Last week, one of my favorite income stocks issued a press release with its preliminary third-quarter results. This business development company (BDC) extended its long tenure as the best company and stock in the category. If there ever were a “buy-and-hold forever” stock, this one would be at the top of my list. Let me […]

So let’s review some pre-merger financial results and make a guess about ONEOK’s future. In May, ONEOK Inc. (OKE) and Magellan Midstream Partners (MMP) announced an agreement for […]
My newsletter investment recommendations focus on dividend or interest-paying securities. I prefer alternative asset categories for investments that don’t generate cash income. I recently started investing in casks of whiskey to earn returns from the natural value gains as whiskey ages. Let me show you why this is such an interesting way to invest… When […]
In June, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil traded in the mid-$60s. Three months later, it’s pushing $95 per barrel, with market expectations that it will soon be above $100. Due to the lag between business results and the quarterly earnings reports, it’s not too late to jump on some energy stocks for their upcoming […]
