There is a crude oil and gas Unit Investment Trust, Whiting USA Trust I (WHX) which is paying a dividend of 18.38% currently... However, that dividend is actually considered a payment of principal and interest. It is treated by the IRS like a loan where a portion of the payment is non-taxable...

I like stocks which have a good and consistent dividend yield. If the stock price goes down due to profit taking, short selling, or because someone sneezed in Europe, you still have that nice dividend. And will be doing good to hold it. Also when these stocks go down in price, the dividend...

Something I could NOT understand is why any lender would make loans to people that clearly they could not afford? Basically most of these people's money was going to pay their mortgage payment. And there was just barely enough money left over each month for anything else. If their car broke...

Maybe they could hire some TV "extras" to stand around and shout at each other. Showing computer network traffic on TV is not as interesting!

My older HP PC has a graphics card with one DMS-59 connector and a "Y" connector plugged into that with two DVI connections. Then a DVI cable from one of those to one monitor. And another DVI cable to the other monitor. Then I had to install the drivers from the graphics card manufacturer to...

I have paid for advice in the past*, but the amount I paid was nothing in relation to the amount invested or potentially lost. So getting double the money I paid for the advice would do nothing for me. However getting the money back I lost in the investment would get my attention! No need to be...

I always say if you want to get rich quick, then write a book telling other people how they can get rich quick! Actually I feel you are better off buying biographies of people who have made a lot of money. These people have made of ton of money, yet they do not write books on how to get rich...

Human nature is to buy when something is high and everyone else is buying. Then sell low when everyone else is selling... Don't do that! Rather do the "Walmart shopping thing". That is when there is a sale at Walmart - 25% off on that new TV, buy! So when everyone else is doing panic selling...

My dog (lab) is going to lose weight! (Order from the vet.) FYI - Another term for Labrador Retriever is "LabraDevil Food Retriever"! I read where one of these dogs gobbled up an entire pot roast while a lady went outside for just a few minutes. (Called counter surfing...)

It seems to me you will need to do some work and learning to make any sort of return. There are corporate bonds paying around 11% for companies which are making a profit currently. That works out to around $91 a month, but they pay coupons twice a year typically. And there are corporate bonds...

I would ask him *all* about the position and what will be required of you. Best that you find out before you accept it. Also ask about pay and find out the details. When you are paid and how much. If the position has to do with business and dealing with people, best to learn how to communicate...

You are asking advice about your business, but not giving any specific information! FYI - I saw a big name corporation open a fast food restaurant, then close it in under a year. That same corporation has other fast food restaurants still open in that town. Anyway they saw that the new...

This guy seems to be a "crystal ball" for oil... "Burkhard, who makes his living predicting short-and long-term energy trends, also predicted stable oil prices through next year. Brent North Sea crude should stay around $100 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate should run in the $80 range to...
