A good stock for monthly dividends

Main Street capital (NYSE:MAIN) is a steady stock that yields 7.4 % monthly. I like monthly dividends because I reinvest my money into more of that share which grows my earnings slightly faster than an annual or quarterly yield. MAIN is a business development company (BDC), which means it loans money to small, fast-growing private companies for interest and an equity stake. If a company in its loan portfolio gets bought out or goes public, MAIN gets a piece of the action. By law, BDCs have to pay out 90% of their taxable income to their shareholders, making them an asset class custom-made for income investors.

Busy week

This week is a busy week for me so I am sorry if I am not posting everyday this week. It just takes time for me to make analysis's, and right now I don't have a lot of time. Instead I will post more videos that I like, because they do not take a lot of time.

Please disregard my last post

It was just released today that it appears Oryon was not only just a promo stock but it does not even have a source of income, and was apparently a mining company about 3 months ago, according to this article . Although I did do research on Oryon and it seemed like a legit company with a legit source of income, it just goes to show that you can't always trust these sources. Chances are if you get stock recommendations in email or type the company name into Google, and a whole bunch of reports come up saying how much you can earn, it is most likely a scam. Although you can make returns in the first couple of days with all the hype, but you will only see it crash eventually. Sorry for my recommendation and this is why you should always do your own research before you make a purchasing decision.

For you penny stock lovers

Some of the biggest money-making stocks I’ve seen in my lifetime emerged from obscurity to global dominance. That’s exactly the potential I see in Oryon Technologies, Inc., (OTCQB: ORYN) today.

After nine years of product research and development,Oryon Technologies, Inc., has taken its breakthrough invention (ELastoLite), patented it every way imaginable (65 patents to date), and is now preparing it for market on a global scale. Read the article here

A stock that benefits from falling natural gas prices

Lower feedstock costs made Terra very profitable in 2011. The company's income more than doubled to $508 million compared with the previous year, and EPS soared to $15.33 from $8.01.Terra Nitrogen Co. LP (NYSE: TNH) is a fertilizer producer benefiting from falling gas prices because natural gas is used to make fertilizer. Farmers got an early start this year due to the mild winter which has increased demand and made fertilizer prices rise and supply become tight. Distributions per share nearly tripled from $5.01 in 2010 to $13.91 in 2011, and Terra has declared a first-quarter 2012 distribution of $4.53 ($18.12 annualized). The company has no long-term debt, a remarkable 100% 12-month return on assets (ROA) and cash flow that exceeds $29 a share. Terra has produced a 17% growth in the last 5 years and has yields around 8.5%. In the past eyar the share price is up nearly 60% and it still has a good yield.

The Facebook of China

After Facebook`s failed IPO and having lawyers currently sorting out Facebook`s troubles other social network companies have been knocked down into bargain territory. One of those companies is RenRen (Nasdaq:RENN). This so called Facebook of China almost doubled in 2012 before Facebook`s flop, but with the Facebook sell-off this stock dropped to around $4. The price now appears to be more stabilized and will probably start climbing higher.The company is sitting on $1.04 billion in net cash which works out to be $2.65 per share. They could use this money to pay dividends or buy out smaller social media networks that may have an entirely different and lucrative social media avenue. Also this company is pursuing partnerships aggressively. It will partner with Intel for network assistance and Japans popular photo application , SnapDish. I think the future looks good for RenRen, and I have added them to my own portfolio. 

A deep value stock you don't want to ignore

Century Aluminum (Nasdaq: CENX) is a good buy right now for a long term investment. Spot aluminum is at a price of about $0.90 a pound and are leading to significant industry output cuts, which will ultimately benefit the price in the future. Currently the industry is in bad times, and Century Aluminum's market value has fallen about 50% in the past year to a recent $625 million, even though it holds around 1 billion in tangible book value on its balance sheet. Even in these bad times for aluminium Century Aluminum's free cash flow will still be around $0.90 a share for this year, according to analysts at Goldman Sachs. They also anticipate a modest rebound in aluminium in the next couple years, which should help free cash flow hit around $1.30 per share by the year 2014. So as of right now with the $7 stock price Century Aluminium looks like a very good deal.
