Intel's Q3'14 Earnings Preview: PCs, Tablets & IoT In Focus

October 10, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
Leading chipmaker Intel reports its Q3 2014 earnings on October 14.

3 Reasons Campbell Soup Company Isn't a Top Dividend Stock

October 9, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
Filed under: Investing As sales of its foods creep up, Campbell Soup Company has increased its dividend. It now pays out a 2.95% yield, $0.312 per share per quarter. A good return alone isn’t enough to warrant a dive into this bowl, though.

Campbell is having trouble consistently meeting those criteria. While sales have risen 15% over the last two [...]

We All Lose Under Current Student Loan Bankruptcy Rules

In 2005, the bankruptcy code was updated to make private loans “non-dischargable” in a personal bankruptcy, meaning that, unlike other private debts, student loans can’t be forgiven or written off.*  This change put private student loans on the same level as federal or state loans and child support payments: totally, non-negotiably sticking with you forever.
