That's all I currently own.

[bar1080]

You saying your only real estate has been one home in California and one home in Arizona?

"My homes in Arizona and California aren't really investments even though I have owned them long enough to have gained equity in them even with the downturn of the real estate market. They are both places that I live in and that is the primary reason that I own them."

[Investorman]

AOD wouldn't even get a passing interest from me but I don't like mutual funds except for broad index funds like the S&P 500 or the Wilshire 5000. Those are safer for most people who don't want to put time into research (not sure why anyone wouldn't be interested enough in their investments to not put some time in) and want a reasonably safe place to put their money for 20 or 30 years.

I generally like medium size ($1 billion - $5 billion in revenues) that have a proven track record and have room for growth while paying a reasonable dividend. (2% - 3% annually). I am not a get rich quick type of investor and typically like companies that I intend on holding for 20 years or more unless something about them changes. This method has served me well over the past 40 years so I see no reason to change it.

[Investorman]

Oil trusts aren't stocks in the same sense that regular stocks in companies are. I am aware that they have a finite life and that the returns on them are dependant on the price of oil.

I never had any intention of holding MVO until the end of the life of the trust. At this point I am planning on holding it until the price of oil spikes again or to around 2015 - 2016 whichever comes first depending on what is going on with it.

I also have an interest in SDT which is a similar investment. These are not necessarily for everyone. I have a lot more information on these than is available on Seeking Alpha. These are more like owning an interest in a well. Eventually the well will go dry but the idea is to make a profit while the well is pumping oil. Oil trusts aren't "story" stocks - they are just investments that the primary return is through the returns they pay from the profits they get from pumping oil. If they don't make a profit from selling the oil then you have a bad investment.

My homes in Arizona and California aren't really investments even though I have owned them long enough to have gained equity in them even with the downturn of the real estate market. They are both places that I live in and that is the primary reason that I own them.

[bar1080]

IHUB is about "playing" garbage. The usual investment duration is from PR to PR. For me the tomfoolery is entertainment. I've never put a cent in anything pumped here. But I've learned and profited from studying IHUB mentality.

It's interesting to me that even retirement-type NYSE income stocks are spun here. You can see that with the AOD board. Several there refuse to discuss the downside which is that the fancy dividend isn't sustainable and may come from eating up capital. Similarly with MVO I'm about the only one mentioning its termination. Discussion reminds me of when all the HRCT fans tried so hard to please "doc" even as he was walking out the backdoor! Remember that disgusting "Loyalty" competition?

The MVO div apparently includes substantial return of capital, and even that will end as soon as 2026. It HAS been a great investment. Certainly better than California/Arizona homes. But the future is very difficult to predict. And the "story" is much more complex than the latest fat dividend check.

For a good learned discussion of MVO's pros and CONS read:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/244415-what-does-2011-have-in-store-for-mv-oil-trust

[Investorman]

First, MVO isn't a "fund." Its life is finite but the current payout depends primarily on the price of oil. Depending on your view of future oil prices it isn't particulary risky any more than any other stock is.

Most "funds" of any kind are usually crappy investments. They are designed to make fund managers wealthy not the shareholders. Their only saving grace is that they spread risk over a number of companies but that usually results in poor returns on your investment money.

As far as MVO is concerned, I will have earned my entire original investment back in dividends in about another 18 months. At that point the stock price will be pure profit.

If the price of oil drops drastically then the dividend for oil trusts like MVO will not be sustainable but that is what the investment is in. I think that in the very short term oil might fall to $70 a barrel but in the next couple of years it is likely to go up to around $100 a barrel. I recognize the risk and it is an acceptable one for the return I expect to get.

[bar1080]

I despise "geezer" ultra high dividend investments so much that I recently took over an IHUB board for one of the most questionable of them:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/Alpine-Total-Dynamic-Dividend-CEF-AOD-15993/
Note the professionally laid out IBOX and links to some useful articles.

The current stampede to unsustainable dividends by retirees may have an ugly ending reminiscent of the tech bubble and crash. I already see many dividend CEFs badly lagging the stodgy SPY ETF (or even the dividend-focused SDY) in overall performance.

[bar1080]

Damn, my old posts were good, like this one from 2010!

"determining the termination date isnt easy. makes me wonder what else is lurking in that complex filing. mvo will be steadily less valuable as time goes by >>> trust termination approaches and there will be less oil in the ground. double whammy.

looks like a 'made for old geezers product.' overly complex with goodies up front and 'bad stuff' down the way. some ivy league mbas got paid well to create this

what about ongoing fees? there are ALWAYS fees >>> layer after layer of them. starting with those banks and trust companies?"

[Investorman]

And at today's price I am up more than 60% from my cost basis.

[Investorman]

At today's price the yield is 12.78%. Since I am in it at a cost basis below $18, my yield is much higher.

The price of MVO moves with the price of oil. Expect a short term downward trend while the price of oil moves towards $70 but look for a strong upward trend when the price of oil moves back towards $100.

How about those T-Bills? Lose money every year since the yield is below the rate of inflation.

[bar1080]

Unless MVO plummets 30%!

[bar1080]

Interesting study of the effectiveness of investing courses like those offered in most colleges. People who take them have actually done worse with their money than those who never took a course.

That doesn't surprise me. I presume those who haven't studied investing stick with cash in the bank which has done far better than stocks since 1999.

I suppose it's like people who have taken an intro course in Karate. They learned just enough to get their brains beaten out. Better that they used that time to train for running (away).

[bar1080]

IHUB/RB never discussed many damn good investments... especially if they were safe and boring.

In the 80s EE savings bonds paid 7.5%. Around 1990 they paid 6%. I always say they're quadruple A rated. There were times years ago when those rates were quite competitive, plus they are exempt from state and local taxes. Income taxes could be deferred until redeemed. There were no commissions to buy or redeem them.

Nowadays those old EE bonds are wonderful investments.

When they matured after about 10 years, Congress didn't want people cashing them in so they continued to pay 4% interest. Since they can be cashed in anytime, they are like a money market fund that pays 4%.

Fair to say that 99% of IHUB "Players" would have been better off with EE bonds than the stocks they bought.

[Investorman]

Even at today's stock price the yield is 9.34% annually which isn't exactly peanuts.

[Investorman]

I wish I would have put all my eggs in this basket.... Hindsight and all that but I am not complaining since I did get in on it early.

[MrBankRoll]

Hell yeah! At 4.08 my original shares were getting a yield of 25%.

Figure in the dividends over the last 2 1/2 years and my cost basis is 6.32. Whats that? A yield of 65%? :~)

Shoulda put a whole lot more eggs into this basket.......

[Investorman]

Sadly, you are correct. The really good stocks don't get much interest while the penny scams attact people wanting to get rich quick when they would have made a lot more money by buying quality like MVO.

Human nature I suppose...

[Investorman]

LOL. Nice come-back. MVO doing OK today, I'm expecting a declare for next divie no later than next week. Since last one fell by a dime, it had hurt MVO. Hopefully this next one will be back up. It's nice that they only have 1 week between declare and ex-div.

[bar1080]

There are no otcbb or pink averages but I suspect 2011 was especially brutal for IHUB's core penny "players." Actually Pennyland hasn't had a nice year since 1998. It hasn't helped that stock gamblers were often taking chances with their homes and other real estate. Borrowing on home equity. So they were especially hard hit by the RE bust.

Many penny players are nearing retirement age. IHUB's demographics are much like the those of horse tracks with lower-middle class old geezers living off Social Security and lucky to buy gas for their rusting Crown Victoria. Horse tracks are in trouble everywhere.

[johnsyn]

BAR1080, I can agree with you on the point that any S&P 500 or a majority of decent stocks, REITS, trusts, have minimal following, vs. pennystock.

Ihub has been changing itself more into a social website than an investor one. More and more non-stock threads are popping up, I've even had to ask ADMIN to remove a thread that was called "(blank) looking for a woman", because he named it with a symbol that was an actual AMEX symbol, and the site would not let me start the stock thread since the symbol was in use.

There are many more stocks I am interested in that do not have threads, but I have started so many, became moderator so I could set up the ibox as informative as possible, that I just can't start more threads. Good Luck to You, and hopefully any IHUB thread you take a look at, has some intelligent and informative postings.

MVO, a real winner, has zero following on IHUB. I'm certainly not surprised. For years I've said these penny sites are worthless for investing info. I use IHUB only as a contrarian indicator.

Oil rises to near $87 as Obama speech awaited
Oil up to near $87 in Europe amid rising equities, weaker dollar, Obama speech expectations
YAHOO FINANCES

September 7, 2011, 8:09 am
Oil prices rose to near $87 a barrel Wednesday amid a strong rebound in equity markets, a weaker dollar and hopes that President Barack Obama will announce new economic support measures in a major policy speech later this week.

By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark oil for October delivery was up 72 cents to $86.74 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude fell 43 cents to settle at $86.02 on Tuesday.

In London, Brent crude for October delivery was up 10 cents at $112.99 on the ICE Futures exchange.

Crude has traded between $80 and $90 for the last month -- down from near $115 in May -- as investors worry a sluggish U.S. economy and high unemployment rate will stymie consumer demand. Obama is scheduled Thursday to announce new government measures to create jobs and spur economic growth.

Europe's debt crisis has also weighed on oil prices and equities this week but stock markets in Asia and Europe were up significantly on Wednesday, rising at least 2 percent in several locations.

"Investors have clearly become more concerned that the global economy may be sliding back to recession," Citigroup said in a report. "We don't believe this will turn into a rerun of 2007-2008."

A weaker dollar helped boost oil prices by making crude cheaper for investors holding other currencies.

The euro was up to $1.4059 from $1.3991 late Tuesday in New York, while dollar was down to 77.17 yen from 77.67 yen.

Investors will also be monitoring fresh information on U.S. stockpiles of crude and refined products.

Data for the week ending Sept. 2 is expected to show draws of 1.7 million barrels in crude oil stocks and of 900,000 barrels in gasoline stocks, according to a survey of analysts by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.

The American Petroleum Institute will release its report on oil stocks later Wednesday, while the report from the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration -- the market benchmark -- will be out on Thursday. Both reports come a day later than usual due to Monday's U.S. holiday.

One of the reasons the market is expecting falling inventory levels is the effect of Tropical Storm Lee, which caused shutdowns of oil rigs last week in the Gulf of Mexico.

"Some 60.5 percent of U.S. Gulf oil production remains shut as of midday on Tuesday in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Lee," said Edward Meir of MF Global in New York.

New storms during the hurricane season which usually winds down around the end of September, could help prop up prices in coming weeks.

"Commodity markets are still more susceptible to the downside for the moment given the preponderance of macro data coming in on the softer side of estimates," Meir said. "In energy's case, weather surprises could punctuate the downward move with short-lived upside spikes."

In other Nymex trading for October contracts, heating oil added 0.93 cent to $3.0195 per gallon and gasoline futures gained 0.79 cents to $2.8305 per gallon. Natural gas for October delivery slid 2 cents to $3.918 per 1,000 cubic feet.

The 10 Highest-Yielding Royalty Trusts

A Big Fat Guaranteed Dividend
3 Dividend Stocks for Your Watchlist

Dividend investing is popular again. Investors have taken to heart Jeremy Siegel's studies, which show that higher-yielding stocks tend to offer greater returns over time than low- or no-yield stocks.

One particular area has garnered interest over the years are royalty trusts. Investors are drawn to royalty trusts for their high yields. Royalty trusts don't pay taxes at the corporate level, so the tax burden then gets passed to the investor. One thing to consider, however, is that unlike normal operating businesses, most trusts are depleting assets. Eventually the income-producing ability of the trust will end.

The highest yields can be very tantalizing. As long as a stock yielding 15% doesn't lose value, you'll make 15% in one year! In more cases than not, however, an astronomical yield is a bad sign for a stock. Since yields and stock prices move in opposite directions, a high yield usually means that investors have begun to worry about the business and driven down its stock price.

However, certain types of companies such as royalty trusts have to pay out most of their cash flow as distributions, so their yields will be higher than "normal." Dividends are not guaranteed; you need to make sure that a business is generating enough cash to pay its dividend, or your investment could be disastrous.

I ran a screen for the highest-yielding royalty trusts. The only limitation I've set is the royalty trusts must have a market cap greater than $100 million.

Here are the top 10 highest-yielding royalty trusts the screen produced:

Company Market Cap (Millions) Yield

1 WHX $225 17.9%

2 GNI $151 12.1%

3 NRT $309 8.7%

4 BPT $2,369 8.6%

5 MVO $458 8.2%
6 PBT $969 7.9%

7ECA Marcellus Trust I $471 7.8%

8 MSB $417 7.5%

9 HGT $910 6.6%

10 San Juan Basin Royalty Trust $1,113 6.6%


Source: Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's.

These royalty trusts are a good place to start your research, but they're not formal recommendations. Remember, their seemingly irresistible yields could be ticking time bombs, so do your own due diligence. For example, Whiting USA Trust has such a high yield because the trust is winding down and expects to end operations in 2015. Also, make sure you diversify your picks across various sectors. As investors relearn every decade or so, you never want to put all your eggs in one basket -- no matter how tempting the yields are.

Two reasons to buy MV Oil Trust for income

[OilStockReport]

There is nothing wrong with being happy with your stock holdings! Its nice to hear from your positive first hand experience with this one.

[Investorman]

That would translate to about 18% on my cost basis. Not even factoring in the $22 per share gain I have, the dividends alone will return my entire investment in 3 more years!

Not bragging on this, just a happy camper on this stock. I wish everything I own had done so well.

[OilStockReport]

MVO equities yielding 8.1%

[OilStockReport]

I am enthusiastic on this one as well.

[Investorman]

I am propbably a little more enthusastic than most here since I bought MVO back at $18 a share which means I am earning a dividend of over 15% on my cost basis. Even without that I still like this investment.

[OilStockReport]

Agreed. Saw a suggestion to add it to your watch list. Thats definitely a good thing.

MV Oil Trust (NYSE: MVO )
MV Oil Trust has nearly 1,000 oil and natural gas wells in Kansas and Colorado. The company recently announced its upcoming distribution will be $0.82, for a trailing-12-month yield of 7.2%, high enough to keep the firm on the list of the highest-yielding royalty trusts. MV Oil Trust has a higher yield than competitors Penn West Petroleum (NYSE: PWE ) at 3.9% and EV Energy Partners (Nasdaq: EVEP ) with a yield of 5.4%. I like MV Oil Trust better than its competition for its high yield and exposure to rising oil prices as 98% of its proved reserves are made up of oil.

[Investorman]

It has been great for the last couple of years.

[OilStockReport]

Looks like MV Oil is paying high dividends.

MV Oil Trust (MVO): MVO is a company in the business of owning net profits interest in oil and natural gas properties. It's based in Austin, Texas. The company owns about 1,000 producing oil and gas wells. The market cap of MV Oil is $459.5 million, and P/E ratio is 14.48, while forward P/E ratio is 11.35. The company had an EPS growth of 3.63% over the last five years. With a net profit margin of 97.41% and a dividend yield of 7.11%, MV Oil Trust is a superb stock for dividend lovers
