As a side note AZN looks really cheap to me right now, probably going to wait a little longer until more clarity in Europe but plan to start seriously accumlating soon.
My Take On Jim Cramer's Lightning Round Picks (11/3/11) [View article]
VOD will be getting an irregular dividend from VZ in the future besides in Jan 2012. There is real contention between VZ and VOD's management. VZ has tried for years to NOT pay the dividend but now VZ need the positive cash flow to fund other operations....really it seems its been a waiting game for VOD and VOD has finally won. I expect VZ to pay out dividends on a regular basis and so VOD will have a much higher dividend than now.
Also managment has targeted VOD's dividend growth rate at 8% per year. VOD I think is the best long term pick. I would buy more on any EU crisis drop.

VOD is like a lot of foreign stocks that pay in irregular amounts as opposed to most U.S. companies that pay the same amount each quarter. Get a quote from Yahoo.com of VOD and select "price history" and then "dividends only". That should clear it up for you.
NOTE: VOD will be paying a HUGE special dividend this year due to its 45% ownership in Verizon wireless and likely to increase dividend because of this....do your own research, contentious relationship between VZ and VOD but likely I think VOD gets this dividend often in the future.
I think possibly its the fear factor...people buy GLD vs. GDXJ because GLD represents physical gold (supposed to anyway...) vs. GDXJ which still is a stock of a company. Some point soon though valuations will raise GDXJ....it has as you pointed out too many favorable trends.
Barack Obama yesterday gave a preview of the jobs package he is formulating, telling a rally in Detroit that proposals would include an extension of payroll tax cuts, as well as projects for rebuilding roads, bridges and other infrastructure. Obama is due to provide full details to Congress on Thursday. [View news story]
Why are so many people blamming Obama instead of the true inept culprits....the U.S. congress?????? President last time I checked has basically the power to "suggest" a new jobs bill but congress is whom writes these horrible bills and signs the checks.
There will be no vote on the Boehner debt plan tonight, according to House Republican Whip McCarthy. Stock index futures drop a bit further, the S&P 500 contract down about 0.75%. [View news story]
Yes things were all roses in 2008 when George Bush was in office......Grow up!!!
Really both parties, multiple presidents, and the American people whom elected them are to blame for this mess! How about some constructive comments like how to fix social security.......
FOR EXAMPLE make those individuals making over $107,000 per year pay their fair share of social security!!! Can't believe most people don't know that its capped. If I made $500,000 I would pay the same tax as a person who made $107,000 and when I retire I get MORE than the person who made $107,000 back....its crazy, immoral and needs to change.
Nassim Taleb told us of the rare, unpredictable events that our minds are poorly equipped to deal with: "black swans." So what about the swans that are flashing neon because their imminent arrival is blindingly obvious? A debt-ceiling cataclysm looks more certain every day, and yet investors are closing their eyes.

Battle Between Apple and Microsoft Has a Surprising Loser [View article]
More and more software, hardware, smartphones, televisions, monitors, etc being sold successfully online and/or at individual device makers stores (AAPL store for example). Further Best Buy is vastly exposed to U.S. consumer that is tapped out and/or out of work...and inflation in food and energy will hurt more later this year. Just don't see BBY doing very well in that environment. BBY also probably has a large exposure to commercial real estate (huge minus as well).

More like the begining of a bad negative trend, negative last data point as well.

I disagree could briefly see $23 if Euro debt crisis blows up much worse. However I would definitely buy at that level. I think this is an excellent chance now, and amazing if at $23 to get Long in VOD.
White House says both sides agree on $1.5T in spending cuts (DJ). WH Press Sec. Carney is holding a briefing now. Stocks spike briefly back into the green. [View news story]
WAIT a minute....the title of this article is totally misleading!!!
"White House press secretary Jay Carney said the Obama administration made clear in talks on Wednesday that there are “significant cuts, $1.5 trillion in cuts, that everybody can agree on.”
There is no mention of Repubulicans agreeing to this.
SO THERE IS NO AGREEMENT STILL!!! I think SA needs to change this
"White House says BOTH SIDES AGREE on $1.5T in spending cuts (DJ). WH Press Sec. Carney is holding a briefing now. Stocks spike briefly back into the green"
SA statement is incorrect!!!
Give me a thumbs up if you agree. I want accurate info from SA.

REIT I apprecate your sceptisim
Hmmm.... I believe fine is approx. $1 billion. Can you give source stating $5 billion fine? As far as I know this is old news from months ago regarding tax penalty ruling in India. Can you give reference to some recent update? Don't think this is a problem for VOD. They sold stake in CHL for $3 billion if I remeber correctly, for example. This was bad news but VOD is so rich and so much bigger than people realize that this should be no problem.
