Finding Growth in a Flat Energy Market: Tim Murray
2012-01-05 23:00:00 The Energy Report: Tim, what is your investment thesis right now? Tim Murray: It hasn’t changed since the last time we talked. We are biased towards oil plays. But we will look at selective natural gas players and we prefer the lowest-cost producers as well as the companies with a larger production base. TER: Are you currently telling investors that they need to be patient? TM: Yes. Most of the small/micro cap stories have seen a dramatic drop in share price over the last year; however, WTI (West Texas Intermediate) is hovering around $100/barrel (/bbl), and oil companies should be able to generate strong cash flow at these levels.

5 Dividend-Growth Stocks to Help You Get Richer
2011-12-29 19:00:00 I know of only one sure strategy for accumulating wealth over time, and that is to hold stocks with a consistent track record of dividend growth. The reason this strategy works is because dividend increases can be predicted in a way that share price gains cannot. For example, I can come up with many reasons why Coco-Cola (NYSE: KO) or General Mills (NYSE: GIS) will increase earnings next year, but I can't guarantee that either company will post share-price gains. But by looking at the dividend history, payout ratio and earnings growth expectations for both companies, I can estimate next year's dividend increase with fairly good accuracy. A modest 6% dividend increase on a portfolio of stocks . . . → Read More: 5 Dividend-Growth Stocks to Help You Get Richer

Wireless Broadband Penetration can Unleash $80 billion GDP Growth
2011-08-12 11:30:00 GSMA, the association of mobile phone operators in the country, believe a 10-per cent growth in mobile broadband will add Rs3,50,600 crore ($80 billion) to India’s GDP by 2015. Analysys Mason has prepared this report for GSMA to assess the direct and indirect economic impact of wireless broadband in India. The exclusive findings of the Analysys Mason report reveal that allocating just 5MHz of additional 3G spectrum per licensee could increase mobile broadband penetration by more than 35%, which would increase the number of 3G users to almost 160 million by 2015. This would also increase national broadband penetration by 3.3%, resulting in an INR538 billion increase to India’s GDP by 2015. By this time, mobile broadband could contribute a total of INR2190 billion to the Indian economy. India lags fellow Emerging BRIC Peers due to a weak infrastructure base for wireline based broadband deployment. This is due to various reasons like lack of adequate investment, excessive bureaucr...

India In Top 3 For Broadband Growth – Will It Be Via TV Or Mobile?
2011-03-28 10:44:00 India added more than 2.5 million new lines of broadband last year and now stands at No13 in the world. Just 6 years ago it was barely in the top 50 of broadband countries. In terms of growth India is just behind China and US when it comes to broadband. These are good signs for the Indian broadband scene but one has to keep in mind that this growth has taken some time coming. Also the total base of broadband users in India is still small and hence the % growth on that small base might be comparable to others. “There has been tremendous and consistent growth in broadband across India in recent years, yet this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Typically, contrary to good journalistic practice, there is no second source to prove that these "hate" groups are on the rise. What's more is that the SPLC's claims are taken as gospel year in and year out by every Old Media outlet, not just the AFP. Citing the "research"...
