What I see is European economics practiced in the U.S.

With a lot of the Japanese model thrown in. Will probably result in the same multi-decade zombie economy they have, combined with the high unemployment rates the euros have.

That makes me a mutual fund guy. Especially index funds since they have very low expense ratios.

Having to watch stocks drives me crazy.
ETF's have lower Overhead Fee's

GTMM looks like it's getting ready to rock 'n roll...

Not compared with many index funds, as the poster mentioned. Some of the index funds I'm in have expense ratios as low as 0.05%. That's incredibly low, about as "free" as it gets.

Sold AGNC today. QE3 doesn't appear to be a favorable condition for agency mREITs (like Annaly, AGNC, etc). That, combined with the prospect of higher dividend taxes, and I think this stock will be seeing some tough days ahead. There may be an opportunity to get back in at a lower price.

I still got some money out of them, though, so I'm happy.

Higher taxes = good...according to the NY Times. Got it.

The one useful thing in that article is that it shows how government shakes down the private sector:
Quote:
Congress always refuses, because renewal of the credit is a great way to shake down corporate lobbyists for campaign contributions. The lobbyists don’t mind, because when the credit is renewed they can demonstrate that they have added to the company’s after-tax bottom line. In Washington, this is called a win-win – except for the economy, which doesn’t get the R.&D. that it needs.


As well as showing how tax policy seriously distorts the economy on the whole.

I'm up about 7% on my LINE.

With AGNC, ARR, O & NYMT TANKING I may buy some for my regular account too.

May retire earlier than thought if our Company doesn't make it...

May need to live off Dividends and those pay 'em.

Will you look for another job or you just had enough ?

I am similar to you in that I like dividends.

Man, I don't know. After 31 years in Hi-Tech Micro-Electronic Semiconductor & Surface Mount Engineering, most being Medical, it's getting pretty old. Dealing with the (smart(?)) youngin's right out of college that are acting like kids over the past 2 years is not what I want to deal with.

We'll see. I'm 52, could live off the Dividends easy in just my regular account, but it'll be nice to work a few more years, financial wise.

Which Dividend stock/funds do you like?

The tax system is a MESS! I'd love to see "serious" tax reform and many other government reforms, but this is the world we live in now and have for many years.

Here is a telling sign, and also why things did ok in the 90's despite tax hikes.

Y = C + I

dY = dC + dI

I think ARR is a strong buy at a pullback price of 6.59 now.

A 16.4% Dividend, that pays MONTHLY!

When the VIX is low, look out below! This market, from a technical analysis perspective, is toast. Lost the support trendline from the 2009 lows on all the major indexes. Just like the break in 2000, and 2007, there will likely be a rip roaring rally that will come back to retest it.

Today is the day QE3 hit the market, and today is also the day the treasury auctioned $25 billion in very short term debt. QE3's liquidity was essentially sucked right back into US debt!

It's called money laundering.

mREIT's got hammered lately & trading well below book value. I picked up 20k ARR & AGNC for my regular acct. today.
