  • Insider Report: Frontier Communications Set To Move Higher

    By Brian Gorban - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: T, FTR, WIN

    Insider buying is widely followed due to the fact that insiders, like investors, buy shares for the same reason: their belief the stock will move higher. Below is a well followed company that recently had a large insider purchase and has me looking deeper whether or not it makes for a sound investment? As a caveat, please only consider this as a starting point in your investment research as these more »

  • This High Yielding Telecom Company Has Good Growth Prospects

    By Piyush Arora - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: CTL, VZ, WIN

    A company with consistent cash flow and stable dividend payouts usually makes it to most of the income portfolios. It earns a reputation of sustainable payouts, and the Street loves the company for it. But when the same company announces a dividend cut, the Street punishes it severely. Such has been the case with CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL), which witnessed a 23% plunge in its share price shortly after management announced more »

  • This Stock Is Cheaper and Safer than Its Peers

    By Mark Lin - June 12, 2013 | Tickers: ELNK, TWTC, WIN

    In recent years, I have seen a trend of analysts shunning asset–heavy stocks for their more efficient counterparts. However, investors should not confuse capital inefficiencies with competitive advantages derived from assets. Asset intensive companies also typically face less threats from substitute products and the entry of new competitors. EarthLink (NASDAQ: ELNK), a domestic IT services, network and communications company, belongs to this category of companies with a significant network more »

  • Avoid these Two Giants, but Buy Wal-Mart

    By siraj sarwar - June 10, 2013 | Tickers: CTL, WMT, WIN

    With interest rates near zero, investors have been desperately seeking strong yields. Investors are moving toward high-yielding stocks as an alternative to bonds, but they need to do in-depth research before initiating any position in any stocks. The recent plunge in the economy as well as new emerging markets have forced many companies to cut or sustain similar dividends. These cuts in dividends mean that companies are not able to more »

  • How Safe are the Three Largest Dividend Yields in the S&P 500?

    By Rupert Hargreaves - June 6, 2013 | Tickers: CTL, FTR, WIN

    The benefits of dividend investing are well known.

    Companies with high dividend yields can offer both protection and support in any market environment. In a falling market solid dividends can reduce a portfolio's losses and in a rising market, such as today's, a strong yield can be used to improve performance and offset inflation while interest rates are low.

    The question is, can the largest dividend yields in more »

  • Stocks for the Dividend Investor, Part 2; High Yield

    By Rupert Hargreaves - May 30, 2013 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, WIN

    In part one of this series I looked at some solid dividend paying stocks with a rich history that will provide a solid backbone to any portfolio. In this part I am going to look at the high yielding dividend stocks that offer above average returns but significantly higher risk.

    High yield comes with high risk by its very nature, and with the whole market bouncing around new highs every more »

  • I Wish it Were Simple

    By Chad Henage - May 25, 2013 | Tickers: CTL, FTR, VZ, WIN

    Sometimes it's hard to know whether to hold a stock, buy more, or sell it. You have to look at the company's performance, remind yourself of why you bought the stock in the first place, and then see if anything has materially changed. This is sort of where I am with CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL). On the one hand, the company had to cut its dividend, but they also more »

  • What Matters Most for Frontier Communications?

    By Chad Henage - May 24, 2013 | Tickers: CTL, FTR, VZ, WIN

    When I look at an earnings report, I'm usually trying to find some positives and negatives that I can take away. Ideally the report would confirm the company outperforming their peers across the board and showing good growth. That outcome doesn't occur often, and more often than not, there are a few worries to go along with a few positives. Such is the case with Frontier Communications (NASDAQ: FTRmore »)

  • 5 Signs This Business Is Slowly Dying

    By Chad Henage - May 23, 2013 | Tickers: T, CTL, FTR, WIN

    Sometimes picking stocks comes down to avoiding a “too good to be true” scenario. Investors in Windstream (NASDAQ: WIN) need a little reality check. The stock's current yield of 11.43% looks very appealing, but a good yield in a dying business is a sure recipe for disaster.

    Who's Buying This?
    In the last year, Windstream's stock has been as low as about $8, and as high more »

  • Is Gigabit Fiber Here?

    By Rhett Holechek - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: ALU, T, CTL, CSCO, EXTR, GOOG, JNPR, VZ, WIN

    The US has been behind countries like South Korea, Japan, and Sweden, for too long when it comes to very high speed Internet - the kind of speeds that only fiber can bring.  The current holy grail of Internet speed is gigabit (1,024 megabits per second).  Imagine streaming everything to your house without buffering, choppiness, and all-around unpleasantness.  That is what gigabit promises and delivers.  However, most cannot get it more »

  • A Value Play in the Telecom Sector

    By Piyush Arora - April 11, 2013 | Tickers: T, CTL, WIN

    More often than not, companies carry out share repurchases to either revive their distressed share prices or to artificially boost their EPS when there isn’t much room to grow. But certain well-performing companies repurchase their shares to reduce their dividend burden or due to a board’s faith and confidence in the company’s future. AT&T (NYSE: T) is one such company, and here are a couple of more »

  • Can This Telecom Giant Compete in Business Services?

    By Maxwell Fisher - March 29, 2013 | Tickers: T, CTL, VZ, WIN

    The business-services industry is a huge landscape, making up both business and government agencies. There's great profit potential for telecom companies that can deliver fast and secure Internet access, convenient data storage options, voice, and cloud computing services.

    So when Windstream (NASDAQ: WIN) announced the expansion of its carried switched ethernet service, it made me wonder whether the company could compete with other telecoms in the business-services industry. Below more »

  • 3 High Yield Technology Stocks

    By Mohsin Saeed - March 28, 2013 | Tickers: CTL, FTE, WIN

    The technology sector is usually not known for its high dividends because companies prefer to invest heavily in R&D and focus on revenue growth. The telecommunication industry is an exception in the technology sector, however, as it offers some of highest yields in the entire market. The following three companies offer some of the highest dividends in the technology sector, and the discussion will demonstrate that these dividends are more »
