Top 10 Payout Yield Stocks
Yep - we've got to agree with you. This article is pretty inferior - useless and not very helpful to investors.
Anybody who has done the least bit of research on investing knows that a high dividend yield isnt necessarily good. Article sounds like a bit of filler to me.
Interesting take was the comment on the 'structural change in the market'. No joke. I'm sure other folks will say that the structural change took place in 1982 and others will say 1987...
What's the point of identifying a year? It is just an arbitrary point in time - and it doesn't even help an investor to know that this 'structural change' has occurred. Especially if it was supposed to have taken place over 20 years ago.

General Cable: Poised for a Good Run
General Cable – BGC
Pros
1. Net Profit Margins have been increasing nicely over last 7 years or so…more efficient?
2. Sales have more than tripled since 2002.
3. Very impressive ROE since 1998 – has averaged 23.9 over those 10 years!
4. Competitive industry but BGC has outlasted many competitors.
5. Good long-term management has led to several key acquisitions over the last few years.
Cons
1. Long-Term Debt has doubled since 2002.
2. Since 2003 shares have appreciated by more than 2000%
3. Shares outstanding has increased by more than 50% since 2000
4. No dividend since 2002.
5. Leader in optic wire and cable products for communications industry…how much do we need? And is this a commodity type business? You bet! Margins will eventually deteriorate.
According to our proprietary valuation method, BGC is roughly 18% overvalued by the market. We really don’t see much of an upside with BGC over the next year it is in a commodity type business and a glut of optic wire and cable products about to hit the market in the near future.

Kimberly-Clark: Absorbing New Markets
1. love that historically high return on equity
2. increasing dividend for last 16 years!!!! Ka-ching
3. historically very profitable -$1b net income each year since 1998
4. great brands like Huggies, Kotex, Depends, Kleenex and Scott . Excellent revenue stream
5. Blue chip all the way!!!!
Cons
1. long-term debt doubled since 1998
2. profit margins decreasing since 1998
3. BV/share increasing at a 3.9% CAGR since 1992. Barely keeps up with inflation.
4. commodity costs will put a strain on margins in near term and for years to come.
5. Only way for company to grow is via M&As - too 'iffy' to count on. Last big M&A activity was Scott Paper in 95.

Options Trader: Friday Outlook - GE Missed!
If it looks, walks, and sounds like a recession, then it probably is.
Logic would dictate that you should then lower EPS expectations of GE, since it is one of the best individual company indicators of how the US economy is performing.
The formula is simple: US economy in recession + a huge industrial/commercial/... company that is considered to be a bellweather company by most, if not all analysts, should be analyzed vis-a-vis the overall economy.
Not to account for that is negligent analysis and pretty poor research.

Oracle Cheaper Than Ever Following Earnings Disappointment
Oh, and its moat is that its horrendously difficult for businesses to migrate from one database application to another. This means Oracle has built in revenue streams for the future.
Combine this issue with the fact that Oracle's databases' are going to become more and more complex in the future - and the fact that these databases will be used even more - and it means that ORCL is a strong buy at this time.
