House OKs ban on cellphones while drivingMONTPELIER The Vermont House gave final approval Friday to a bill that bans the handheld use of cellphones and other electronic devices while driving.
The legislation, H.62, was passed on a voice vote after lawmakers approved two amendments on the floor. Final passage came one day after the chamber advanced the bill on a voice vote, following a bit of lively debate and a plea for passage by Rep. Mark Huntley, D-Cavendish, who said his son died in a crash because he was searching for music on his smartphone.
Under the bill, using a phone or other device while behind the wheel would be allowed only with a hands-free feature. Twelve states already have such laws.
A first offense would carry a fine of $100 to $200. All subsequent offenses within a two-year period would carry a fine of $250 to $500, the bill states.
Also, a first offense would put two points on a drivers record, while subsequent offenses would result in five points. At 10 points a drivers license is suspended.
Rep. Teo Zagar, D-Barnard, introduced an amendment allowing the use of hands to activate hands-free mode, as long as the phone or device is in a cradle or otherwise secured. Without the amendment, the bill would have required hands-free mode to be activated by voice only. Many people dont own voice-activated phones.
In many ways this is safer and requires less attention than changing a CD, Zagar said.
The House Judiciary Committee found it to be a friendly amendment and it passed the full House on a voice vote.
Rep. Warren Van Wyck, a Ferrisburgh Democrat, introduced an amendment carving out a special exemption for farm workers. The measure was intended primarily for Addison and Franklin counties, he said, where there is still a lot of farming.
The exemption will allow those operating registered or unregistered farm trucks to use their phones to communicate with each other. Van Wyck said farmers once used citizen-band radios to dispatch vehicles but now typically use phones.
Rep. Thomas Koch, of Barre, who reported the bill for the Judiciary Committee, said the panel found it to be a friendly amendment because it is narrowly construed and benefits a segment of the economy we value. It was also approved by the full body on a voice vote.
A third amendment from Rep. Robert Bouchard, a Colchester Republican, was withdrawn after committee members opposed it. It would have eliminated the five-point penalty for a second or subsequent offense.
I think the point system is too severe for handheld, he said.
But most committee members said they wanted to maintain the same penalties already assigned to texting while driving.
The measure now moves to the Senate, where it appears to have enough support to pass.
However, Gov. Peter Shumlin again reiterated his opposition, saying it is difficult to legislate common sense. The governor stopped short of saying he would veto the bill, though.

text: Sister of My Heart spans many years and zigzags between India and America as the cousins first grow apart and then eventually reunite. Divakaruni invests this domestic drama with poetry as she traces her heroines' lives from infancy to motherhood, but it is Sudha and Anju who give the story its backbone. Anju might speak for both when she says, "In spite of all my insecurities, in spite of the oceans that'll be between us soon and the men that are between us already, I can never stop loving Sudha. It's my habit, and it's my fate." Book lovers may well discover that reading Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is habit-forming as well. --Margaret Prior

I was planning on buying Miricle grow moisture control potting mix. Any other suggestions?

I've used it and it does OK for me. |
I read a survey somewhere recently, which placed Miracle Gro Moisture Control at the top of the list. Supersoil, which once was highly rated, has dropped way down, and DESERVEDLY SO! DH bought three bags of Supersoil last week, and I thought we'd never get the stench out of the car. It was reminiscent of stale sweat, on a massive scale. TERRIBLE. Jeri |
One more vote for Miracle Gro Moisture Control. Had been using EB Stone. . . . not bad, but Miracle Gro is better. |
I haven't done any scientific study, but I recently purchased many, many bags of potting soil for my roses at different locations out of convenience. I have previous experience with Supersoil, but I did not purchase that this time. It's not my favorite. It tends to be damp and smell like sewage. I purchased LGM, Danish Potting Soil, Edna's Best (EB Stone), and Kellogg's Patio Plus. Of all of these, my favorite in terms of texture is LGM and it is the only one I bought more of. EB Stone seems okay, too, but a bit less loamy. Patio Plus was damp and had too much bark/compost in it for me. The Danish Potting Soil is basically just peat and I mixed it in with the others after I realized that. I don't have any experience with Miracle Gro soils so I cannot compare, but I tend to avoid Miracle Gro anything if I can avoid it because I don't trust Scotts for anything other than lawn chemicals. I mixed my own polymers into the soil ("Soil Moist") for the first time ever this season, but I have no prior experience. I am just hoping it helps keep the roses from drying out so quickly in their pots. In the six weeks I have been watering so far the soil does seem to stay much more moist, but I am not sure that's a good thing yet. I am forcing myself to water less often than I am used to based on how moist the soil feels to the touch. It's winter, so it's not a good test of how things will be when it hits 100 for a week straight, but we have had temps in the high 70's for almost that entire period, but it takes a long while for the soil to dry out. Once upon a time I bothered to create my own blend using 50% perlite as suggested by Bob Martin (http://scvrs.homestead.com/BarerootContainers.html) but I just use the potting soil these days. Bob also recommended LGM soil in his article. What's nice about LGM is that is just looks, smells, and feels like good potting soil should. Not damp, not dry, and very loamy. We'll see what my roses think of it, but they did well with it in the past. However, comparing all of these soils side-by-side (and keeping in mind that I am not a rose) I liked the LGM best. |
I make my own from sand, gravel, peat, top soil, humus and decomposed manure and mulch my plants. Here in Louisiana it is very dry in October and June, so watering daily is necessary. Most of the Summer and Winter are fairly wet and humid. |
Alas, Supersoil used to be the gold standard, but not so much anymore. Since being bought out by Scott's several years ago, the quality has become very erratic. Around the time of the buy-out, I got a bag that actually killed plants planted in it. These days, you come upon lots that are still great (maybe even better than the original) and others so bad looking -- and smelling, as Jeri notes -- that one would hesitate to use it for any plant, let alone precious roses. Currently, I have been stocking up when I find a good batch and looking for alternatives. I had a bad experience last year with Edna's Best in side-by-side comparison with Supersoil using tomato seedlings. The Edna's almost immediately created what looked like a severe nitrogen deficiency. I ended up having to rescue the seedlings in Edna's Best by repotting them in Supersoil, where they recovered. Unfortunately, LGM does not seem to be available in northern California? I have shied away from Miracle-Gro potting soil, due to bad experiences in the distant past. But that was literally decades ago, so it's probably time to try it again, given the recs here. Debbie |

I've been using the organic Pro-Mix. I'm not sure if it's available out there. I should say that I haven't used it for roses, mostly for annuals and some of my houseplants. |
- Posted by landperson 9 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 17, 11 at 14:15
Has anyone else tried the Gardener and Bloom Planting Mix? I used about 20 bags of it last season when digging up roses, daylilies, etc. to save them from the marauding gophers. It had a very satisfactory feel and smell to it, and everything I put into it seemed to thrive. I don't keep things in pots for long term (never more than a year), so I can't speak to that situation, but for nurturing plants between or before their forays into the ground, I thought it was very good.

Since I went completely organic three years ago, I am also using organic potting soil. The one that I buy is E.B Stone organics simply because it is available at my favorite nursery. My roses in containers grow well with it, even though in comparison I would say that Supersoil (the potting soil that I bought before I switched to organic potting soil) was a better quality. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Organic Garden Dreams
I use it for all of my potted flowers. It's better than the other commercial mixes I've tried. |
Just a caveat on buying any Timed Release fertilizer enhanced and/or moisture control bagged product (regardless of brand), the bags are not air tight (for obvious reasons) so if you buy those which have been exposed to the elements the chances are good that moisture has gotten into the bags and already activated the fertilizer pellets or other moisture control crystals. Personally I try and buy only the bags stored inside the store, but even that is not fool proof. The best method to assure fertilizer/moisture control is to buy a non additive bag of fertilizer and add your own Osmocote/water crystals. Since I always add more perlite to my potting mix anyway, it's just as simple to add the other ingredients too.....Maryl |

This is fantastically rich(er than the now destitute Bayou Group investors Sam Israel screwed back in the day): in 2004, desperate to raise money to save his fund, the industry's biggest M*A*S*H fan turned to a man named Robert Booth Nichols for help in the dollars and cents department, and was himself conned out of $10 million.
According to Bloomberg, Nichols cheated Israel in a "prime bank" fraud, promising Egret Boy "quick riches in secret markets" that did not in fact exist. Now a not yet on the lam Nichols is being sued. The original Con Man, who denies any wrongdoing, claims that he was helping Israel invest in a "legitimate, though unspecified 'project' involving U.S. government obligations," and had "no reason to believe Israel was engaging in fraud."
Not saying Nichols isn't full of shit but, as you may recall, Sam Israel is said to have believed in time travel, and before the hours got crazy over at his Ponzi-scheme, spent nights and weekends building a Delorean in his basement, which he at one point claimed to have been working on for the government. Oh, and Nichols also says that his services, which "involved matters of national interest," had been given the okay John P. Ellis, "a first cousin of President Bush."
So anyway…if your brain hasn't yet exploded, take some time this afternoon to try and dig up Nichols's business card. It has got to be as least as valuable as Israel's, and if the stories that Con Man #1 liked to get even friskier when it came to a love of plumage that dared not speak its name and their subsequent renderings on his b-card than #2, perhaps more so.
Bayou's Israel Was Cheated in Scam, Investigator Says [Bloomberg]
Samuel Israel III
He grew the beard for the egret and the verdict? The egret likes. [NYT]
CNBC reports that Sam Israel III, the convicted former hedge fund manager who no one believed committed suicide after he failed to show up to start serving a 20-year sentence for defrauding clients of a bunch o' money, has been taken into custody in Southwick, Massachusetts. The industry's biggest M*A*S*H fan apparently surrendered himself to authorities at 9:30 this morning. Finally, we're going to find out if the unknown tattoo on the Bayou Group founder's hip is a. two egrets having sex b. two egrets having a type of sex that is illegal in 38 states or c. a depiction of interspecies sex between a human and a bird (participants: Sam Israel and egret). While we wait for more info to come out, someone riddle me this: do conjugal visits have to be between one human and another or are the rules flex enough to include feathered friends? Interested parties would like to know.
It's going to be a great day and let me tell you why: Page Six reports that not-dead former hedge fund manager Samuel Israel believed in time travel and before the hours got crazy over at his Ponzi-scheme, spent nights and weekends building his very own Delorean. According to a trader who worked with Israel in the mid-90's, Sammy-boy "brought two of my friends from Wall Street into his basement and showed them the contraption [which he said he working on for the government]." We're not even going to run a poll asking you to pinpoint exactly where the industry's biggest M*A*S*H fan shipped off to, because it's patently obvious. A time and place where the interspecies love between a man and an egret is accepted.
Fled To Past [NYP]
The U.S. Marshals Service is still hot on the trail of Sam Israel III, the convicted former hedge fund manger who no one believes committed suicide. A wanted poster from last week noted that the industry's biggest M*A*S*H fan has two tattoos, one on his left arm and one on his hip. Today brings word that the arm ink is that of a bird, though it doesn't say what kind. Those of you on (fake) suicide watch, however, will recall that Israel's business card also had a bird on it. Not being ordained ornithologists ourselves, at the time, we guessed it was a pelican. Oh how wrong we were. Luckily, one of you dabbles in bird porn and did not give us a free pass. To the guy who dressed me down with the comment, "egret [bitch]…it's an egret…[get it fucking right, you stupid whore]," please come forward and dazzle us with further displays of your intellectual plumage. Completely sincerely: you are (intentionally or unintentionally) the funniest person on this thing. I just wanted to tell you that. Moving on.
Putting two and two together, we feel confident the bird tattoo on Israel's arm is that of an e to the gret, which he clearly fetishizes. But what in god's name is the tattoo on his hip? What is so deviant that it needs to be concealed from the public? We have some good leads, but we and the U.S. Marshals would like your input. So:
The U.S. Marshals Service told Bloomberg this afternoon that re: convicted hedge fund manager Sam Israel, "suicide has been ruled out," and that the industry's biggest M*A*S*H fan has been declared a fugitive. A spokeswoman for Manhattan U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia declined to comment on why Israel's status had been changed, though clearly it was because everyone's finally come around to accept the fact that Israel's "suicide note" was not the work of a man desperate enough to off himself, but one who'd been trawling IMDB for week to find the perfect (ly transparent) "sign off." Obviously, this has done wonders for the potential riches of the individual auctioning Israel's business card on eBay, which is now up to $41 from Friday's $6.

U.S. Dismisses Israel Suicide; Calls Him a Fugitive [Bloomberg]
We spoke with the U.S. Marshall's office earlier and, sadly, at this time, they've yet to put a bounty on Samuel Israel III's head, but at least one enterprising vulture stands to make some dosh off of the hedge fund industry's biggest M*A*S*H fan. An unidentified seller from Islip, New York has put what he claims is an authentic Israel business card on eBay. The current bid is up to $6.00, and the auction ends June 19. In our professional opinion, the card looks pretty legit, though also extremely easy to fake, provided you've got some pelicans in your clip art file. As luck would have it, we do, and will be printing up dozens of these bad boys in an attempt to defraud anyone looking to bid on a little piece of history. Just like Sam would've wanted it.

MANGALORE: It is going to be a sop opera potential investors planning to invest in Karnataka post GIM 2012 will find hard to resist. In a tacit admission that Karnataka has failed to woo investors enough through sops to set shop here and add to economic prosperity of the region, state is ready to extend a slew of incentives and concessions for projects worth Rs 250 crore coming outside Bangalore. MRPL here is expected to be one such beneficiary.
With planned investment in the region of Rs 15,000 in the phase III of its project, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd, a subsidiary of ONGC, is all set to get a major chunk of the sops over and above those announced in the State Industrial Policy. Dropping broad hints at the proposed sops, CM DV Sadananda Gowda said this is inevitable given that neighbouring states are wooing potential investors with sops far greater than what state is giving.
CM told TOI here that the state has been a tad slow in reaching out to needs of industrialists compared to states such as Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh who are offering nearly 100% sops. Pointing to the case of MRPL, CM said their phase III investment would have a major bearing on economic progress of the coastal district from which he hails. "We are largely going to consider their request for VAT deferment for a period of 18-years," CM said.
Sops to MRPL is nothing new. The company received Rs 40 crore per annum tax holiday for 11 years for its phase I in mid 1990s and deferment in payment of central sales tax (CST). For phase II, MRPL received entry tax exemption on crude oil and CST exemption in early 2000. MRPL for its phase III had sought Rs 500 crore of VAT deferment, abolition of entry tax on crude, CST exemption and one time exemption of entry tax on capital goods.
Their turnover starts once their production starts, and the state's economy stands to benefit in the longer run once the tax holiday ends, CM reasoned. Informed sources in MRPL told TOI that they are yet to receive any official communication from the government regarding their requests for tax sops and may do so once GIM is over. The sops given to MRPL for phase I is almost over and phase II would be over few years down the line, the sources pointed.

Violence in the mining sector down there is fairly common, especially when
dealing with labor or indigenous issues. Also, Chiapas has a lot of issues
with things like militant groups and peasant advocacy groups.
Canadian mine staff questioned in activist's slaying
Last Updated: Thursday, December 3, 2009 | 5:59 PM ET Comments65Recommend81
The Associated Press
The killing of an anti-mining activist by a motorcycle gunman has led
investigators to question staff at a Canadian-owned mine in southern
Mexico, a spokesman for the company said Wednesday.
Mariano Abarca Robledo was shot in the head and chest on Friday in the
town of Chicomuselo, near the Guatemalan border, said Gustavo Castro, an
activist who worked with Abarca Robledo organizing opposition to barite
mining in the region.
A spokesman for Calgary-based Blackfire Exploration Ltd. said the company
had no involvement in the death. He spoke on condition of anonymity,
citing advice from his attorney.
The spokesman said Blackfire has asked the Canadian Embassy in Mexico to
intervene after receiving allegations that their Chiapas mine employees
were being attacked and beaten in response to the killing.
Canadian Embassy spokeswoman Gabriela Hernandez in Mexico City said that
Canada "regrets this act of violence but the Embassy of Canada is not
involved in the investigation. It is a matter for Mexican officials."
Robledo feared for his life
Activists said that Abarca Robledo feared for his life and recently told
police that Blackfire mine officials had threatened him.
"This murder dramatically illustrates the terrible situation that
confronts human rights advocates both in the state of Chiapas and the rest
of the country," said Marie-Dominik Langlois, who heads the non-profit
Montreal-based Committee for Human Rights in Latin America, a group that
monitors labour practices of Canadian mining firms.
In Chiapas, the Fray Bartolome de Las Casas Center for Human Rights issued
a statement condemning Abarca Robledo's murder. The statement said Abarca
Robledo was sitting in a van in front of his home on Friday night, talking
to a friend when a motorcyclist passing by opened fire.
"We demand that the Mexican government immediately end all acts of
aggression and start protecting defenders of human rights," the statement
The southern state of Chiapas, rich in oil and gas, was opened to mining
concessions about 10 years ago by the federal government.
The leases, mostly held by Canadian firms, have been challenged by
residents who are concerned about environmental damage and say they have a
right to their own land.

Gear Question
I was at the local board shop and was...
I was at the local board shop and was talking about my EX's i picked up for my Park Pickle. the Tech. was telling me how he had used ride bindings and loved them but shortly realized that due to thier all metal frame they would not allow the board to have true flex and soon it would warp the board. Now, the Union Cadets have the cusion between the board and binding. could i make my own cusion to put between my binding and board without loosing function?
Think about this--- Isn't a snowboard designed to be "warped"? We just call it a different name, "flex". That tech hasn't thought about it at all! Now, as Union (and Forum) claims there may be a little more dead board space when using bindings that don't have a split baseplate (Forum Shaka) or specially shaped baseplate (Union). But have a look at the EX baseplate and look at how rounded and removed the edges are. They do that to allow enough room for the board to flex in its natural arc and also to prevent cracking.
ALSO, consider that the Unions are not just a standard binding with foam glued onto its baseplate. EVERYTHING is considered in the design and engineering to make it perform well but also to keep it SAFE. If you want the Union feel then get Union bindings, someone would undoubtedly buy your EX from you. cheers...

Sanjeev Rajput surprised Gagan Narang to win the second trials in air rifle by a 0.8 points on Tuesday.
Rajput had given a hint about his superb form in the 10-metre event when he finished second in the first trial behind Narang.
Though it was Narang who topped the qualifiers with a total of 625, Rajput, who was 1.2 points behind, got off to a strong start in the final taking a one-point lead after six shots. However, Narang caught up and gained the lead after 12 shots in the 20-shot final.
But, with the last six shots, Rajput gathered 63.1 to 61.4 by Narang. Interestingly, both wound up with shots of 10.
Narang uncharacteristically slipped towards the finish, while Rajput came up with shots of 10.7, 10.8, 10.6, 10.7 that clinched the issue in his favour before the last shot.
Ravi Kumar was a surprise third ahead of World and Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra, who had to bow out despite a 10.8 last shot, 0.2 points behind Kumar. National champion Chain Singh was fifth, ahead of Mahesh Kumar, Akhil Sheoran and Sachin Chavan.
In women's 50-metre rifle 3-position event, national champion Tejaswini Sawant shot a total of 452.3 in the 45-shot final, as she outclassed the field and beat the winner of the first trial Meena Kumari, by 8.7 points.
Meena had topped the qualifiers with a total of 582 as against 575 by Tejaswini. World champion in prone, Tejaswini shot ahead during the 15 shots in prone in the final, and continued to sail with the momentum in the standing position.
Utkarsha Sharotiya finished third ahead of K.C. Hema, Shika Dhal and Lajja Gauswami.
In men's 25-metre standard pistol, Mahendar Singh and Amanpreet Singh topped with 567.

Teachers everywhere have found that book making has the power to motivate even the most reluctant writers. By combining illustrations and texts, children engage in a kind of communication that transcends the sum of its parts-their pictures and words interact to convey a new level of meaning.
In Pictures & Words Together, Paul Johnson addresses important questions about the process: What do children learn through illustrating their texts? How do texts and illustrations "work" together? He shows how preschool and primary students can be taught to create books that fuse their writing and drawing in profound ways. He offers advice on helping children think about the most effective ways to blend text and pictures, draw the characters and settings for their narratives, and publish their books using simple cutting, folding, and binding techniques.
Filled with practical suggestions for teaching and evaluation, as well as abundant examples of children's work, this book is essential reading for those who want to enrich the writing and visual communication experience for children.

.- Archbishop of Bombay, Cardinal Ivan Dias, has been appointed Prefect of the Congregation of the Evangelization of the Peoples at the Vatican. He will continue as administrator of the archdiocese of Bombay until he leaves to take over his responsibilities at the Vatican.
Born in Bandra, Cardinal Dias, 70, was ordained a priest in 1958 and has held several senior diplomatic positions for the Vatican over the last 33 years, the first being the secretary of the Apostolic Nunciatures in Scandinavian and Nordic countries, Indonesia and Madagascar.
He also worked as chief of desk in the Vatican for many countries in Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia and was a papal representative in Ghana, Togo, Benin, South Korea and Albania. He was appointed archbishop of Bombay in 1996 and made a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in 2001.
The Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, founded in 1622, is the Vatican's department entrusted with the coordination of programs aimed at spreading the gospel in territories where Christianity is still young.
Cardinal Dias will lead one of the most important ministries in the Roman curia, and for this is popularly known as the "red father". He is in charge of Asia, Africa and Oceania. This means 1,047 bishoprics (171 archdiocese and 744 diocese, as well a deputy bishoprics, the apostolic administrations and apostolic prefectures).
Cardinal Dias speaks 18 languages and is a very brave man, capable of challenging, as he has done, organized crime in Albania, where John Paul II sent him in 1991 to reorganize the Catholic church.
Cardinal Dias replaces Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, who has been appointed archbishop of Naples, himself succeeding Cardinal Michele Giordano, whose resignation from the pastoral care of the same archdiocese, the Holy Father accepted, upon having reached the age limit.

July 6 (Bloomberg) -- European stress tests may show that 26 rated banks of the 91 lenders being examined by the European Banking Authority could need financial support, Moody's Investors Service said today.
"Moody's believes that 26 rated banks have a heightened risk of needing extraordinary external support, as indicated by their non-investment-grade standalone credit strength," the ratings company said in a statement. "Moody's expects the banks that fail the EBA stress test will be among those lower-rated banks, or among the non-rated banks included in the EBA stress test."
Ninety-one banks will be expected to maintain a Core Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 5 percent under the stress-test scenarios, the EBA has said. This year's exams, which may be published as soon as next week, will include a review of how lenders would handle a 0.5 percent economic contraction in the euro area in 2011, a 15 percent drop in European equity markets as well as possible trading losses on sovereign debt.
"The stress test of European banks is likely to have limited rating implications and should have a variety of positive effects for banks," such as prompting several banks to strengthen their capital, Moody's said.
Other benefits include the planned disclosure of banks' sovereign exposures -- even though they fail to examine a national default -- and the insight the tests give into regulators' assessment of banks' capital positions, Moody's said.

Mortgage REIT Meltdown, I Told You So [View article]
ChannelAdvisor Data Springs Large Negative Surprise For Amazon.com [View article]
And if you dont think a $80 billion hit or so (a major erosion in share value) wouldn't hit the media you are dreaming, hell they get into extended debates in DC for less than that any more. Sure it can happen, fortunately I do not believe in any company that much to go down with a sinking ship like that. AMZN got where they are because they do what do pretty well, and like any business, if you don't like them, don't use them. I see no metrics visioning an overall decline in internet shopping, helll look at most of your local commercial real estate and retail with vacancies to tell you where the market is going. There are still way too many brick and mortar vacancies in retail.
I don't need an upside on AMZN to make money on them, I am seeking decent companies to park some money on, work with some options on, and know what I am getting without the spear chuckers in the blogosphere causing major ruckus. I will stand by my earlier remarks that blogosphere comments have a lot of bearing on a share price the next day in the market any more, perhaps more than they should. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it is where they hold themselves as having as some particular expertise that the reviews are needed. -
ChannelAdvisor Data Springs Large Negative Surprise For Amazon.com [View article]
I don't expect $AMZN to surge but I sure don't expect a collapse any time soon either with a $126 billion market cap company. Put it this way, they go under this whole country is in deep doo doo.
Seeking Alpha seems to have these analysts out here sometimes that throw out bombs in the blogosphere/twitterverse and try to come off as authoritative. That can have a pronounced effect on small cap companies for sure, but much harder to effect a large cap with some random comments. It also surprises me how much people parrot along what others post. In any event, to me it is a lot safer from an investment side to head towards large cap, since random Seeking Alpha type blogosphere comments seldom add value any more to me. And everyone is always right in Twitterverse, reminds me very much of Facebook that way with self promotion.
Any stock can and will come down eventually. If one is fearful of volatility declines like this, then one shouldn't go long. -

Avoid Armour Residential [View article]
This is a challenging environment, and I promise you anyone who thinks they can outsmart the market on a consistent basis is an utter fool. Do your due diligence, invest how you are comfortable, there are no right or wrong ways to know in advance what's really going to happen, since none of us can see the future, rely on what you know about your companies and their management and hope for the best. I prefer management who can stand up and be accountable to the shareholders at the periodic meetings, since naturally they work for us. And external news events and Fed policy can chill markets faster than anything even if everything was properly reviewed. Good luck and happy investing! -
Avoid Armour Residential [View article]
While I enjoyed the gimmick of monthly dividends, it was not enough to incentivize me to stay with them since capital losses on the share value exceeded any return of capital ARR is doing, what they call a dividend payout. I was stunned to see ARR selling in the 6.20s now, in a record setting S&P 500 environment. I realize other mREITs aren't doing all that great either, but at least most seem to be holding their BV or improving a bit. I think TWO is walking on water at the moment, and i have a put in on TWO as it is my opinion a market correction is coming soon when they announce Q1 dividends. Don't get me wrong, I like TWO and have been a past investor and may get back in at some point later. But TWO is way over BV and continues to levitate, this is a significant bubble forming. When it pops, I will jump in with a call option after the market corrects to capture the dividend affect of the price runup with the dividend cycle, whatever the amount is. The YE dividend for TWO of .55 was already telegraphed as not sustainable by TWO management, yet the MV continues to rise high..
I am learning that many of these mREITs deserve put options in the off-quarter months when they tend to do SPOs. I am actively researching put opportunities on the entire mREIT sector for that reason, including the beloved AGNC. I don't agree why the MV should behave as it does with these SPOs, but it does what it does and I may as well attempt to profit to anticipate SPOs. Share prices do not always appreciate as we know. I wish I had placed a long put option in on ARR a few months ago, seeing what is going on today, and I still may depending on the pricing of the put option premiums.
mREIT preferreds are an underappreciated way to get access to some relatively reliable income, even if at a lower yield than equities that play games with SPOs and dividend cuts to hurt existing investors. Transparency is huge here as this is all we investors have. AGNC is a model for how an mREIT should perform with shareholder communication and investor confidence building. I was struck by some of the comments from other investors at how opaque ARR management is from their experience by comparison. And if there is any whiff of a chance JMI is being looted to help continue this adverse environment, that harms potential investors more. ARR better step back and look at what investors are saying, because I am seeing a large loss of investor confidence (not just me), reflecting at how the shares are tanking in the market at the moment. -

How Safe Are The High Yields Of Financial REITs? [View article]
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder declared Detroit to be in a state of emergency on Friday and said he would appoint an outside manager to help turn around its dire finances, which include $14B in long-term liabilities. City officials have ten days to persuade Snyder to change his mind. Should he uphold his decision, it would be the latest step in attempts to prevent Detroit filing what would be the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. [View news story]
Naturally, it only takes a few dominos like Detroit to rattle the entire financial system, with hyperspeed in reporting with online sources and fear running rampant at times with skittish investors. There are not many governments who are solvent in western civilization, they are afraid of contagion for a very good reason. Derivatives continue to be a house of cards that can blow away fast, as they did in 2008. -
How Safe Are The High Yields Of Financial REITs? [View article]
JohnWayne, if you could provide your source where TWO said .20 of the dividend was related to Silver Bay in this thread, I would appreciate it. I suspected it was related to the goofiness at year-end with special dividends and the tax stuff related to fiscal cliff, and wanting their cake and eating it too with having the dividend reflected in 2012 financials but not wanting to say it was that.
To TWO long investors at this time, you better be ready for a price correction when TWO comes clean about this soon. You will take a hit on this with a value reduction. It is not a 17-18% yielder, the CEO has come out and essentially said that recently. When the shakeout completes, and the true dividend and share price are determined, I may well get back in, but I will let the existing long investors take the loss first with the price correction that is coming up.
I am long AGNC and will likely become long TWO later in March for the reasons described above, and after TWO announcement about their plans for the Q1 dividend. -
Offerings Continue At American Capital Agency Corp. [View article]
I challenge your assertion that shareholder value is being diluted. The BV historical metrics don't necessarily back that assertion up, and remember you are getting most of the earnings back if you are a long AGNC investor, even if they have to get cut a little. They also prop up BV if needed by cutting the dividends. Most analysis I am seeing continues that AGNC continues to have high max cash flow position compared to its mREIT peers.
I am looking into long call options and select protective puts or I may just keep things as is, and it depends on how expensive puts get versus just dumping the shares if i get 'spooked' like my peer investors. My fellow investors annoy me sometimes with their expectations, with sounding alarms and concerns that are utterly misplaced. I think most investors think they are as smart as the Wall Street insiders that think they can get rich quickly and vent on forums like this when they don't. You are entitled to your opinion, but if you express that hogwash in SA, you are in a position to be challenged. -

I am impressed with their efforts to lengthen the average duration of their REPOs locking in low financing rates for the longer haul along with being proactive on interest rate swaps and swaptions to hedge the portfolio. AGNC protects BV for the investors in sophisticated ways, and are constantly vigilant for new threats and responses to the business model. This is what we are paying them for, and trusting with our capital.
If you are content with bond yields, go for it. I am not, and when you consider that union pension interests will usually prevail in a bankruptcy over bondholders, I am not exactly sure what the appeal is for bonds in many cases with puny yields. But hey I'm glad there are bondholders, and strong demand. They help keep general interest rates down, and that does not crush me in the least. -
Reduce Or Eliminate Taxes On American Capital Agency, Other REITS [View article]
Other things being equal, once your basis is established in a Roth and you have paid your appropriate taxes to get the balances to the Roth, earnings on those assets inside a Roth are tax-free. The major consideration normally is the tax hit with the conversion of IRA funds to Roth and the loss of earning power on the taxes paid when we have the decision to convert balances to a Roth. There is no significance as to whether it is an mREIT or any other security inside the IRA, Uncle Sam wants to know when you are taking distributions. Once more, contact your tax advisor for expertise and guidance if you aren't fully familiar with all of this. -
Prospect Capital: A Solid Choice For Monthly Income [View article]
ARR has fallen into disfavor lately with some investors, but honestly I could care less what the investment community in general feels, as long as they continue their dividends, I am with them as a low cost 14% plus dividend yield monthly payer (as I am a long term dividend investor). I am in on JMI as well, who is run by the ARR management team. ARR slipped with some this time when they did an SPO, but I am learning to discount the angst the swing traders like to vent when an mREIT does an SPO to promote or expand the business. Until they cut dividends, to me it is to improve or expand the business as they say in their filings. ARR has cut some recently, but still at 14% div yield at this time. The dividend yield needs to come down a lot more than that for me to jettison out of the position. I'll keep collecting regular monthly checks from ARR and JMI in the meantime, thank you very much.
