  • Exxon Mobil (XOM) now says 12,500 barrels of oil and water have been recovered from a pipeline that ruptured Friday in Arkansas. Predictably, the spill has turned into political fodder for opponents of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Massachusetts Democrat Ed Markey says the Arkansas spill demonstrates "that transporting large amounts of this corrosive and polluting fuel is a bad deal for American taxpayers." [View news story]
    he's a congressman so unlimited hot air (wind power) is always available.

    It would be great if the energy companies refused to sell or transport any form of energy to the state of Massachusetts. then lets see how their fair citizens react.

  • Skip This Overrated Blue Chip Now [View article]
    I do think GE has competion in engines but they are best of breed.
    I do see Caterpillar in the rail business but again GE is best of breed. GE is paying a dividend better than UTX and CAT and I don't see either besting GE in the next year.
    I own all three stocks in my portfolios.

    I started as a banker from 1962 as a p/t after high
    school classes, to working for various institutions until I finished the Y2K project in 1999.(less 2 years as a army draftee). I retired because of malignant cancer which I did beat. True as I rose through the ranks I could afford to drive but I mainly used public transportation most of my life in NYC metro area. . What I've seen by way of many post is the incorrect opinion that just Cda oil will flow through the keystone pipeline which is incorrect. domestic supply will add to the flow. To some extent people believe oil flows freely around. Not true
    Here is a question for everybody. Can I ship oil by tanker to NYC from Houston or Port Arthur. Now most people will say yes but they would be wrong because the US government regulations state that the oil can be sent inter-city only by US flag ships. One problem we have no US flag tankers. Therefore shipping must be to a foreign port. Some of our domestic oil producers in OK would be able to send their oil to the gulf refineries. I want people to have jobs either construction or long term. We all do better when people are employed.

    you are aware that the author Larry krotz was castigated for that and other articles?
    you also might use google earth to review claims of clear cut.

  • Microsoft Seems On The Verge Of Something Ugly [View article]
    process

    it's in the numbers . MSFT has now according to whats new now
    "If people aren't buying what you are selling, you can either change the product or change price. (No, more advertising is not the answer—unless you are advertising on PCMag.com. Those banners are gold!) Since Microsoft can't very well walk away from Windows 8 at this point, nor should it, it has to look at cutting prices. Microsoft is reportedly slashing the prices of Windows 8 and Office 2013 for OEMs building small form factor tablets and laptops. It isn't a bad idea. Microsoft needs users more than it needs cash at this point"

  • Frontier's 10% Dividend Yield Is Well Covered By Free Cash Flow [View article]
    hackfab

    I bought 200 shs. at 3.92 for my forget portfolio yesterday.
    its in a roth, down side $793 up side 10% plus nice capital gain.
    I also own ATT at 34.94 from oct 2012. My bet that by the end of
    2015 FTR will return a better percentage. if that happens this dog took a bite out of you.

    I have owned GE since 1971 and have seen a lot of good and bad choices by management over the years. Immelt has the worst "batting average" of them all.
