    • Chevron Corporation: Dividend Stock Analysis [view article]
      CVX and XOM just don't pay enough. I prefer something over 5% and there are lots of big name companies that pay that and much more.

      Why get excited about <3%?       Oct 02 12:24 PM

      You guys just slay me. Why is it that in one article a financial commentator will be whooping about a company have a "fantastic dividend of 0.9%" and in another one, like this one, you'll be castigating another company for not "committed to paying stable dividend payments".

      2008 Dividends varying between 15% and 9%? Please, give me insta bility!

      Regards the White House, What is the international symbol for “No Morons”?

      I say we add a box to the ballot, "None of the Above". It would cost the country billions to hold another (several?) election, but what has the last eight years cost?? Trillions!!, over 4100 of our finest young men and women and lifelong suffering for 30,000 more.

      Congrats "W".       Jul 11 10:50 AM
    • RBC Analyst: Low Uranium Prices Could Turn Away Investors [view article]
      So what. Nuclear power in the US is dead. They say that, even if it was begun today, it would be more than 20 years before an new Nuclear power plant even began startup procedures.

      The tree huggers and the NIMBY's have made nuclear power an impossibility in this country. Let's just not even talk about it and get on with the development of Wind power, Solar, Cellulose ethanol and fuel cell technology.

      This talk of nuclear power is just obscuring what is really important.       Jun 19 11:27 AM
    • Oil Will Peak at $150-200 - Barron's Interview [view article]
      bearfund: I agree with much of what you say but, considering nuclear power, we are done with that in this country. France has done very well with it but after the debacle with WPPS (Washington Public Power System) in the 70's, nuclear is dead in this country. Because of the tree huggers and NIMBY's there is no way that this nation will ever produce a cost effective nuclear power plant any time soon.
      There is more vacant, potentially available land in the west and southwest that could be available to produce solar power, both PV and Thermal, than we could use. All we have to do is start the build out and stop trying to make fuel out of Corn. We're wasting our time on the Bush Boondoggle and costing ourselves years of delay at the same time. Let's get to work on cellulose ethanol.

      We need to figure out the most efficient and "possible" fuel for each application. We can drive our cars on electricity, unless we're driving cross country. We can heat our homes with electricty and natural gas. We can cook our food with natural gas or electricity. BUT, we probably can't fly from LA to anywhere with electricty or natural gas (well, maybe natural gas, I don't know. I've never heard of trying to run natural gas in a jet engine). We will need Kerosine or ethanol or some other fuel to run jet engines.

      We need a lot of electricty to make steel and Aluminum. We also need a lot of metalergical coal to make steel and so we will need a way to capture the CO2 and put it away somewhere or make something out of it. There must be a way that doesn't cost more that we save.

      The point is that there is not one solution to all of our energy needs, and oil will certainly be one of them for a long time to come. But the first thing we need is a rational energy plan with the goal of weening ourselves off of foriegn oil. A plan similar to the one JFK proposed back in '61 that got us to the moon. It has to be total dedication to that goal. No more head in the sand, bite the bullet, get everyone involved. If we do this we will become the greatest, richest nation in the world because we will be able to control our own destiny and to sell the technolgy developed to the world.

      If we don't we may all descend into anarchy.

    • Baytex Energy Raises Cash Distribution; Stock Jumps [view article]
      I prefer longevity. Try ERF, currently paying 10.5% and having a record of paying dividends since '01. There are lots of excellent plays among the Canadian Oil Trusts.

      Can you imagine where you would be today if you had traded you .com losers in '01 and invested in ERF?       Jun 06 08:45 PM
    • Uranium: Red Hot Yellow Cake [view article]
      Does anyone remember WPPS, the Washington Public Power System?They went broke back in the 70's due to over regulation and the anti nuc lobby. Also look and the Nuclear Depository. Think about that very good advice "When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing is to stop digging".
      With the problems of disposal and current mind set about nuclear power I don't see it ever being a viable power source in the US. The last two days I spent driving across North Dakota on I-94 and I think we must have seen at least 5 wind turbines, all privately owned by farmers. This as I was pulling a small travel trailer and getting 8 mpg with my deisel pickup while heading into a 35 mph headwind.

      The answer is all around us, wind, solar, what else do we need?       May 25 07:07 AM
    • Day Rates Headed Higher at Nordic American Tanker [view article]
      I have owned NAT for about 3 years and, for the dividend investor, they are wonderful. Their policy is to pay out 90% of their earnings as dividends. Look at their historic chart, clear back to 1997 and you will see that they have a marvelous record. I wish I had found they then, I'd be sailing around on my yacht now.

      Last year they spot market dropped from about $45K/day down to around $25K and their dividend dropped to around $.40 for two qtrs. Everyone got all excited and dumped them but now that the spot market is back, they are the darling that everyone has just discovered.       May 21 08:28 AM
    • San Juan Basin Royalty Trust: Earnings Estimates Are Too Low [view article]
      I prefer to check the long chart when choosing these trusts. I'm also looking for consistancy. SJT is amazing (but certainly not the only one) Can you imagine owning a $10 stock in 2002, during the depths of the Dot-Com implosion and getting a 19% dividend paid MONTHLY. This stock started 2002 at $8.95 and ended at $13, a 33% gain. Now, of course it is selling for a reasonable 16 times earnings, forward PE of 11.60.

      Now that is value. Forget the likes of TELOZ which pays a QUARTLY dividend intermittantly and is subject to the annual hurrican seasons.       May 13 11:17 AM
