Hello,

What a great post/article.

I agree 100% with “The U.S. treasury market appears increasingly risky as the government runs up massive debts, prints money and subsequent inflationary pressures increase.”

Cheers,
Kirk

I’m glad someone else mentioned NLY. I read about this one earlier this year but didn’t act out of general loathing for US Financials. Finally bought it this fall after researching it a bit and their business model and expect some good growth still as the Fed is forced to keep rates down. Not a typical financial by any means! Once they raise them, though, look out. Little risk in this one at all other than USD risk for foreign buyers like me. Get out before next summer I think.

HTS is another good pick along similar lines with a lower PE from what I recall.

I think you are missing the boat on a big dividend stock from the largest virtual bank, NLY. This past year has shown both a large increase in capital gains as well as dividends. As long as the Fed keeps interest rates at 0%, NLY will continue to make excellent gains and continue to raise its dividend. Now the Fed won’t keep interest rates down forever, but for the near future its yield is too high to miss.

Sounds like a new reader TPC. Let it go.

This isn’t a stock picking contest Peter. I am not looking for validation from readers. I was simply trying to provide an investment theme and perhaps a few options. Do with it what you want (even if that is nothing), but disparaging it because you think a few energy trusts are the end all adds nothing valuable to the site.

Everything on this site is provided free of charge and free of bias. If you’re looking to pick a fight with someone I am sure you can find it elsewhere. If you’re looking for stock picks I believe there are 10 minutes left of Cramer….Thanks for your picks either way. Hopefully someone will find them helpful.

Right Scott, I have my reasons. Biovail, Terra and Lorillard all have lots of cash, no debt and high yields. You are correct about Pembina Pipeline and Atlantic Energy being Canadian Stocks. Actually Pembina Pipeline is a Canadian Income Fund paying 10% monthly. Atlantic just recently converted from an income fund to a corporation. It also pays 10+%.

Due diligence? I live on the dividends I receive. I don’t have the luxury of choosing investments that pay mediocre dividends. There are many other companies that are better choices than the ones TPC listed. He states the reasons he picked the ones he did. Simple enough, go to the WSJ website and filter out either what you want or what you don’t want and voila!! An article. I’m not impressed either with his article or his response.
