If nothing else, you have warned everyone that these "investments" are high risk. When we read that a company is "not profitable" but is paying out a yield of 13% on a bond and a dividend on a stock, we have to wonder about the motive in recommending such an "investment" by the newsletter. It appears that the concept Pasternak pushes is to buy a basket of high yield stocks, hoping that most of the entities stay solvent, leading to a higher than average payout. Of course, total return is not being discussed (aka the stock/bond goes down in value, reducing the principal investment). Once again, many of the stocks being touted are either Canadian or "Pink" sheet stocks. COME ON FOLKS! Why do we waste our time on this? The market continues to rumble ahead today, with many fine companies leading the way. The interview with Eric Fischman in this weekend's Investors Business Daily is a more timely discussion. What this manager of a $2 Billion growth fund (MFS Growth) suggests is simple -- it's all about stock selection, and don't forget stock selection. Perhaps that should be Rule #3 of Investing,,,we all know that Rule #1 is: Don't Lose Money; Rule #2 is: Don't forget Rule #1. I suppose that Fischman would say, Rules #4 and #5 would be: Stock Selection and Stock Selection! Top Picks LISTED for MFS: AAPL, GOOG,CSCO,MHS,ESRX,CVS,V,MA,ADBE, HOT,CME,TIVO,OI,GR,and WAG. Of course, subject to New Selections! Travis — perhaps your original idea of drilling down into the picks of Peter Schiff(ty) would have been more timely, (the market likes gold right now).

Deist Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:32:02 +0000 http://www.stockgumshoe.com/?p=1405#comment-11241 Primary energy required recapitalization. I would steer clear of this company. B&G and Student Transportation have separated their bonds from the stock, which gives a much lower yield. Best two are Atlantic Power and Medical Facilities which have good revenue and earnings growth. Were I to invest in any, my first choice would be Atlantic because utilities haven't enjoyed the upswing in markets and should recover nicely when the global recession is over, but I wouldn't buy any until after their Nov 11th conference call.

As for me, I own Boralex unit trust (BPT_un.to or BLXJF) It pays near 22%. Their cash flow is from hydroelectic generation. Unless you think that canucks and downeasters are going to give up on their cheapest source of electricity it seems like a good bet going forward. They haven't changed their dividend since inception.

It may be a pick in Canadian Edge and is sometimes mentioned in the free E-letters from KCI. I have reservations about buying securities discussed in free commentaries, but the dividend from ATP is good for a little while. ATP is, as mentioned above by Travis, an American company dressed up to look like a Canadian. I like that it is only on the Toronto Exchange and is not denominated in USD's. I bought my shares at one of the dips and keep a watch. I picked up some Atlantic Power because it has been discussed by Roger Conrad at KCI.
