  • The Most Successful Dividend Investors Of All Time [View article]
    Most investors know the Anne Scheiber story...but she amassed the fortune because stocks were cheap in the 40's and 50's while stocks were rising and splitting, which rarely happens today.
    sans apple, master card google etc...if they split then the common man could buy more than 10 share thus driving the price higher to the next split. There is psyche to buying stocks that split...it has worked well for moi!

  • How To Allow Your Children To Retire Young [View article]
    Love the banter back and forth..but stocks don't split anymore. Not since the 1990's. Current Examples are MCD at $100 APPL at $530; Google, Priceline, Amazon, IMB too. And You need more dividend growth and income. So?
    Also, Are they-corporations- keeping the little guys out? Yes, and maybe the10,000 people a month that turn 65 and retire in America; either are selling or living off the dividend-train income. So what can you buy today and wait 20 yrs on in hopes of funding the college cost for the kids; Facebook-not! OIL and Gold is a good bet!
    I still like T mo rai cop xon pbr scco chy vvr dnp ggn yum for income. Thoughts? And yes, I hate k-1's!

  • The Correction Cometh - And Everything You Need To Know About Why [View article]
    Hello web...
    How many times does the FED have to say:
    "Rates will remain at Zero for an extended period"...or that 'we will do any and everything possible to juice the markets!" Or how about 'we do not see inflation raising yet!"...Or that "we cannot let big banks fail! And that..'we cannot let the Euro union fall apart w/o intervention."
    All this was stated in 2011.
    Anyone who has had family in politics or in the Presidential Cabinet knows of intervention as "manipulation"...or deflection of truth!
    Just enjoy the melt up before the melt down...many of us will be left standing w/o a chair in 2013.

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    JC, this is a journalists opinion and not totallyTrue- or complete fact, based on the NAR site,. Folks go there for more info or consult you tax man.
    There are way too many people creating fear in this country....Do not believe everything you read!
    If one has excess interest, dividends, income, rental income and a home sale in the same year...some will pay taxes to the medicare trust fund...not OBAMACARE. Just buy another property instead.
    Hey, I hate our country politically too but nobody wants real change.
    The POOR will always vote for a Democrat...and will always be poor; go figure.
    I don't know why Ron Paul isn't President yet!

  • John Hussman on the Fake Recovery [View article]
    Ah to be free in America.
    No one asked me if I wanted to buy bankrupt banks or non performing worthless mortgages.
    Did you get the memo?
    This country has been going backwards for so long I can't give my dollars away as tips when I travel anywhere outside the US.
    When May 2011 comes I think many stock holders will sell and run away..For a long time. So where can you put your money to work?
    Stay long until the news(reality) breaks..I guess.

  • Shadow Housing Inventory: The Coming Avalanche? [View article]
    Great work Keith.
    We all know there's a year supply on the market.
    LPS know they have another full years supply on hold. These are Bank owned and agent managed not in REO stats(MLS listed). The taxpayer is fixing up empty housing for the (bleak)housing future.
    The Alt A and option arms coming are large, but the rates are low-for now.
    The problem is non owner occ.s! They will not be able to hang on! There are no comps and FHA is 95% of the mortgage market-and they are NOT accepting non owner occ loans.
    Expect nod's to be as high as 15% before a bottom.
    75m households 55m with loans is almost a 2 yrs supply w/o the shadow inventory.
    With the laws killing landlords and favoring tenants(eviction laws)...we expect a glut of duplexes, condos and multi units to flood...FLOOD the market place. Add in the fsbo's and the next wave of sellers=a 3 yrs supply will put housing down 10-15% in 2011.
    The fact is 50% of America is heading for poverty. Today;50%of households make less than 50K a year and 50% also pay no federal income tax. The top 1% pay 40% of the taxes and earn 70% of all US wages paid.
    The conclusion I have is: either the rich or the govt will be buying housing and be the futures landlords.
    It's a wonderful life for Baily Bank!
    The top 50 inner city metro areas will be known as Pottersville! Change you can count on! Hope your ready!

  • The Crisis in Deeply Underwater Mortgages: The Unemployment Edition [View article]
    Ugmh.Eh
    renting at a loss is not a good option. But, some are subsidizing.
    35% of US mtgs are no equity upside down loans.
    So who wants to buy these 20 million homes or mtgs. Not moi!
    Good luck w refi's. Oh...hamp doesn't work either; 87% fail.
    And so your a buyer of homes....I have plenty to offer via reo or listings-just get ready to lose 20% at the close.

  • Are Dow 1000 and S&P 100 Possible Targets? [View article]
    Ted,
    A great report.
    The Hammer is right on-thanks.
    MC is close too. 600 is in the cards w/in 18 mo.-sooner I think.
    Get your suitcase ready.

    One thing to consider is liability. Each US taxpayer is on the hook for $350k w/ $250K in assets=That is upside down w/no credit coming.

    Your welcome.

  • Are Housing and Banking Signaling a Double Dip? [View article]
    Thanks Richard.
    Your always looking forward, and I see the same problems.
    250 banks should fail for 2010; or at least we are on track for it.
    When the street finally understands the issues w/more than 10% of mtgs going late and the coming 5% nod/foreclosure rate; then the markets will see reality=dow 5000. When?

    Denial, the irrational markets and media will push this back until sometime in 2012-but I think before this fall(2010) we'll get a taste(8500).
