Stock Market thread

So far I like T (6.63% ), JEPI (9.82%), NEM (5.03%) for dividend plays (utility, better-weighted index + covered call writing, best of breed miner).

I like some of the other dividend mentions on this thread so I'll continue to do more research. Strong, stable, dividend payers are the only area of the market that interests me right now.

JEPI's been on my radar for a few months now. I think Mannarino brought it up and that's where I heard about. Now seeing your reminder here I finally just bought some shares!

Another that I bought last month was URNM from Sprott. Last three months it's up 25% and think it has a lot of potential.

Looking at PBR dividend history makes Bitcoin look stable, lol. After collecting that +40% I would jump ship ASAP. There was many years PBR didn't pay a dividend at all. Sometimes only a quarter and fractions of a cent. I'm attaching a screenshot.

For a high dividend yield, I would prefer PSEC (almost 10% right now). They have being paying monthly dividends for decades, just like Realty Income.

I'm keeping it for now. The risk that is discussed the most is that the socialist candidate is leading the Brazilian polls. Dividends are not consistent, but we are in a different time. According to my app they have an Ex dividend date in 74 days with another fat one.

With Western nations rejecting Russian oil, they have to get it from somewhere.

I like JEPI for income, but AT&T has been crap for decades now with the stock plunging. Terribly managed company.

Yes you are right, it doesn't really fit my 'strong, stable' requisite, but my investment thesis is that they've seen the writing on the wall and been forced to change course. Spinning off WBD and trimming the dividend were first steps, and I look for them to re-focus on core businesses going forward. Also, the fact that it's been beaten up so badly as you mentioned may mean there's not much room left to fall. As I mentioned elsewhere, I think the cell phone bill will be the last discretionary bill standing when people trim their expenses. T is a household name that could come roaring back, assuming it doesn't go the way of General Electric. They have a low P/E and enough FCF for the dividend, for now. Stock is $16.74 today (also at book value) so we'll see how they look in another six months, should be enough time for something positive to materialize.

I'm betting on KNX to keep growing their div. Not an aristocrat, lower yield, but perhaps a future one.

So with the sanctions, Americans can not purchase any Russian stocks. Is this the case for Europeans as well? I see great opportunity if it was possible, and would look for ways (if it didn't get me put on a watch list)

Betting on the dollar vs other currencies seems to be a good play considering how the FED is fighting tooth and nail for the dollar

I’m in Europe and I tried to buy rubles several months ago, my brokerage wouldn’t let me. Bummer, I would’ve made a killing.

I don’t know about stocks though.

Wow, I didn’t even think to check them. I figured they were too mainstream.

Currency speculation is one way to make money during turbulent financial times, from what I understand. Isn't the current sentiment that the dollar is going to crash within the next year?

Once one of these shows more cracks, the whole damn looks like it’ll bust open.

Then daddy government gets more excuses to ‘help’. It’s the Hegelian dialectic I’ve been talking and writing about a lot.

Buckle up boys.

Credit Suisse executives spent the weekend reassuring large clients, counterparties and investors about its liquidity and capital position, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

A spokesman for Credit Suisse declined to comment on the report when contacted by Reuters.

Executives made the calls after spreads Credit Suisse credit default swaps (CDS), which offer protection against a company defaulting, rose sharply on Friday in an indication of investor concerns, the newspaper said.

Credit Suisse five-year credit default swaps (CDS) jumped 6 basis point to close to 247 bps on Friday, the highest level in at least 10 years, S&P Global (NYSE:SPGI) Market Intelligence data showed.

Credit Suisse CDS began the year at 57 bps.

The Financial Times said that a Credit Suisse executive denied reports that the bank had formally approached investors about potentially raising more capital, insisting that it was trying to avoid such a move with its share price at record lows and higher borrowing costs due to rating downgrades.

The Swiss bank's chief executive Ulrich Koerner told staff in a memo seen by Reuters on Friday that it has solid capital and liquidity.

The bank also said last month it was pressing ahead with a review that includes potential divestitures and asset sales.

Wouldn’t it put past them to take down Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank as part of the US war to destroy Europe. They’ve already been dismantling Europe’s energy infrastructure. Banking would make sense next. And of course daddy US will be there to “save” them.

Do you not realize that all wars are the bank's wars?
