      Tanker Stocks: Frontline Slashes Dividend
      Also, in this article (biz.yahoo.com/iw/08112...), they say: "Teekay Tankers intends to distribute on a quarterly basis all of its cash available for distribution, subject to any reserves established by its board of directors".

      Isn't a 100% payout ratio dangerous for the longevity of a dividend??

      Thnx!

      According to Yahoo Finance, the yield on TNK is 49%. Despite them raising their dividend, this rings big alarm bells for me.

      Can someone shed some light on this for me? They're paying the dividend on Dec. 10. Once they have publicly committed to a dividend, can they still cancel it??

      Sirius Investors Face Difficult Decisions: It All Boils Down to Faith
      Agatha, that's exactly what I did. You just have to realize it's a gamble. If the Feb debt is not repaid, then don't even think of buying more shares, just accept your losses, and hold for very long term. There *might* be a miracle :)

      But for $240, it's a gamble with good rewards, *only* if $240 is a very small part of your portfolio. If this is your total monthly savings, rather buy a more established stock than a roller coaster like SIRI.

      THANK YOU for a forward-thinking, thought-provoking article, and a bit of clarity of what to think about for the proxy vote.

      I'm unclear about one thing: Mel said not so long ago that he hopes it doesn't come down to him lending the company the money to pay back Feb's debt.

      Does this mean he would realistically consider it??



      In addition, I don't get this:

      The board wants to dilute shares, yet at the same time have a reverse split? How the heck does that work? Doesn't one cancel the other out??

      something interesting i noted:

      4 out of the 5 worst performers were from the UK!

      Should this tell us something? Or is this just a great time to buy them?

      How is trading stocks any different??

      You cannot physically buy, sell or trade, or take possession of a company either.

      How Will Sirius XM Refinance Its Debt Now?
      I just have one quick question:

      Mel Kamazin stated at the Merrill Lynch 2008 Media Fall Preview that he hopes it doesn't come down to him lending the company money.

      Does that mean he would be prepared to do that??

      If yes, then at least worst case scenario he himself will finance the company to pay back it's debt in February.

      So then what is there to worry about with regards to their Feb repayment?

      10 High Cash, High Yield, No Debt Stocks
      On SeekingAlpha's stock chart for MTE, their price 10 years ago was around $1,200, now it's down to $3?!

      What am I missing here? I did not see any Reverse splits on the historical data in Yahoo Finance, so what's going on here?

      Seven Highest Yielding Stocks Going Ex Dividend in November
      Quick question:

      If a stock is going ex-dividend soon, has the company already declared that they will pay $x for the forthcoming payment?

      Is the dividend guaranteed for the forthcoming payment, or can management still cut it?

      you should sign up to GTX's emai list to receive their newsletter.

      I receive no spam, get about 1-2 emails per month, with interesting and relevant write ups (granted, by the company). From the company newsletters I receive, it seems the company is slowly but surely increasing revenue and client base.

      I haven't checked out their financials, nor do I own any shares (yet), but I think it is a company worth checking, albeit extremely closely, which I will do soon.

      bwh, Thanks for that clarity!

      Not concerned about the short term volatility.

      Do you own HTE?
