has almost doubled from it's lows in less than 10 days.

      Bank of America Buyback Announcement: Who Cares?
      What do YOU do when the facts/business environment changes? BAC sent a confidence building message to the market in what are the most troubled financial sector times I've seen. To judge them using an old buy-back yardstick is nonsense! The market looks forward, not backward, as you guys so often do.

      Bespoke continues to underwhelm me with their veneer-thin "analysis". Having read many of your articles, let's just call what you do the printing of sound-bite "facts" and statistics....which are rarely really thought through and lead to a conclusion of "....and therefore, an investor should do X "

      Bush's New Drilling Proposal: Fixing a Hole
      "...New drilling might help, but not for at least ten years; and by then, demand will likely have overtaken supply by an even wider margin...."

      What an amazing bit of logic- because something can't help short term, do nothing!! That is the exact same logic used 10 years ago that helped get us right where we are today. Amazingly short-sighted...and now we are paying for those decades of always doing nothing, because it won't help "right now". Seriously stupid policy, IMHO.

      Investors Intelligence Bullish Readings
      IMHO, 6+ years is way too short a period of time to attempt to draw this sort of correlation.

      Costco, Wal-Mart Lead a Consumer Revolution
      This sort of thing ( consumers downgrading when times/inflation are tough ) has happened many times before. While you present some interesting data, I wouldn't characterize these trends as a "Revolution"... like a cycle.

      What absolutely useless information! If this is your stock in trade ( useless statistics for the sake of sound bite headlines ), you won't last very long.

      Yawn....so what?!?

      Write about something more substantial, or just ignore the impulse to write. This article is absolutely useless.

      Financials Give Up Most of Bull Market Gains
      I'm with CloroxCowboy on this one...all you do is present statistics with no conclusion or analysis. In fact, having read a number of your articles over the past few days, the same pattern occurs in almost all of them.

      Bottom line: If you don't bring anything to the table, I ( and probably many others ) will simply put you on the "ignore " list.
