Penn West Cuts Its Dividend, But The Market Is Focused On Big Insider Buying [View article]
There ain't enough lipstick in the world to put on this pig. Letterman & Leno should jump all over this laffer - "This measure will provide Penn West with increased financial flexibility, and a sustainable dividend, as it continues to improve operating performance" Gee - why doesn't everybody do this - sounds like a great strategy - right ???. They HAVE been doing this and it sure ain't paid off yet. I should have sold when the Canadian gov't stuck it to us. But I stayed for the div. My 2nd mistake - at least all you new fish will only lose half as much cash as I have when it continues it's downward spiral as it "continues to improve operating performance."
Penn West (PWE +3.9%) is poised to break up to boost a valuation that's weaker than 99% of its peers, after recently overhauling management, Bloomberg writes. PWE has many high-quality assets, and analysts support separating PWE into two businesses, one focused on assets with growth potential and the other on properties whose predictable production would allow for an attractive dividend.

Let me rephrase my last comment which was deleted as I used a naughty abbreviation referring to this stock as a piece of doodoo. Dividing this would merely allow the management to take it down twice as fast as they have done since I bought it a few years ago. Canadian gov't isn't exactly friendly either.

@zino Doesn't look that bad to me?. SI as of 6-15-13 = not that much different than early May.

Mortgage REIT (REM +4.1%) rallies are accelerating as the day draws to a close. Sector giants Annaly (NLY +4.7%), American Capital Agency (AGNC +4.2%) are closing in on 5% gains, while CYS Investment (CYS +6.2%) and Western Mortgage (WMC +7.1%) are threatening 7%. Did everybody realize all at once that higher long end rates combined with ZIRP should allow mREIT managers to invest at very profitable spreads? [View news story]

SCE been screwing us over for years. Am seeing some big off-grid commercial & gov't installations more often. Of course it's the small individuals who will continue to foot the bill for this bloated monopoly. Look at the recent San Onofre debacle breaking to today.
It's an old joke - nobody here have a sense of humor anymore.? When it crashes and burns perhaps that will be funny? My investments are doing very well - I stay away from things like Apple & Amazon. Mostly just sell puts like FSLR, BAC, etc.
