Growing Cash Mountains, Will Corporations Stop Hoarding and Pay Out? / Companies / Investing 2013
By: Profit_Confidential
Mitchell Clark writes:Corporations, like investors everywhere, are very reticent about current business conditions. They have been this way for years. And they have way too much cash, which is why dividends have been increasing.

The Truth About The Impact Of Stocks Dividend Reinvesting / Companies / Dividends

Biotechs Stocks with Staggering Profit Potential / Companies / BioTech

The Life Sciences Report: Grant, you've been on both the buyside and the sellside. Today you're an analyst at Zacks, a noninvestment bank firm that does not have to solicit business from the companies on which it performs due diligence and research. Is there an advantage for investors in this research model?

Agriculture the Key to Real Stock Portfolio Growth? / Companies / Agricultural Commodities
By: Profit_Confidential
If you’ve ever been into horses, you know that you can spend as much money as you’ve got—and plenty more—on their care. Personally, I like draft horses; Clydesdales, in particular.

Agriculture, as an investment theme, is consistently on my mind, but it is a stock market sector that is limited. The marketplace is dominated by only a handful of companies. There aren’t a lot of publicly traded agriculture stocks that would be considered mid-cap; the same goes for small-cap companies.
