dow2664 Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World is the latest book by Michael Lewis. You remember him, he’s the guy who wrote The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine and The Blind Side . Lewis’s latest book covers the financial disasters in Iceland, Greece, Ireland, Germany, and of course that country in the United States called California. The chapter on Greece is especially timely. If you want to know how and why these various countries got caught up in the financial crisis, this book has the answers. Lewis was able to obtain extensive interviews with very high-up government officials, along with opinions of the regular average citizens. Lewis includes a little humor in this book. I especially found it funny about the Icelander who removed his luggage from the overhead container on a plane and knocked Lewis on the head without apologizing. One thing that Lewis does well is explain finances in a very easy-to-understand format. If you want a great read for your next plane ride (just don’t get knocked on the head by luggage), get Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World .

Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Second Week of March 2012

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends’. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend . This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful, and may need to avoid the technique during those times. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield. Avery Dennison Corporation (AVY) market cap: $3.3B ex div date: 3/5/2012 yield: 3.51% BlackRock, Inc. (BLK) market cap: $35.4B ex div date: 3/5/2012 yield: 3.06% Sun Life Financial Inc. (SLF) market cap: $12.7B ex div date: 3/5/2012 yield: 6.77% American Capital Agency Corp. (AGNC) market cap: $6.9B ex div date: 3/5/2012 yield: 16.31% MDU Resources Group Inc (MDU) market cap: $4.2B ex div date: 3/6/2012 yield: 3.04% Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) market cap: $11.6B ex div date: 3/7/2012 yield: 3.09% British American Tobacco PLC ADR (BTI) market cap: $98.6B ex div date: 3/7/2012 yield: 3.97% CME Group Inc. (CME) market cap: $19.3B ex div date: 3/7/2012 yield: 3.05% Cablevision Systems Corporation (CVC) market cap: $4.4B ex div date: 3/7/2012 yield: 3.84% The additional ex-dividend stocks can be found at wsnn.com. (If you have been to the website before, and the latest link doesn’t show up, you may have to empty your cache.) If you like dividend stocks, you should check out the high yield utility stocks and the Monthly Dividend Stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com or WSNN.com. Dividend definitions: Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend. Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend. Monthly Dividend Stock List Record date : the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date. Don’t forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique. Disclosure: Author did not own any of the above at the time the article was written.

Weekly Outlook for 5-9 March

Following the sharp changes in commodities prices, mainly gold and silver
prices, during last week due, in part, to the speculation around the next steps
of the FOMC on QE3 and the recent release of the second LTRO rescue plan by ECB,
this week there are many important news, events, decisions and reports that
could stir up the forex and commodities markets. Among these news items and
publications are: ECB rate decision, U.S. non-farm payroll report, Canadas
employment report, U.S. factory orders, Chinas CPI, Australias GDP U.S.s
non-manufacturing PMI and U.S. unemployment claims. Here is an economic news
calendar forecast for the week of March 5th to March 9th that highlights the
main news items related to the U.S., Canada, EU, Australia and China.

Silver and Gold Ended the Week Falling –Recap March 2nd

Gold and silver prices continue to zigzag as they have declined on the last
trading day of the week; crude oil prices also sharply fell on Friday after they
had risen for two consecutive days; natural gas future price moderately
increased. The Euro sharply depreciated again against the US Dollar. Here is a
summary of the developments of precious metals and energy commodities for March
2nd, 2012: Precious Metals: Gold price decreased on Friday by 0.72% to $1,709.8;
Silver price sharply fell by 3.19% and reached $34.53. During the week, gold
decreased by 3.7% and silver by 2.5%.

Gold & Silver Prices | Weekly Recap 27 February – 2 March

Gold and silver changed direction throughout the week and their volatility has
risen compared with their low volatility levels during most of February. The
main shift started on Tuesday when silver price rose by 4.5%. This gain didnt
seem related to development of gold price as gold only added 0.76% to its value
that day. I refereed to the unexpected rally of silver in a recent post;
basically I thought it was mostly a speculative move. The following day,
Bernanke testified in the House of Representatives: he was encouraged from the
positive results the U.S. economy had presents in recent weeks; he also didnt
commit to another stimulus plan even though he didnt completely close the door
on it. This news however along with the positive U.S. GDP growth rate for Q4
2011 report, signaled to many bullion traders the FOMC wont announce QE3 in the
upcoming March meeting. As a result, gold and silver tumbled on Wednesday. Gold
and silver bounced back on Thursday, perhaps due to the slight fall in the U.S
Manufacturing PMI growth rate.
