Identifying The Lowest Risk Preferred Stocks [View article]
Doug, I just read your December article. I am definitely in the group that puts convenience (funds instead of rifle shots) way up there with dividend yields. That said, are preferred CEFs safer than preferred ETFs or do both share the same flaws, e.g., too heavy on financials?

Anadarko Petroleum Will Follow Oil Price [View article]
No doubt oil's price in a very large factor. However, I like to look at the exploration stance of management instead of exploitment of older properties. In this regard, I think that Anadarko is the horse to ride, not Apache. Conoco does both, so don't ignore them. They are also a good bet.
This is a good overview of the whole area. Certainly BP, CHK, et al deserved a mention due to sheer size. You even mentioned Rexx, though they are mostly in the gas area. I am interested in the smaller drillers that stand to benefit much more in the oily eastern Ohio area. Example: Gulfport Energy Corp. (GPOR). They hold acreage in Columbiana County and all the way down to Monroe County. If oil is found, they will be in the heart of it.
