Two Yielding Stocks Under $5 (With Low Debt) Stockerblog submits: Income stocks are not necessarily the blue chip stocks (is there such a thing any more?) or the higher priced stocks. There are plenty of dividend paying stocks under $10 a share and even several under $5 a share. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com turned up a list of seven low priced stocks with yields above 3.5% and low or no debt, all of which have been paying dividends regularly for the last few years. A couple of the items on the list are closed end funds, also known as CEFs, such as Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund Inc. (CIK), which currently trades for less than 3.60 per share and yields 8.9%. It is debt free.Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
Sizing Up the Industrials ETF Landscape Morningstar submits: By Robert Goldsborough Even as the exchange-traded fund market continues to mature, industrials-sector ETF offerings remain remarkably scarce relative to other sectors. While we believe tactical investors would benefit from seeing ETF providers further slice and dice the sector--for instance, in our book, an ETF with pure exposure to firms that make machinery would be a great addition to the space, because it would give investors a fund more tightly tethered to the ups and downs of the global economy--there remain several attractive options out there right now for investors.

U.S. Airways Turnaround: Profits Flying High Robert Herbst submits:Coming next month AirlineFinancials.com estimates US Airways (LCC) will report an all time record 3rd quarter profit of $225 million. The revenue projection for the same time period is $3.2 billion. This record high profit and near record 3rd quarter revenue, follows US Airways 2nd quarter 2010 profit margin of 8.36%. When comparing the nine largest US airlines, Alaska’s (ALK) 8.6% was the only profit margin higher than US Airways for the recent 2nd quarter. Less than two years ago, US Airways reported a 3rd quarter loss of $242 million (including special items, the loss was $865 million). Toward the end of 2008, United (UAUA) and US Airways were at the top of many analysts’ list of carriers that were most likely to join the growing graveyard of failed airlines. Just over 10 months ago in a conference call, US Airways CEO Doug Parker stated: I think those of us [airlines] who are around have made it through a very difficult time. - It is not over - is probably the best way to say it. …This is still… what has to happen; we have to get this industry back to profitability.The standard can’t just be survival. We passed that standard but there is a higher standard out there which is getting actual returns for investors on their investment.Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
