Deficit Spending: The Emperor's Children Also Have No Clothes

here in Italy (i'm italian) this has been the situation for the last....say 30-40years ...and we are still alive...but our best "brains" are already gone abroad to better jobs and pays....and they do so every day...at least the ones that have "courage" to do it

Why Is Congress Agnostic About Natural Gas?

i'm in Italy and i have a NG gas car , (it was a regular gas car but i have it transformed , still can use the regular gas tank)
i'm more than happy about how much i've saved on gas .
here we are using a lot of this cars
anyway the 3 tanks in the back of the car (each at 3000psi pressure, same a scubadiving tank) are quite heavy and i hope i will not have any car accident ,in that case if the tanks will get really damaged i guess i will be in BIG trouble...more than if i have jus regular gas
so now i drive more carefully

Are REITs and Utilities Good Dividend Investments?

Hi and thanks , like always, for your articles
why TEG did not pass the test ? you wrote :

"Integrys Energy Group, Inc. (TEG) – 3 Stars
Debt to Total Capital: 18%
Free Cash Flow Payout: -47%
I look for a maximum of 45% Debt to Total Capital and a maximum of 60% Free Cash Flow Payout"

is seems to me much better than NNN , or i'm missing somenthing ?
do you think the TEG's dividend is at risk ?
please explain , thanks a lot indeed
Alberto (long on TEG )

Making Natural Gas Transportation a Reality

i forgot ..
my car is a 1999 mitsubishi transformed to bi fuel (LANDI kit) , but FIAT , here in Italy , is selling natural gas cars "from the factory" like crazy , from small city car (panda) to minivan (multipla) ...maybe the FIAT-CHRYSLER deal will promote more of ng cars (i whis i had bought fiat at 3.9€ , now is like 8€ :-( )

Making Natural Gas Transportation a Reality

hallo
i'm in Italy and i drive a bi-fuel (gasoline and natural gas) car ;
because here gasoline is like 6 US$ a gallon (!) , with ng i spend 55% less when refueling my car (and here in Italy we import ALL the nat gas)

Top Dividend Yields of the Dow Jones Industrial Average

hallo , nice article but...
I really don't understand why BAC is still considered/write-about like a dividend stock !
for what i know , and this is the reason because I "trashed" the stock , the next BAC dividend will be (if not cancelled totally) just 1 cent x share !
And what about PFE that declared tu cut in half the next dividend following the "wyhet-deal" ??
Am I wrong ? comment ?
