New Preferred ETF Offers Yield, Safety & Real Estate: TheStreet
Published on 22 Jun 2016
The
current low-yield, high-volatility market is making preferred stocks
all-the-more attractive, said Ben Fulton, CEO of Elkhorn Investments.
Fulton launched the Elkhorn S&P High Quality Preferred ETF last
month. The EPRF is based on the S&P U.S. High Quality Preferred
Stock Index, which selects fixed-rate investment grade preferred issues
(BBB- or higher) from U.S. listed preferred stocks and maintains an
allocation of 75% to cumulative preferreds. 'This is a way for people to
take risk off in a preferred portfolio,' said Fulton. 'There was no
investment grade only preferred exposure in the ETF space so we are
delighted to bring this.' In general, preferred stock is a class of
equity security that pays a specified dividend that must be paid before
any dividends can be paid to common stockholders, and which takes
precedence over common stock in the event of the company's liquidation.
Although preferred stocks represent a partial ownership interest in a
company, preferred stocks generally do not carry voting rights and have
economic characteristics similar to fixed-income securities. Preferred
stocks generally are issued with a fixed par value and pay dividends
based on a percentage of that par value at a fixed or variable rate.
Additionally, preferred stocks often have a liquidation value that
generally equals the original purchase price of the preferred stock at
the date of issuance. 'We have not distributed yet, but we are
anticipating a 5.5% to 6% type of yield,' said Fulton. Unlike most
preferred stock funds which hold predominantly bank issues, the EPRF has
a very large REIT allocation, holding preferreds from the likes of
Kimco , Boston Properties and Public Storage . 'REITs have a very good
history of paying because they want to come back to the market,' said
Fulton. 'They have to pay back the preferred holders both past dividends
and future. That's why they tend to have a higher credit rating in the
marketplace.'

#USA - ‘He Didn’t Do It For Terrorism’ Man Claiming To Be Orlando Attacker’s Lover Comes Forward: GodIsEveryWhere

‘He Didn’t Do It For Terrorism’ — Man Claiming To Be Orlando Attacker’s Lover Comes Forward
A man claiming to be the lover of the murderer in the Orlando terrorist attack gave an interview to Univision published Tuesday, in which he says that the killer was motivated by a personal vendetta to seek revenge against the gay Latino community.
“The thing that makes me want to tell the truth is that he didn’t do it for terrorism. In my opinion he did it for revenge,” a man who asked to be referred to as “Miguel” told Univision Noticias anchor Maria Elena Salinas. Miguel appeared in the interview wearing a disguise.
A report from Fox News on the news of Miguel’s interview.
Miguel described the killer, Omar Mateen, as having been wracked with self-loathing about his sexual orientation, resentment against gay Latinos, and an alcohol problem. He said that he and Mateen met on the gay dating app Grindr the year before and described the two-month-long relationship as one of “friends with benefits.” It ended in December, when Miguel moved away from Orlando. He said Mateen enjoyed being cuddled and described him as “affectionate” and “sweet.”
Following an assignation with two Puerto Rican men, one of them revealed to Mateen after the fact that he was HIV positive and Mateen became incensed, Miguel said. “He was terrified that he was infected,” Miguel said. “I asked him, ‘Did you do a test?’ Yes. He went to the pharmacy and did the test … it came out negative but it doesn’t come out right away. It takes four, five months.”
“‘I’m going to make them pay for what they did to me,'” Miguel recalled Mateen telling him.
“He adored Latinos, gay Latinos, with brown skin – but he felt rejected. He felt used by them – there were moments in the Pulse nightclub that made him feel really bad. Guys used him. That really affected him,” Miguel said. “I believe this crazy horrible thing he did – that was revenge.”
The FBI confirmed to Univision that they had met with Miguel, and Miguel claimed that he had been interviewed by agents in-person three times.

Strategic Minerals (LON:SML) boss finds "exactly what we are looking for": ProactiveInvestors Stocktube
Published on 22 Jun 2016
Strategic
Minerals PLC (LON:SML) chairman Alan Broome tells Proactive Investors
about the early indications from the Hanns Camp drill programme.
“We drilled some holes and intersected some nickel sulphide which is exactly what we were looking for. The next step is to do some very detailed analysis” he says.
Broome also explains the rationale behind the firm's three-pronged approach to adding new assets to the portfolio.
“We are fairly fortunate as a junior company that we already have a producing asset in the U.S that actually pays for our overheads" he says.
Broome adds: “So we are looking for bulk material opportunities, rare earths and metals with a five year indicated improvement in demand and price: nickel, tin & tungsten.”
