America’s New No. 2 Oil State – North Dakota – Sets More New Oil Production Records In April

Posted: 12 Jun 2012 03:05 PM PDT

The “Economic Miracle State” of North Dakota pumped another record amount of oil during the month of April at a rate of almost 610,000 barrels per day, which was an increase of 5.5% compared to March. North Dakota’s oil production in April was noteworthy for several reasons: a) it was the first time the state’s oil output exceeded 600,000 barrels per day, b) it was the largest year-over-year increase in the state’s history at 73.5%, and c) it was the second straight month that North … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

So That Everybody Gets A Fair Shot, How About A “Workweek And Occupational Fatality Fairness Act”

Posted: 12 Jun 2012 02:27 PM PDT

In a recent CD post, I argued that we could close the gender-pay gap by closing the gender-hours gap. Another way to close the gender-pay gap would be to close the “occupational fatality-gap.” For as long as the BLS has been keeping records, females have been significantly under-represented in occupational fatalities, by a ratio of about one female death on the job per 12 male deaths in most years. Men are disproportionately represented in higher-paying, but higher-risk … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Cusick’s Corner 06-12-2012
This is a solid Midday — the Dollar is breaking, UUP, the Euro Currency has firmed, FXE, and the Financials, XLF, have gotten in the green. The bid is in control at this stage but for the market to stay up it will need to bounce off Midday support, 1315 on the S&Ps, and might be looking to retake resistance, 1326 on the S&Ps. I will be watching James Gorman’s commentary, CEO at Morgan, to see whether his comments may shed some light on the potentially more … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Greek Election And Fed Decision Should Boost Gold, Silver And The Miners

Posted: 12 Jun 2012 10:40 AM PDT

Markets reacted negatively to the Spanish Bailout of a $125 billion as they keep a close eye on a Greek election this Sunday and the Federal Reserve Board meeting on June 19th and 20th. Investors feel that there is the possibility of a pandemic meltdown and that the Spanish bailout has little impact other than saving time. To avoid such a catastrophe, the Greeks may elect to stay in the Eurozone. This may effect the Fed's decision's on June19-20 to implement QE 3 in … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Dividend Growth Investing – The Hunt For Long-term Income

Posted: 12 Jun 2012 07:40 AM PDT

Choosing whether to invest in stocks that offer steady income or long term growth is a subject that usually divides investors – but an increasing number think that you can have both.
At the heart of this apparent crossing of investing wires is a dividend strategy that combines a conventional focus on dividend yield with a strong emphasis on a company's ability to grow its payouts over time. Find a company that can do that, the argument goes, and you'll find a company with a rising … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards
