      Stocks That May Take a Hit When (If) Oil Hits $150
      Sorry, I meant "If THE auto manufacturers go..." not "If 'they'..." should have used my grammar checker!

      If they auto manufacturers go, they will take a lot more than this bunch with them. The list could multiply by a bunch... it would not be pretty.

      Oil Prices and the "Bigger Fool" Theory
      I work for a manufacturer, small though they may be, and it is true that the markup is at least 8%, and often as much as 100% - whatever the market will pay, that's what the price is. But the US is not the one increasing demand. Our demand is dropping while China and India (and others) are increasing their demand. So demand overall is not decreasing. Supply will have to increase to meet demand or we will have to find other ways - ethanol is not really an option when it affects food prices as it does. In the meantime, I'm riding the oil train, increasing my profits, and watching for the next big game.

      On a Disastrous Jobs Number, Recession is Obvious
      Eventually, with the environmentalists controlling us all the way, we will all be thrilled to see all the birds and animals as we walk to work. Here's a fact that people seem to have forgotten: Almost everything manmade is disastrous to animals, including cars, trucks and buses (road kill), glass windows (birds), buildings (wildlife of all kinds), roads (wildlife), planes (birds), guns... the animals adapt. How far are you willing to walk to work? In my area, there are no buses. No trains.

      Video Consumption: TV and Theaters Down, Online Up
      I got rid of my tv about 10 years ago. Now I survive with just the internet - I can read the news online, gather stock information, and I don't have to settle for the media idiocy.

      Or you could invest in the oil... wait it out... collect.

      Yield Hunters Struggle
      And FRO is way up there in my book. If they come down again, I'll just pick up a little more.

      Yield Hunters Struggle
      I'm with Everyday Finance - I pick my own high yields, balance them with a couple financials (they WILL go back up), and a fund and a bond group, and I'm beating averages. I'm not in the same league, of course, but I'm coming out ahead and gathering dividends almost every week.

      Eight Stocks Going Ex-Dividend This Week
      I also picked up a few more shares of FRO, after the price dropped about $4 today, and added them to my stash... this is one I'm hanging onto. I like the dividend and I don't like paying the commission. I can always just have them send me a check, instead, and have the best of both worlds.

      not so smart, FRO's ex-date is today. Too late, but what a NICE div. CES, the day before is good for the dividend. The day OF the ex-date is too late. And consider commissions on buying and selling, you have to take those into account to really count a profit. If it costs you $10 to buy a stock (no matter how many shares) and $10 to sell it, then you need to make sure you're going to get MORE than $20 in profits or it's not worth selling (and maybe not worth buying).

      In Light of Peak Oil, Financial Diversification Is a Bad Idea
      I'm with maxroom (way back in the early comments). Give me Canroys for the next 10 years, and natural gas and utilities. I'm making more in dividends than I could even think of spending in increased gasoline costs. I'm not a big money investor, nor am I opposed to some of the financial stocks, but for right now, I'm about 50% into the fuel stocks and splitting the rest. No ETFs for me because the yield isn't nearly good enough. In a few years, I'll think about it, but for now, I'm looking for better yield.

      3% Down Days in Oil
      I'm making more in dividends from oil stocks than I'm spending in increased gasoline costs. If I get a smaller car, I'm going to be rolling in dough! YEAH!

      Should Citi Cut Its Dividend?
      I might just have to buy more of this... the more Meredith Whitney and her followers bash Citi, the more I like Citi. I just hate cocky ladies.
