Bottom line.....Wher's is all this cash coming from? One true axiom which know one can argue. The stock prices in my portfolio will keep going up and down, up and down, up and down and my cash keeps building up from dividends. So I reinvest, which produces more cash. Dividends create a glorious image of a money pump.

Are you saying sell dividend stocks and collect .02 percent in a MM because of the increase in tax. I think we would be better served if we all called our Congressmen and told them to stop spending.

Intel has potential. Now that AMD is out of the way. The laptop market will almost be all theirs. Watch out Qualcom, and AMR. A company who can corner the laptop, Pc, server, and processor market should be able to produce a Tablet or Phone. Intel might not be stuffed with the morons you think they are. They have the aptitude to succeed in cornering the tablet and phone market as well
Unbigoted Researcher, who ever he is aligns himself with like perhaps the Fool and other Mac people who get it wrong quite often, As well as constantly scream about how the PC is dead. Strange they never mention the MAC with OS 10 with is loaded with Intel processors, but they most likely don't know about that as they do not know about Intel's Tick Tock method of creation, design, engineering, and manufacturing. A method created many years ago to have the PC and other products evolve. Which it has done. The PC evolved and is not dead, As a result Intel has profited and will continue to profit because its ability and expertise in producing Sophisticated semiconductors

I'm retired and look for income from the following CFE's. HPS, EVT,PDT, ETG, and EOS. I've read several of your articles on CFE's and appreciate you spreading your knowledge. It seems that CFE's are avoided by most people like myself. I'm not sure why. I think I understand the risk of leveraged funds that own preferred stocks in an environment of increasing interest rates. The income from these funds have been very positive in the last 5 years. I maintain a buy and hold aproach and collect the dividends. In your vast knowledge of CFE's could you share more insight on the effects of an environment of increasing interest rates on these types of CFE's Again Thanks for the knowledge of these funds.

Douglas Thanks for explaining the complexity of the CFE's. I'm invested in EVT,HPS, PDT, ETG.and EOS. All of which are not considered fixed income CFE's However, they are leveraged and own Preferred, excluding EOS. Could you evaluate the risk is on owning these in a environment of "expected increase" of interest rates. Rick
The Monthly Dividend ETF Difference [View article]
I like the Closed End Funds that pay monthly dividends because the rate is usually higher than most ETF's I assume this is because of risk of the leveraged CEF's or Funds expenses. Do you think the risk and expense of owning CEF's is comparable to ETF's .ie EVT, HPS.
AT&T: Uncertainty And Red Flags Could Mean A Buying Opportunity [View article]
Well, If T is in trouble with that much Rev and cash, how can anyone even think of buying anything else on the market? They have more cash than the US government. The only reason the stock would fall is because of non confidance in their ability to keep it going which is unde rmined by articles like this. Created by someone who has not the slightest clue of the basic long term strategy of T, or what the kind of profit can be made by controlling the movment of data around the world. Yet I suppose Verizon is OK to buy? I suppose T could be in trouble if we all throw away our I pads and phones and start using pen and paper again.
Seagate And Western Digital: Tech's 'Ugly Sisters' [View article]
Biggest problem for Segate and Western is the solid state drive competition. Intel is the heavy in the technology. They'll be hard to beat their margins in manufacturing solid state drives. and with the PC moving into smaller devices. In several years there won't be a hard drive manufactured. I'm shocked anyone would bet on these 2 stocks.
