Intro to Treasury Auctions

"surprisingly little play in the blogosphere is one of the few remaining potential disasters: the auction of U.S. debt."

You must be joking. I can't speak for the "blogosphere," but in more general terms it's a red hot topic.

23 High Quality, High Dividend Stocks

"natural gas MLPs (UNG, the natural gas ETF, looks like it’s basing and possibly rebounding), "

Are you implying that the price of NS, a company described as having:

"...attractive crude oil and refined products pipelines and storage businesses. After growing into one of the largest independent liquids storage operators in the world, Nustar recently expanded its reach into the asphalt business..."

is in someway correlated to the performance of UNG which:

"invests in near-month natural gas futures contracts that trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange.?"

There's no correlation whatsoever and no reason why there would be since the one has virtually no bearing on the other.

Potash: Thesis versus Reality Yet Again

Because people have been wrongly anticipating and predicting an upturn over the past three or four quarters doesn't logically imply that this will continue indefinitely as in some silly movie. Some things happen over and over again until they stop.

If anything, the longer the delay in purchasing of fertilizer at expected levels, the greater the need for them will be. Crop yields will still be important and only become more. Some agricultural inputs can be postponed until economic conditions improve, but fertilizer has a direct bearing on yields, efficiency and profits.

The optimists aren't wrong, they're just early.

FCG: A Better Natural Gas ETF

"Although ETFs which invest in futures can be useful, a safer and potentially more lucrative strategy exists: "

And today UNG is up almost 1% and FCG is down more than 4.5%.

If that's safer and more lucrative, give me riskier and less lucrative. Another ill-thought out, poorly written article. The author's apologies and explanations take up more space than the original nonsense.

Time to Go Long Natural Gas and Short Oil?

"Much has been written about recently about the under performance of natural gas relative to other commodities. "

And what your written ABOUT RECENTLY ABOUT has added nothing of substance.

Is Pennantpark the Best Business Development Company Around?

Well, thanks for sharing ... and wasting our time.


"While I don't have a lot of time to diversify my portfolio ...

"I don’t have time to debate politics here..."

"I applaud the ...even if I do not know if the facts are correct. "

"Another question, which I have not been able to answer ..."


"I hope that helps.

NMB"

Not really. You've been mindlessly pumping this stock and (allegedly) buying it all the way down.

How to Trade the Impending Treasury Bubble Burst

In January, the Chinese held about $739 billion in US debt. In 2007 the average daily trading volume in US debt was $569 billion.

Saying what if they decided to liquidate blah blah blah is hysterical nonsense on several levels. Certainly foreign ownership of such large amounts of US debt is a concern but aside from a few countries like Iran & Venezuela (which probably own no US public debt) it would be counter-productive for most countries, especially the Chinese or Japanese, to dump what they hold. The reason they have so much in US currency reserves with which to buy our debt is because we bought what they were selling. The myth that they don't need us to support their economies is apparent now as their unemployment rates skyrocket. The comments made by Wen Jiabao were directed to a domestic audience for political reasons, although jabbing at the arrogant pricks on Wall Street was also enjoyable I'm sure.

There are many reasons to be concerned about the government's balance sheet and all the debt that's piling up, but dropping in the ridiculous comment, "Were the Chinese to liquidate their positions tomorrow..." as if it were a realistic outcome upon which to base investment decisions, is akin to suggesting that you should consider the probability that a meteor will take out Rush Limbaugh. It would take a very large meteor and we probably couldn't be that lucky.

Nervous About MLPs

Nothing of substance, just emotional ramblings apparently based on the author's "feelings" or possibly a gift of clairvoyance.

He probably picks horses at the track based on his nervous feelings and other inside information available only to him & his hair piece.


"MY TAKE is that, on balance..."

"I have a NERVOUS FEELING about what MLPs will have to say."

"MLPs WILL PROBABLY follow ..."

"Going forward, MLPs WILL PROBABLY be affected ..."

Eight Monthly Dividend Stocks

"...monthly monthly dividend stocks."


"advantages are available with receiving monthly dividends including acceleration [sic] the investors' return of capital..."

If you're being paid a distribution which is a return of capital, how is that a good thing and why would you want to accelerate it?

"full of teeming [sic] shoppers "
"Teem" is a verb, not an adjective.


"bankrupcies reign [sic] down "
rain, rein, reign: English is just a mystery, isn't it?

"has the not-so-invisible hand permanently injected"
This is beyond comprehension.
