Washington Prime Group (NYSE: WPG) has an incredibly high 27% dividend yield. That’s because the stock sports a $0.25 per share quarterly dividend but just a $3.70 share price.
That’s an awfully high yield to continue to pay out. Can Washington Prime do it?
I covered this owner and operator of shopping malls in April. At the time, the stock received a “D” rating for dividend safety. However, looks can be deceiving.
At the time, the issue was that analysts expected funds from operations (FFO), which is a measure of cash flow for real estate investment trusts (REITs), to fall.
FFO not only was …read more […]

“Big Brother” seems to follow me wherever I go.
Even when I go halfway around the world.
In the 1990s, I ventured off to Southeast Asia to run a trading company. And there was an unapologetic paternalism among the wealthy and highly educated.
While most Asian countries held elections, the majority of them were limited, highly stage-managed and often fixed. Dictatorships were common and accepted. Benign ones ruled in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. And not-so-benign ones lorded over the population in Myanmar, Cambodia, the Philippines and elsewhere.
In Indonesia, where my Asian headquarters was, the government was as ruthless as it was corrupt. But …read more […]

Inequality is rising.
Fancy new technologies are emerging that bring rapid wealth to a privileged few and only modest gains to the rest. Suddenly things are vastly different from the past, when everyone seemed more or less equal. To many, it doesn’t seem fair. And an immediate remedy is essential.
America in 2020?
Nope. The Fertile Crescent around 11,000 years ago, when the Agricultural Revolution took hold and converted bands of hunter-gatherers into settled farmers. The new technologies driving economic inequality were irrigation, pottery, and the selective breeding of cereal grasses and animals.
Interestingly, every revolution in human history that has delivered higher living …read more […]

Boeing said on Tuesday it does not expect to win approval for the return of the 737 MAX to service until mid-year due to further potential developments in the certification process and regulatory scrutiny on its flight control system. “The best news I’ve heard on the MAX grounding was yesterday, when Boeing said June-July,” Avolon chief executive Domhnal Slattery told a conference in Dublin, adding he hoped it marked the beginning of the end of the MAX crisis. …read more […]

New energy efficiency standards have been passed by every president since Ronald Reagan. These standards have been responsible for saving Americans almost $2 trillion.
In 1987, President Reagan signed the first energy conservation standards bill. It covered 12 different classes of major home appliances.
These included refrigerators, stoves, heat pumps and air conditioners. All had to meet tighter energy use standards.
Supporters of the bill talked about the savings. Others said appliance costs would skyrocket.
But appliance prices haven’t gone up as a result of new standards. It’s just the opposite.
Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that prices were 22.52% lower …read more […]
