So I just tried to play that video in purple haze's WYHI thread and wasn't able to bc Flash isn't available for the iPhone. This is the message you get from Adobe when this happens:

What a mixed bag of fin/econ news:
U.S. Economy: Retail Sales Stagnate on Higher Unemployment LINK ][LINK]
I can attest to this as I talked Target into a 40% discount on a dresser I bought from them. Headline is misleading btw.
50% ax there, damn.
U.S. Jobless Claims Declined More Than Forecast Last Week LINK ][LINK]
U.S. Wholesale Prices Fell 0.4% in June on Cheaper Energy LINK ][LINK]
JPMorgan Shares Rise After Earnings Beat Analysts’ Estimates LINK ][LINK]

Americans contending with declining home values and unemployment above 9 percent are holding back on spending, prompting retailers such as Target Corp. to sweeten discounts.

After the retail sales data, economists at Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in New York were among those cutting tracking estimates for second-quarter consumer spending. Morgan Stanley economists lowered their forecast to 0.4 percent at an annual pace from a prior projection of 0.9 percent.
50% ax there, damn.

The 0.4 percent decline in the producer-price index followed a 0.2 percent gain in May, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey called for a 0.2 percent drop in June. The so-called core measure, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, increased 0.3 percent, more than projected.

What are the disadvantages of focusing on investing in stocks that yield a high dividend? Opposed to stocks that do not yield a dividend? I ask because I am looking at all of these high yield dividends that are offering 10-12% a year and I see it as easy money. Tell me why it is not guys!

Well, for one, usually when it's a large dividend like that, you aren't getting too much price movement on the underlying security.

Hug div yields are a sign of a company that doesn't have any good future prospects. I don't consider diva at all when valuing a company.

I mean is that not a guaranteed 10 percent return? What are the downsides? I mean I do not care if it moves at all if I get a 10% return guaranteed. I know there is some downside or everyone would just invest in these companies and not bonds etc.
Posted on 7/14/11 at 9:04 pm to reb13
It's only guaranteed if they continue to pay a dividend.
Posted on 7/14/11 at 10:42 pm to reb13
Ain't nothing guaranteed brah, especially a dividend. You're last in line to get paid, which means you are first to get the ax.

And, the PV of those future dividends should already be priced into the value on the stock...theoretically.
Posted on 7/15/11 at 12:43 am to lynxcat
Absolutely, that's why the stock (whatever it may be) is yielding a 10% div in the first place. The market is placing the discount rate on the PV of those dividends at a very high rate. Doesn't necessarily mean the market is right, but that's where you make money, when you can figure out the reason every one else is wrong. Caveat that many educated and respectable people (board included) think this is impossible.

Wow, there is nothing refreshing about those charts.
OT: Just closed my CORN calls for a decent gain. When I initially bought them, I was hoping for something greater than only 7.5%, but I decided to part with them today because the roller coaster has become old and I've noticed my option purchase price was high relative to the price the underlying security was trading at at the time I purchased them. So I will likely re-enter if I can get the same Nov. $45 calls for under $4.
Just purchased some Dec. $10 GGB calls. Bid/Ask was .60/.80. Put in a limit order for .80 and was filled at .67. Great start to the day. Already have my sell order in for .80.

You seem to have been bit by the option bug my friend haha.
I have yet to dip my toe in to test the option waters, but you are increasing my confidence by the day.

I shorted the harry potter opening weekend revenue at $147,500,000. Anything below that I cash in. Only two other movies have ever beaten that number. Keep your fingers crossed.
