Anybody have any comments on CMO?

I noticed it has a 22% dividend yield. Would this company be a good long term play for a Roth IRA account or should I just hold it in my individual trading account.

Is that a 22% guaranteed return up until CMO changes their dividend yield?

What am I missing.

no dividend is guaranteed. its up to the board to decide whether or not to release dividends. given slow growth and economic conditions they may lower/eliminate it. its 22% based on the last dividend, but current price...

but in general, growth stocks in roth, dividends in regular brokerage, because dividends are taxed 15% no matter wut.

if it were 22% guaranteed, everyones money would be invested in it, no need for any other investments.

Don't invest in any equity because of dividend yield. You should be more concerned with the potential for capital appreciation.

Today was GRUESOME. I had a few winners early in the day but nothing ended up for me. Sure am glad I vacated the financial sector completely!

Haven't kept up with this thread, but I've been interested in wind energy for awhile. Just put some money into a new global wind energy fund. Somewhat speculative, but not so much that I'll be worried.
GEX is a fund for alternative energy.

although I perfer to invest directly into the large wind companies....the two pure play wind companies that are the market leaders. You can find the two companies in the top holdings in the fund GEX


I also think the company that builds transmissions/gearboxes for them will also benefit....two companies produce 70% of the gearboxes....and I own one of them.


I cannot disclose these companies as they are traded on the pink sheets.
