The fund with the non payment of dividends from BP due to the oil spill was looking for a high income stock and came across Chimera last week, together with 9 other US REIT companies that all yielded over 10%. We signed up with the company to receive news from the company and were most impressed by the response this arriving yesterday - Company Release - 08/02/2010 16:05
.
Q2 - NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: CIM) today reported Core Earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, of $142.8 million or $0.19 per average share as compared to Core Earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, of $48.9 million or $0.10 per average share and Core Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, of $127.9 million or $0.19 per average share.................
.
The fund had thought of setting a limit of $3.82 but noting the strength the day before decided not to set a limit. You really can never purchase at the bottom and the plan should the share price move lower would be to average out over the next year. Yahoo´s 1 year Target Est: $4.38
.
The fund had made the mistake in 2008 of investing in Pink Sheet shares on which is is now showing losses on all except Superclick Inc (SPCK.OB). This one it had picked itself the remainder on the suggestion of an analyst who produced a very convincing argument for example to purchase NCTW.PK / PBOF.OB / UITA.PK / VSPC.OB. The fund thought medical stocks would be a good bet in 2008 and went for ADOV.PK & AIDA.PK but they have not performed as hoped. By going for income shares now in the US we may try and "average out" at a later date in these Pink Sheet stocks with the dividends so that we are not involved in currency exchange.

Chimera has the body of a mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT), but its head is that of its external manager, FIDAC (Fixed Income Discount Advisory Company), a fixed-income investment management firm wholly-owned by Annaly Capital Management. Formed in 2007, Chimera invests in residential mortgage loans; residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), such as those guaranteed by government agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; real estate-related securities; and other assets, including collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs. The REIT went public in 2007, shortly after it was formed.

Saturday 7 August - Saturday 14 August - Saturday 21 August - Saturday 28 August - Saturday 31 July

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Someone is bent on getting their own way and you feel obliged to have to indulge them. As the hours wear on, some kind of upheaval is unavoidable. No longer can you use tactics that have worked in the past, to keep the peace. An emotional tie or work relationship is causing you too much stress. Why should your health suffer for the sake of others if they can't appreciate all you are trying to do for them?

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Getting annoyed and frustrated with a seeming host of minor problems will only make things more difficult for yourself. The only way to shake off restrictions and overcome stumbling blocks is to patiently work on one matter at a time. You've always had a lot of patience but anxiety makes you irritable and less tolerant. If there is anything you aren't happy about, discuss your worries with a senior colleague. The quieter you go about this the more likely it is a compromise will be found.

.

Gemini (May22/June21) It's always stressful to have to undergo tests, appraisals or examinations. Your mind is working quickly but it doesn't always stay focused on the matter in hand. You're thinking of the future and you're keen to make some changes. The results of today's assessments and reviews could have a big influence on your final decision. By evening you will have a good idea whether it's time to move on, or if you will be stopping where you are for a wee while longer.

.

Cancer (June22/July23) Developments in your domestic domain come about swiftly and unexpectedly. It might seem as if you have never experienced so many unanticipated problems and demands. People head to your door like bees to honey; they know you're the one who can make a difference in a community exercise that has gone wrong or a neighbourhood dispute. Expect to have to cancel or postpone travel plans in order to give others what they want.

.

Leo (July24/Aug23) You need all your wits about you to sort out difficulties quickly and effectively. Tackle problems as they arise and your way ahead will be made much easier. Ignore them in the hope they will go away and you will cause yourself further distress in the future. If you aren't sure how to go about mending a contentious situation, look back on similar experiences in the past. This will help you fit the pieces of a current puzzle together.

.

Virgo (24/Sept23) You could spend more than you need to on items you don't really need if you're too much in a rush. Squeezing a shopping trip into an already hectic schedule is not a good idea. Get someone else in the family to pick up necessary items and leave anything else for another day. A date arranged for this evening will not be very romantic and all because one of you mentions a topic that triggers an angry response.

.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23) If affairs of the heart are at the centre of your interest it's probably because you're worried about a recent incident. A close friendship might become frayed as an argument or misunderstanding gets blown out of all proportion. To some extent you're having to adjust to new developments in a relationship that isn't particularly to your liking. Uncertainty about the future of this union will continue a wee while longer.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) In a health or medical matter there is a clear danger of contamination if people don't follow rules. It may be time to re-evaluate measures that have been put into place to protect the public. Someone is determined to show you how to do a job you happen to be extremely good at. By the end of the day others will respect your skills and experience and they will be turning to you for advice on the best way to move forward.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Communication from overseas will give you food for thought. An offer or invitation needs consideration. You might decide not to say anything to anyone or make any drastic steps until you think over what all this implies. A part of you is impatient to get going on something new but a little voice inside is holding you back. You're just not ready yet to come face to face with your future.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Emotions are explosive when debates relate to a matter that touches everyone in different ways. Communications are frustration when some people are governed by their emotions while others are striving to be logical and rational about it. Keep control of your temper as losing it will only make it more likely you lose the argument too. You need to say what you're thinking rather than bottle up emotions but if you come over too forceful you may end up rubbing others the wrong way.

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) If you're struggling with something you never expected to be easy you can't say you're surprised! When the going gets too difficult, take a break, take a breath and return to it when you aren't feeling so annoyed with yourself. Try some simple exercises and forget about being productive for a wee while. There is time enough to get results and you may yet outsmart your competitors.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) At last you've got all the information you need to fit together the pieces of a jigsaw that has lately been on your mind. You are prepared now to be competitive if that's what it takes to achieve your next aim. You are determined to make your mark and get the better of a rival who is constantly pulling you down. Since you have the drive and energy to go far, you will be enjoying a certain challenge to the full.

Just spreading the word about a scam email I received. See the Bloptimization blog for an explanation and don’t be taken in. Here’s how it started:

I emailed them back, confirming ownership of mppllc.com and received this reply:

I asked them to send the “dispute application form,” and got this in reply:

Dear David,
Attached dispute application form, pls check. We just could help you to dispute these domain name when we get you application form .pls note, all of the registration procedure are all in the application form, pls progress our work follow it. So please fill in and return to us ASAP.Thank’s
Best Regards,

____________________________

As you can probably guess, the “Domain name&Internet brand keyword Disputed Applicication form” is not a dispute form at all, but an order form, with exorbitant rates to register domains. Here’s the price list:

★    Single registration fee:
(.cn/.com.cn/.net.cn/.org.cn)               Domain name:160USD/ 5 Years Per Name
(.hk/.tw)                                  Domain name:405USD/ 5 Years Per Name
(.mobi)                                   Domain name:320USD/ 5 Years Per Name
(.cc)                                      Domain name:340USD/ 5 Years Per Name
(.asia)                                     Domain name:840USD/ 5 Years Per Name
.Internet brand keyword:                        705EUR/ 5 Years Per Name

And of course that gave it away right there.
I don’t think these scammers will score too many hits because they are just too greedy. They’d probably make more money by charging a “dispute resolution processing fee” or some other kind of innocuous service charge rather than going for the big score.

No leaks in this crude oil market

http://www.ino.com/info/597/CD16/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

----------------------------------------------------------

The massive move-up in crude oil on Monday created a new dynamic for this in-the-news market. The move to two-month highs completed one of our favorite major technical formations.

In this short video, I share with you two conflicting indicators and which one I am choosing to go with. I think you'll find this video technically interesting as well as educational.

Please feel free to comment with your thoughts on this market.

As always our videos are free to watch and there are no registration requirements needed.

Counterfeit drugs reach NHS supply chain - NEWS - NHS articles ...

In Fake Medicines, part of the BBC's Fake Britain series, presenter Dominic Littlewood investigates just how easy it is to buy prescription-only medicines ...

A BBC documentary has investigated the increasing problem of counterfeit medicines in the UK and even discovers fakes making their way into the NHS supply chain.

In Fake Medicines, part of the BBC's Fake Britain series, presenter Dominic Littlewood investigates just how easy it is to buy prescription-only medicines over the internet and looks at the often devastating effects that counterfeit medicines can bring.

Purchasing prescription-only medicines online

During the programme, Littlewood uses an online 'pharmacy' website to purchase a selection of prescription only medicines. He opts for Plavix, used to protect against heart attacks and strokes; Clomid, a potent fertility drug; Atorvastin, a generic version of cholesterol-lowering Lipitor; flu vaccine, Tamiflu; Reductil, a weight loss therapy; Propecia, for the treatment of hair loss in men and the erectile dysfunction treatment, Viagra.

After a few weeks various packages arrive. Shockingly, the Plavix comes with a free sample of Viagra – a combination that could be fatal in patients with a heart condition.

The drugs are taken to the London School of Pharmacy where they are analysed by Professor Tony Moffat. A chemical analysis shows the Viagra to be fake, but the Tamiflu, Reductil and Propecia are found to be real.

These prescription-only medicines have the potential to cause serious damage and could even be fatal if taken without medical supervision. The hair loss treatment, Propecia, for example, can cause infertility if handled by women.

The generic version of Lipitor, which should not be on the market as the drug is still under patent, is taken to manufacturer Pfizer for investigation. The tablets bought over the internet are found to contain far less of the active ingredient than the real product.

Lipitor works by lowering cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of events such as a heart attack. If a patient is not receiving the full dose of the active ingredient, they are not receiving the protection they need.

Far more profitable than heroinTalking about the increasing global counterfeit medicine market, Heidi Wright from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society explains that $1,000 invested in ingredients to produce heroin results in a profit of $3,000 – a 200 per cent profit margin, whereas $1,000 invested in ingredients to produce fake prescription drugs results in a profit of $30,000, or 2,000 per cent.

During the programme, viewers are shown footage of tatty, disorganised and non-sterile premises in South America where some of these counterfeit medicines are produced. We even see containers of boric acid (used as an insecticide) being used in the production process.

These backroom 'factories'’ paint a very different picture to the 'shop front' websites with images of clinicians in white coats giving innocent users the impression of a professional, legitimate company.

"If consumers and patients and the public saw the back rooms, it is unlikely they would visit the front room," says Jim Thomson from European Alliance for Access to Safe Medicines (EAASM).

How are counterfeit medicines finding their way into the NHS supply chain?

Counterfeiting of prescription medicines is now so sophisticated that healthcare professionals and being fooled. Since 2004, there have been ten serious recalls of counterfeit medicines that have made their way into the NHS.

In June 2007, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued three recalls within days. The fake drugs in question were Zyprexa, used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia, Cosodex, for prostate cancer, and Plavix, for stroke and heart conditions.

The MHRA seized around 40,000 packages of the drugs but estimates that there are still around 30,000 unaccounted for – some of which Phil Cottrell, security directory for sanofi-aventis (manufacturer of Plavix), believes will have been taken innocently by NHS patients.

Littlewood also meets Angela Allinson from Preston, whose eight-year-old daughter has type 1 diabetes and must inject insulin four times a day. Ms Allinson was shocked to discover she had been injecting her daughter with fake needles, supplied to her on the NHS, for two weeks.

"It never even crossed my mind that someone would counterfeit needles," says Ms Allinson.

In the UK, pharmacists and wholesalers aim to get the best price for medicine. It is perfectly legal for them to buy products from elsewhere in Europe, providing the drugs are repackaged and contain the patient information leaflet in English. This means that drugs could potentially be re-packed and exchanged several times across Europe before reaching the UK market.

Heidi Wright explains: "The NHS supply chain is actually quite complicated, so this makes it slightly easier for counterfeiters to infiltrate the medicines supply chain."

She goes on to explain that there is no definitive audit trail for medicines in the UK. In some European companies, it is a requirement that batch numbers are recorded on the way in and out of the country. This is not required in the UK for drugs for human use, but is a requirement for veterinary medicines.

Pharmacist Zafar Khan tells the programme he is very worried about the current counterfeit situation and would like to see an international clampdown. "These medicines can kill," he says.

Fake Medicines was aired on BBC1 on March 11, and is available to view via the BBC iPlayer

Unfortunately, the BBC's iPlayer is not accessible to users outside of the UK.
