"then it won't matter if one waits to collect the dividends--bankruptcy, or even worse, nationalization, could wipe out any prospect of ever getting paid."

Okay, so Ford will avoid bankruptcy but don't own the preferreds as they may go bankrupt. Good thing you only have two hands.]]>

.31 X 4= $1.24. Last I looked, GE was $16+/-. 1.24/16=7.75%. A nice dividend, but NOT over 10%. Or should we hold off on our purchase until GE is 12.4 or lower?]]>

2/1/08 buy SWHC at or below 6 and hold for a year. 2/1/08 high/low 4.88/4.66. Current 4.57. High in August 7.77. But we are holding for a year. Not Great

2/27/08 ABK high/low 12.47/11/76. Current 3.48

4/3/08 GTXI 14/15 current 18.83. Not bad, not great.

Anyone got a grain of salt?]]>

"Just speculating...."

A tip off not to take the article too seriously.
