Conrad calls on rural telecom
2009-09-03 14:00:00 "Rural telecom Consolidated Communications (NSDQ: CNSL) pays some of the safest and most generous dividends on the planet," says Roger Conrad in The Utility Forecaster."Rural wireline phone companies are corporations. But thanks to numerous non-cash income statement expenses and opportunities to boost efficiency and cut costs, they also effectively flow through pre-tax cash flow as dividends."In one sense, rural phone companies are like energy unit trusts. Their key resource -- local phone lines -- is constantly depleting as customers switch to wireless phones, or adopt Internet-based service. "Long-term sustainability depends on replenishing the resource with acquisitions of more rural phone lines and up-selling customers to broadband service."Even more important is the level of free cash flow, essentially operating cash flow less debt interest, cash taxes and capital expenditures. Free cash flow can be increased by boosting revenue, cutting ... More About: Calls , Telecom

The attraction of silver
2009-09-02 06:00:00 "When inflation threatens, silver offers a safe haven; even when inflation worries subside, silver still retains appeal due to its many uses," says Doug Fabian in his Making Money Alert."With inflation fears weighing on many investors' minds during recent months, gold has become a useful hedge. "But silver's performance this summer proves that gold is not the only way to invest profitably in precious metals. Increased government spending has caused the U.S. dollar to depreciate, and investors are turning to exchange-traded funds."One way to do this is by investing in precious metals such as silver and gold that are not linked directly to the U.S. dollar. "Indeed, the performance of silver has continued to shine even though the dollar started to recover during July. In contrast, the price of gold has begun to weaken with the U.S. dollar starting to rebound."There are good reasons why silver is retaining its luster. First, silv... More About: Attraction , Silver
Quant eyes financial strength
2009-09-02 06:00:00 "Investors considering high-yield stocks should consider financial strength; in our quantitative model, Quadrix, we assess profit margins, interest coverage, and debt levels," says Richard Moroney.In Dow Theory Forecasts, he looks at two stocks that score high in this area: drug manufacturer, AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) and defense industry player, General Dynamics (NYSE: GD). Here, the advisor reviews the two companies."AstraZeneca’s operating cash flow jumped 24% in the first half of 2009, allowing the company to retire $3 billion in debt since the end of 2008. "That extra cash also eased the way for AstraZeneca’s board to boost the September dividend 7% to $0.59 per share. AstraZeneca pays two dividends each year, with a larger payout in March. June-quarter per-share profits rose 31% to $1.64, cruising past the consensus estimate of $1.38. "In July, U.S. regulators approved Onglyza, a potential blockbuster diabetes drug...

Sybase (SY): Networked for gains
2009-09-02 06:00:00 "My mantra for investing in this dicey market is to focus on three non-negotiable demands: very solid balance sheet; large, installed customer base; steady cash flows; and dividends," says Jack Adamo.In his always-excellent Insiders Plus newsletter he looks at a technology stock that meets his criteria: Sybase (NYSE: SY). He notes, "Overall, this is a company I’m comfortable owning, even in a bad ongoing recession.""Sybase is an industry leader in software to manage, analyze and distribute information across all major systems, networks and devices in the most data-intensive enterprises, such as financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing and government."To put it concisely: It manages data and makes it available to the many different devices that use it, across the myriad communication protocols that must be traversed to accomplish that."Sybase customers include large digital advertising networks, worldwide manufacturing compan...
Realty Income (O): 'Rock solid' in real estate
2009-09-01 14:00:00 "Right now, I believe real estate investment trusts (REITs) are one of the worst places you can put your money; but there is one exception," says Tom Dyson.In Daily Wealth, he looks to Real ty Income (NYSE: O), explaining, "This REIT -- which has paid 463 consecutive quarterly dividends -- is one of my all-time favorite income investments." Here's his review."I see abandoned real estate all over my town. Half the businesses still operating are running on fumes. "Our Kmart is a basket case. It's always empty. The Walgreen's is a teardown. Sears has gone. The carpet store has gone and they've boarded up the car dealership."On the other hand, guess what businesses are working best near my house? The gas station, the dry cleaners, the post office, and the Mexican restaurant.

Fired up over coal ETF
2009-08-31 14:00:00 "Coal accounts for more than 70% of China's electricity," says Tony Sagami. In Uncommon Wisdom, he looks to an ETF poised to benefit from long-term rising coal demand."China's coal consumption is growing, and it is building coal-powered power plants at a breakneck pace. "Why? Because they are much cheaper to build and operate than any other power-producing option. China is power starved, and coal is the main resource used for generating electricity in the country."China alone uses more coal than the United States, Japan and Europe combined. China is also the world's top producer of steel, a big burner of coal. More coal-fired power plants are on the way. "Let this statistic sink into your brain — China is activating one new coal-fired plant every week of the year. The reason for the high demand is simple: Per unit of energy delivered, coal costs about one-fifth as much as oil."The second-thirstiest consumer of coal is th... More About: Fired Up , Fired
Two ways to ride the rails
2009-08-31 06:00:00 "We rate both Burlington Northern Santa Fe (NYSE: BNI) and Canadian National Railway (NYSE: CNI) as buys," says analyst Tom Slee. The contributing editor to Gordon Pape's Internet Wealth Builder suggetss, "Burlington Northern remains my number one pick in the sector but CN is excellent value at these levels." Here's his bullish review."Burlington Northern Santa Fe had a relatively good second quarter, posting earnings of $1.18 a share. This is down from $1.34 in 2008 but beat the consensus estimate of $1.01."Year-over-year revenues fell 26% although this was offset by a 33% reduction in costs as a result of tighter controls and lower energy prices."The outlook for U.S. railways remains clouded, primarily because the American economy continues to sputter. On the other hand, volumes have stabilized in recent weeks and should improve during the second half as we move into the harvest and winter heating seasons."Further out, industry ...

Indonesia Fund (IF): 'Hidden gem'
2009-08-28 13:00:00 "Indonesia , a long time favorite, is often overlooked by even savvy global investors," says Carl Delfeld. In Chartwell ETF Advisor he calls Indonesia Fund (NYSE: IF) a "hidden gem.""This year, Indonesia is one of the best performers in the world with a growth rate just a bit behind China. Other attributes are its rich natural resources, less reliance on exports relative to its neighbors, and its growing consumer class which fuels 65% of GDP."Other positives are its appreciating currency and strong banks. Jakarta’s banks are among Asia’s best-capitalized banks. Then there is political stability."Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, re-elected last month as Indonesia’s president, expects faster growth next year and a narrowing of the country’s budget deficit alongside a likely increase in inflation."Indonesia has been less affected by the global slowdown than many thanks to relatively sturdy domestic consumption, due in pa...

Cloud computing: Get on the ground floor
2009-08-28 13:00:00 "The term 'cloud computing' is nothing particularly new or complicated; it simply means that instead of having software on your home, office or notebook computer, you run applications over the Internet," explains Gregg Early.In Personal Finance he looks at three plays on this trend: Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN); Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM); and Rackspace Hosting (NYSE: RAX)."It’s the way of the future as computing becomes increasingly mobile. I would point out that I’m writing this article on Google Docs. This document is stored on a Google server farm, not on my office computer. "When I want to access this document -- from my house, office, laptop or mobile phone -- I simply go to my Google account and it shows up.

Charged up over MasterCard (MA)
2009-08-28 13:00:00 "In this recession, consumers are spending less per purchase on their credit cards -- but that hasn't slowed down the credit card company MasterCard (NYSE: MA)," says Paul Tracy.In his The StreetAuthority Market Advisor, he points out, "In the second quarter, MasterCard's net income grew by +26%, beating Wall Street's expectations by a significant margin." Here's his review."MasterCard makes its money from the fees it charges merchants and the banks that issue its cards. The issuing banks make money by charging consumers interest. "And as we've seen, the banks can lose money when consumers default on their credit card debt. But MasterCard's fee-based business model has been relatively resilient during the downturn."People are still using their credit cards. In fact MasterCard reported credit card transactions were up +7.9% in the second quarter. "And although the dollar value of the transactions was lower by -9.3%,... More About: Mastercard

Regarding integrated circuit maker Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI) he notes, "CEO Jerald Fishman really knows how to run a company.""The numbers posted by Analog Devices and the guidance provided for its fiscal fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 (ends October 2009) were both impressive. And, when taken together, exceeded my expectations."As I had expected, there was an inventory adjustment that resulted in a sequential decline in excess of 18% in its shipments to Chinese wireless infrastructure suppliers."However, due to stronger demand than I had anticipated from several other sectors, ADI reported stronger FQ3 results than I would have expected."This is good news on two fronts.

Four Fidelity funds for Asia

Here's the latest from the "conservative portfolio" section of his The Safe Money Report."The traditional U.S. telecom sector has been viewed as a stodgy backwater. Investors looked down their noses at what used to be called the Regional Bell Operating Companies. But that’s just fine with us.

It current takes government incentives to make solar energy a competitive energy source, although technological advances such as thin-film solar panels along with higher fossil fuel energy prices could change the cost equation in favor of solar."Spain is currently the number one market for solar energy generation, followed by Germany and Japan.

2009-08-25 14:00:00 "Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR) recently reported an outstanding second quarter," notes growth stock expert Michael Cintolo.In The Cabot Market Letter, he suggests, "The company -- which sells coffee and single-cup brewers -- has as big a mass market story as we’ve ever seen." Here's the advisor's review."Initially after the earnings report, the stock fell following its report, supposedly because revenue growth was light.

Microsoft (MSFT): 'Safe and strong'
