CSX earnings:
Highlights:
•Third quarter record earnings per share of $0.52 and operating ratio of 68.3 percent
•Strong service performance
•Remain an industry leader in safety
CSX Corporation (CSX) today announced net earnings of $507 million for the third quarter of 2015, versus $509 million for the same period in 2014, which translates to a third quarter record $0.52 per share, compared to $0.51 in the prior year.
Revenue declined nine percent in the quarter, as gains in price were more than offset by the combination of lower fuel recovery, a three percent volume decline and continued transition in CSX's business mix. At the same time, expenses declined 11 percent on the collective effect of continued low fuel prices, cost reductions reflecting lower volume and savings from efficiency initiatives. The resulting $933 million in operating income drove a third quarter record operating ratio of 68.3 percent.

7:31 am Renewable Energy lowers Q3 guidance; sees production at Geismar, LA plant back on line by the end of January (REGI) :
•REG now expects to report a net loss of $9 million to $15 million and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the range of negative $7 million to negative $13 million, which is below the Company's prior guidance of adjusted EBITDA in the range of $0 to $10 million.
• "Throughout the quarter, we experienced a volatile commodity environment coupled with a significant decline in RIN prices," said REG President and CEO Daniel J. Oh. "Feedstock prices did not decline as significantly as energy prices and RINs during the quarter, mainly due to continued high industry production levels in anticipation of a retroactive reinstatement of the federal biodiesel mixture excise tax credit." If the tax credit is retroactively reinstated as anticipated, the net benefit to REG for the quarter would be between $35 million and $40 million.
• The Company also gave a time range for resumption of production at its Geismar, LA renewable hydrocarbon diesel biorefinery following the September 3 fire at the plant. Our current estimate is that our team will have the plant back online by the end of January."
Moving from 10th to 3rd makes me happy. Only 100 points behind you
Bam- Hyma's Heros put up the highest score this week and mercilessly danced on the burned-out remains of Moonway Monsters 166 to 85. There is the good, the bad, the ugly, and then there is this. The 81-point margin of victory is the highest in the league this season.
Hyma's Heros (3-2, 654 points) climbs into third place
Niece lives in the area. She and her husband are OK, staying with friends. Not sure if the house survived yet.

•Losing is a proven way not to win a game. For a more successful season, try not losing.
•Well, that's embarrassing. Left Philip Rivers on the bench, where he ranked second in the league in scoring with 35 points.
•Picked up Leonard Hankerson but left him on the bench, where he scored 22 points and exceeded his scoring projection by 137.6%, the sixth-highest percentage in the league.
•Left Chris Ivory on the bench, where he scored 22 points and beat his projected point total by 165.4%, the third-highest percentage in the league this week.
•Acquired and started Alfred Blue, who scored 1 point, the fewest of any player in the matchup.

I'm sure the government will spent that money wisely-
At least he threw a couple interceptions

Found this article for July 2001- two companies no longer exists. Two have performed extremely well
Dow dividend Strategy
Tired of baby-sitting your portfolio? Here is a strategy from Motley Fool that lets you take a break. All you have to do is look at the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). The Dow is an index that compromises 30 public companies, each having over $7 billion in sales over the last year. The way to calculate these giants is to look at their market capitalization. This will tell you the total dollar value (Market cap is # of shares of stock times stock price). Based on the hugeness of these giants, many investors look to them for long term growth.
Now why follow this strategy? Look at the companies- Think any of them will go away in the next 10 years. Not likely. Another reason- Investors who try to manage too much research typically runs unprofitable or under-performing portfolios. The greatest mistake most investors make is trying to follow too many stocks. With this strategy you are working with a small ample of potential investments. Lastly, the DOW has met market performance growth for 60 years, according to analysis of historical performance.
Now, how does the Motley Fool suggest looking at these 30 stocks? They call it the foolish 4 approach. First principle is the dividend payment. This is a tool used by corporations to compensate shareholders by paying out earning directly to them. This moderates growth expectations. Now, all of this leads to the dividend yield. This is a calculation that measures payback per share based on stock price. Lets look at Kodak. Notice the dividend is $1.76 with a yield of 3.79%.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ek&d=c
What we are looking for is the highest yields in the DOW. We have to sort these out and pick the 10 highest yielding stocks. Make a chart with yield, dividend, and price.
Lets go here and start sorting: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=@^dji
We get the following:
Symbol yield dividend price
MO 4.44 2.12 47.80
EK 3.79 1.76 46.38
GM 3.09 2.00 64.72
JPM 2.98 1.36 45.65
DD 2.97 1.40 47.20
IP 2.76 1.00 36.18
CAT 2.69 1.40 51.99
SBC 2.52 1.02 40.62
PG 2.17 1.40 64.60
HON 2.15 0.75 35.10
In a book by Michael Higgins, Beating the Dow, he narrows this down to 5 stocks. He believes in taking advantage of volatility of lower priced issues. So we take this list and pick the 5 lowest priced issued. Here is what we have:
Symbol yield dividend price
HON 2.15 0.75 35.10
IP 2.76 1.00 36.18
SBC 2.52 1.02 40.62
JPM 2.98 1.36 45.65
EK 3.79 1.76 46.38
The Motley fool took this approach one step further. They did some analysts on this on noticed that the lowest price issue performed the worst of the top ten yielding stocks. If you follow the history, the lowest priced stock is often that of a company in real trouble, thus a suffering stock price. So- we throw out the lowest price stock. Motley fool also noticed that the second lowest price stock performs the best. So their formula is 2-2-3-4-5. How does this work? You invest equal amounts (20%) into each number. Lets use $10,000 as our investment. You end up buying 110 shares of IP, 50 shares of SBC, 44 shares of JPM, 43 shares of EK. Total outlay before commissions is $10,013.74.
Why does this Work? The institutional investors have a short-term mentality. They are constantly realigning there portfolios to show winning stocks (some call this window dressing). Therefore when daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly reports come out, they scramble to the stock of the day, dropping what may be termed “dog stocks” because that stock is not being talked about. Secondly, Retirees typically invest in strong returns with little volatility. They are looking to generate steady streams of capital. So, they are not running to the next CSCO or MFST. Recognizing the need, financial planners and brokers put them in stocks that provide dividends substantial enough to support their customer’s basic living expenses. So the stability in the Dow continues. One last reason is this approach overlooks brand name weakness. When the news media attacks a company, investors overreact.
I’ve been running a mock portfolio since MLK (Jan) day. Currently, using this strategy has yielded 15.5%. No baby-sitting on this account. Now what is recommended is to review this account yearly. Run the selection again and make the adjustments.
The advantages are, lowering commission costs (only trading a max of 8 times per year), No stress watching the market (this is a proven strategy), more free time for family and hobbies.
Some disadvantages may be, Missing out on the real winning market. Only 8 trades per year, and only doing it once a year = boring. Now if you want to know how the Motley Fool selects bigger winners, I suggest picking up a book called “ The Motley Fool Investment Guide” by David and Tom Gardner. Good pointers in there, and if you follow some of their tactics for investing- The price of the book is well worth the “investment”.

Chinese industrial profits fell 8.8% in August year-over-year, according to the National Bureau of Statistics - the largest decline since the government began making the data public four years ago, according to Bloomberg. Coal mining profits plunged 64.9% during the first eight months of the year versus the same period one year ago. "Companies are facing enormous operational pressures," said a bank analyst.
