15, I faced a similar situation and so far things are holding together. Don't know if this would be an option for you, but on retirement, besides REIT/CEF/ETF/IndivStocks to pump the numerator, we started from scratch on the expense denominator too. We lived in the region of our parents...

I like AMZA, INF, KYN, CEN & ENDTF. Diversified infrastructure and MLPs w/o K-1s. Decent yield from 'necessity' product businesses with a bit of trending upside as well. T200

I wasn't saying SSW was low risk. Clearly it isn't, for far more reasons than just missing their capex nut. I am looking for risk ... maybe in the wrong place here LOL, we will see. However, the Net Income loss of ($184MM) includes a one time, non-cash impairment charge of $203MM and $52MM of...

Good point for a more in depth analysis ... as well as when their long term debt has to be dealt with. Might just have to be happy with a short term bounce if that turns ugly. T

I read that $200MM/year eye opening comment and decided to look closer. I asked how well are they covering their last quarter interest payments on that debt? $43.6MM int paid with $90MM left over for divs. So how well is the div covered? So their div payout ratio is only 42%. With...

Paying/maintaining a good dividend requires a competent, disciplined mgmt team and biz margin that can produce real cash flow for common shareholders. Zinga white shoe, boys (and their ilk) reselling stripped, private data bits from "The Ghetto" (their name for flyover country) can't qualify to...

In Jan2015 AMZA sold for ~$22 with a 50 cent, quarterly dividend. So the annual yield was $2/$22 = 9.1% and it didn't stand out greatly. Now there are people in the market willing to push the button on their laptop and sell AMZA shares for $11.40. Div was raised by 8 cents during the oil...

The div actually went up as oil took the whack and is now stable. I understand they have a stable payout fund mgmt MO like a number of CEFs. Essentially return of capital makes up any income shortfall. They haven't had to tap capital since Oct2015. Check the screen scrape or check the "latest...

Held it for a while. MLPs are better owned in CEFs to avoid tax paperwork. AMZA Div is 4% higher today than back in early 2015 when shares sold at twice today's price. Half of AMZA-held MLP pipeline, midstream, storage, processing, etc infrastructure DID NOT disappear from the planet in...

Unfortunately none of them could spell stipend ... and the granddaughter's death was not the half of the tragedy: On Sept. 17, 2004, his granddaughter’s boyfriend was found dead from a drug overdose in Whittaker’s home. Three months later, the granddaughter also died of a drug overdose. Her...

Sadly true. We had a local PowerBall winner. His behavior was like me winning the lotto and getting a brand new gassed up stretch 747 to try out on my own. Just as I shouldn't be allowed to fly a 747 being totally unqualified, the state should never allow someone untrained with capital to...

Agreed that "it is the last thing people would seek" ... not the first. The time line is the key. A wise friend confided his family's three step philosophy to "be OK no matter if the SHTF or not". Independently sustaining land, shelter, food and 'outside' productive work. Continually...

Congrats on your work so far and good fortune with the inheritance. Let me offer my journey to the exit. I had a similarly uplifting job and one particular event set me hard on the journey to seek full freedom. I had casually traded for a good number of years primarily using trend following...

A Jan14 article at Zero Hedge gives a summary graph showing the "Interest Rates Are Going Higher" trade getting a bit crowded. (Now a million contracts short ... topping their lookback of 20 years.) The recent spike does seem like a fairly unique situation and the author describes it as a...

Had Bitdefender and it nailed a number of ugly exploits. Got a call from my broker that a Euro location hacker had made multiple attempts on accessing my account. His IP put him in BD's backyard. Had no reason at all to think they might connected, but that was little comfort since I was in a...

Apo99, 5000 trades a year averages around 20 trades per day. Are you taking these manually from Lvl2 data or did you automate your setup scan process? What are a few of your favorite penny stocks to trade? T

The Alinsky MO is omnipresent with her and her apologists. "Back in your basket" indeed. Freeze, Personalise and Polarize. Yawn. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist." -Alinsky He was right...

Interesting product. On demand, unlicensed ISM microwave beams transmitted to demanding low power devices 5-15 feet in a room to charge batteries as needed. Impressive tech concept. Nikola Tesla redux. My question would relate to market acceptance of the RF exposure and interference issues...

So getting long is positive slope on the 42 and exit on crossing back inside the BBs? ViceVersa for short? T, Did you settle on 42 by trial/error or did you run some software optimization? I spent a number of years doing a lot of stuff manually, but recently tried using the optimization...

What is your fav trend determining indicator/method? If you don't mind me asking?
