Anyone interested in Annaly Capital Management (NLY)? REIT with a high dividend rate at least to date. Lives on the interest spread. current quarter not doing so well earnings wise due to early Mortgage payoffs by Fannie and Freddie. Should be a temporary phenomenon as long as interest rates are low. As always invest at your own risk and do your own research.

Scout, I have been in and out of AGNC in that MREIT space. Right now I am out. I think they could announce another equity offering and they always do it mid quarter for a discount to what the stock is trading at. I have not ever been invested in NLY, but it is an interesting sector. With stable rates for the foreseeable future, these high payouts seem manageable by the companies.

I just noticed that McDonalds Corporation (MCD) has been moving up nicely ever since October 2009. Makes sense. These days "going out to dinner" means grabbing a cheeseburger happy meal.
So how late to the party am I on MCD? Comments?

Wow, nice chart! I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but for anyone else listening...
If you are a technical analyst, you might just wait for the chart to consolidate, although the recent breakout is pretty fresh. There is good support between 71.5 and 72, 70, 65, and 61.
If you are into the fundamentals you may want to compare the historical price to earnings ratios with the current P/E to let you know if it is still a bargain or not.

Merlin Rothfeld is the host of Power Trading Radio. At the end of each broadcast he has the "power pick of the day" which he outlines on his blog.
On 8-13 the PowerPick was MFE. He probably just got lucky but look what happened on 8-19. His stop was at $29.45.

I have been mainly trading ETFs as you can mirror your TSP account for the most part, but you can get more aggressive (more moves, more choices, etc.) Check out www.etftalk.com. It's quiet over there but there a lot of info posted on the forum. Good luck!

Start with a company that has a product you are familiar with and like - that's the easiest way to get started. Otherwise, you can throw a dart at a financial page - that's called random walk theory. I usually let my financial adviser, Mindylou, pick my stocks.

Birch is right about the Buffet understand what you are investing in. First you have to know what your goals are (income, capital appreciation, etc). Then find the stocks that fit with your goals. Google Finance has a nice stock research tool. Yahoo Finance has good industry information. Then drill down from there.
I always try to pick the best or second best company in the industry. You may pay a premium, but they are generally run well and over time they tend to outperform their peers.
Just my 2 cents.Ford 's UAW contract vote is looking positive.

Take a look at:
[h=2]Guidewire Software, Inc. Common (GWRE)[/h]
Went IPO day before yesterday at 13. I know someone who works for them. Could be a very nice future.
Traded yesterday at 17.34.
I think it is worth watching it. Could be interesting.

Just a note:
I picked Guidewire back in 2012 at 17. Told my sister about it. She bought heavily.
She called me yesterday to say that Guidewire had just crossed 110.
(AAARRGGHHH- WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN TO MYSELF??)

Here are some interesting individual stocks I came across yesterday that I want to learn more about and start watching:
All cap over a billion dollars, and all with positive earnings/& dividends.
Stock Symbols:
EVRAZ - a Russian steel company, called EVRAZ plc website: https://www.evraz.com/en/investors/
- headquarters in London, United Kingdom. It has operations mainly in Russia, but also in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Italy, Czech Republic, the United States, Canada and South Africa.. I t caught my eye because it has a SIGNIFICANT DIVIDEND, and great margins.
VEDL - appears to be Indian minerals and oil. Caught my eye because it has a profit margin, and a dividend of over 10%. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VEDL/key-statistics?p=VEDL&.tsrc=fin-srch
MFA - a real estate REIT, with a MORE THAN 10% dividend history, and a profit margin showing as over 70%. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MFA/key-statistics?p=MFA&.tsrc=fin-srch
I don't know anything about any of these companies, all three looked interesting to me, so I am initiating due diligence to learn more about them, and see how they may, or might/ fit into my portfolio.

I too like MFA because of its consistent dividends and its lower than average D/E ratio (279%) for its industry (366%). However, because of the nature of its business, its giving a majority of its profits back to its investors so the market price seems to be capped. But I guess that's what makes it dividend friendly. Would of liked to buy it a year ago when it price was discounted.
