The Portland-Montreal Pipeline is the latest battleground in a protracted campaign by anti-oil sands’ groups to choke off Canadian access to U.S. markets. The operator of the little-known pipeline linking Montreal and Maine is studying how to make the line the first route to get Canadian oil sands crude to an Atlantic deepwater port, but the plan relies on supplies that may not be available for years.

An NTI investor can owe state income taxes as non resident in many states:

I am not convinced there will be much drop on dilution, because it is to acquire more revenue producing assets. And IMO any drop will be a very short term buying opportunity. A good merger that increases earnings is often seen as positive when completed.

My opinion is to buy both NOK and BBRY. Stay away from AAPL as way over valued and has much further to fall. On WealthTrack, Robert Kleinschmidt recommended NOK, because he thinks it is priced to value smartphone business at zero. NOK could be for sale, but they certainly have the cash to turn this around.
But keep the negative articles on NOK coming until I finish buying.
I first bought C in September 2010. Sometime ago, I read an analysis suggesting C long term could reach 145- a bit far out, but possible, if they get the growth. Very long term, I would like to see a government forced break up of too big to fail banks, like BAC and C, when they have fully recovered. For investors, I believe several pieces of regional banks could be greater than the value of the single big bank.
HL has been in the depths of the earth for years. And right now, mining shares are not just down, they are toxic. There is no rush to load up. All miners going lower. The only exception will be discoveries of the "mother load"- quite rare indeed.

One really smart rich guy does not see this as you do. That guy is John Malone. If he thought as you do, he would be running away from SIRI as fast as he can, instead of hanging on.
Thanks for your article, analysis, and insight. I do not now own AAPL. I have just been considering it and glad I did not buy before this decline. Whether I agree with you or not, your article clearly says be careful with a stock priced so high. Thanks again.
3 Reasons To Buy Gold Equities Today [View article]
Frank:
Here are my 3 reasons to wait.
1- Gold companies will get cheaper. 2- Gold companies will decrease or eliminate their dividends. 3- Increased losses in a diversified portfolio.
This is for those who believe like me that gold prices will fall much further. Gold has been volatile (up and down) but the trend is further down.
What has been very interesting is that since the recent $200 fall in gold prices, gold mining companies do NOT recover to the extent that gold recovers. With gold miners you have all the downside and very little upside.
I believe that when gold finally hits a rather solid bottom, it will then trade in a range a little above and a little below that bottom for an extended peior of time- perhaps for years. There will be plenty of time to buy miners on sale:
For new investments. To average down on miners you already own.
In my opinion, there is no good reason to buy now. Oh, I did think of one reason. I am in a broker's promotion for free commissions for 6 months. I might add a little 6 months from now, when I expect all gold stocks to be cheaper.

You said: "primary expectation of a bottom sometime in the summer or fall."
Is it your opinion that will be a true bottom? Or just another temporary stop on the way to a much lower bottom?
