lettuce hope that that thing on TYX.X is a Head & Shoulders formation, which will sweep the kost of kapital on down to, oh lessee... 6.00 minus 6.20 plus 6.00 = uh, 5.796 %
...for a lising tide rifts all boats, JohnSan. Accordingly, the yen for Yen must wane, the dollar wither ?

molasses and alack - der euro chocolat melteth in der Bund, not in das OilPatch, natch.
>Nice turnaround on your "Newsy" dice roll Dude. Could go to 86-87 by my reckoning...
RTRSY got cashed on CLOSE and the proceeds rolled over to MadameGonzo's birthday dinner: a diversified plate of pate, one chop, one rib-eye and a bottle of Margaux that was old enough to know better but, a bit too young to die.
>Re: Your dirt rollers. AEP pays a whopping $2.40 annual dividend and I believe the next quarterly would be in early August. Gotta run up before that I figure. Would be nice to catch the dead cat bounce and capture the div as bonus. (^-^)
oui (or, "whey" as it is said dans Paris) vraiment.
Then there is BOB - Merrill-Lynch 7.875% Strypes
BOB will pay $1.065 USD/share to us if we are clever enough to sell BOB for more than we bought BOB on or after 14-July, which is next Wednesday, which gives us Monday and/or Tuesday to buy-down BOB.
BOB is a generous fellow, (probably an Irishman) "Drinks for all me mates!" Beacuse, as you can see, BOB pays $4.26 bob per year and BOB costs $41~42, so lessee... that's 10.27% APR yield or, ~12.8375% taxable equivalent in a tax-free IRA.
But like any good leprechaun, BOB is tricky. BOB bobs; Moving his pot o' golden punts around (probably between pints at the pub, if we were to ask Mrs. BOB) hiding his treasure at the end of different rainbows. "Aye, mate: there's a wee crack and cranny in me rainbow at ~40.5 where me pot o' gold may be a-headin'... were I to tell yer where, I wouldn't be BOB, now would I laddie ? "
