Frustrated incorporated. (looooong) - BabyandBump

this may be a long rant about OH.

So after waiting a solid 15 weeks to finally tell my family about the pregnancy, i mustered up the courage and it went alot better then i ever expected. which i'm happy i did because i was going to wait till me and OH were supposed to be going home to visit (home is 900 miles away). but the day before we were scheduled to leave, the army decided to tell him he wasnt approved for leave. (BULL)

the whole time we had planned to go, i always had this feeling he didnt want to. (back story) in june we were supposed to go visit his mother and sisters who leave 12 hours south of us, and not where my family is. and a few days before we left his mom told him i wasnt welcome in her house, so we didnt go.

he's VERY attached to his mother, he calls her about everything. i didnt mind for awhile until i realized how bad it was. he calls her everytime we fight to bitch about it. and in turn it has made her hate me. i cant say i blame her, but at the same time, he tells her his side of every story, which is usually "i didnt do anything shes crazy waah wahh waaah" so his mom thinks i'm some crazy bitch, which really...i'm not. and she KNOWS how he is, why take his side without even talking to me? his family used to LOVE ME.

so anyway, a few weeks ago he literally woke me up at 4am to fight with me, all i wanted to do was sleep, i wasnt arguing, i wasnt fighting, i wasnt saying or doing anything, i was ignoring him completely. what does he do? calls mom.

but its 5am by her, and shes asleep, so he calls his sister and doesnt stop calling until she answers and tells her to wake up their mother.

so he crys to her and blah blah. fights over by the time he gets home from work, however his sister is pissed. (at ME!!!!!) she literally googled my PARENTS home address and sent me a text message with it saying "haha bitch, i know where you live" she continued with "let me find out your lying about being pregnant and see what happens" and "watch who you say haha too because i'll be the one with the last laugh"

the harassing texts continue until OH finally has her number blocked from my phone. so she starts on fb. i blocked her, so she trys my mom, she cant message my mom, so she messages my 18 YEAR OLD LITTLE SISTER!!!!!

"get your sister away from my brother or i will."

........Wtf?

so he has a "talk" with his mom and his other sister who is FUMING about her doing this to me. but nothing comes of it. he still talks to her like its nothing and acts like it never happened.

so anyway, my mom wanted us to come home end of august, and now that she knows ab bubs she wants to throw a baby shower, with his family (that lives out by home) and mine. trying to organize that in 3 weeks is impossible so we settled on october being a great time for it. i was talking to OH about it, and jokingly said "you know men arent invited to these right?!" because MOST of the time, men dont want to, or only women are invited. OBVIOUSLY hes coming to ours, i was just messing, but he got all serious and said "fine ill have my own, i'll go smoke cigars and get drunk" -whatever.

i mentioned how my mom wanted to extend the invitation to his mother down south, even though she figured she wouldnt make the trip, but felt rude just not inviting her. and he said she wont come we'll have another shower down by her.

so i said with who? i have some family there, but not enough to have a "shower" with. its just my dads sister and all her kids, and i really dont talk to them much. maybe go for a nice dinner, but not have a party. and then his mom and two sisters. also, where would we stay? im not welcome in their house apparently, and you couldnt pay me to stay anywhere near the girl who wanted to threaten my life, and say all those things.

his other sister is a sweetheart, and his mom....well i guess shes getting over things about me, and his thrilled to be having a grandchild, but that doesnt change things with his other sister. and i wont make myself that uncomfortable. she was rude to me the first time we stayed there and she had never even met me yet, and this was when we had only been together a few months and were still honeymooners.

i just dont know what to do. i feel bad because its his family and i want them to be involved, after all i didnt make this baby by myself.

but i really dont have any strength to even go down by them and stay in a hotel and still have to see her. just thinking about her makes me want to cry.

he told me shes never been like this before, which actually pisses me off because he dated a girl before me who was a drugged out junkie and she hated her she would constantly fight with her, but she wasnt THIS nasty to that girl? and here i am, doing everything i can to make him happy, i come from a good family, a good background, ive been nothing but polite, and nice, and greatful to them, and i get treated like this?

i feel so lost in the sauce.

Honda Jazz Hybrid sub-compact launch for a clean and green future ...

Show Your Love By Sharing

Recognizing an pressing need for clean and green future, auto companies are bending over backwards in their endeavor to bring out electric and hybrid vehicles. Honda Automobile Thailand Co. Ltd., is one such company that has recently launched their new Jazz Hybrid. This vehicle is designed under advanced and clean concept and is seen with a number of innovative exterior and interior features and the latest in technology when it comes to displaying its fuel efficient driving style. Honda Jazz Hybrid is available in a choice of four colors Brilliant White, Alabaster Silver, Fresh Lime Green and Cerulean Blue.

The vehicle is powered by hybrid technology and is fitted with a 1.3 liter i-VTEC intelligent engine generating 88 hp at 5800 rpm and 121 Nm torque at 4500 rpm. Its IMA electric motor produces 14 hp at 1500 rpm and 78 Nm torque at 1000 rpm. This Jazz Hybrid is the only hybrid environmentally friendly low CO2 emission vehicle available in Thailand. It is a sporty vehicle, easy to handle and is roomy and versatile for almost any type of use.

Zero CO2 emissions are possible when vehicle is in EV mode. When vehicle is in stationery position its engine automatically switches to standby thus reducing fuel consumption. Fuel consumption in the Honda Jazz stands at 21.3 kmpl while CO2 emissions are reduced to 110 gms per km. Honda is offering a five year warranty and no mileage limit of this new Jazz Hybrid while first time buyers can opt for Thai government's first car tax rebate.

News release: Honda announces the new Jazz Hybrid, the first hybrid model in the Thai sub-compact automobile market segment, highlighting a new trend: "Anyone Can Go Hybrid"
First hybrid car in the Thai sub-compact car market segment
Free 5-year warranty on hybrid system including electric motor, IPU, hybrid battery and wiring, with no mileage limit, Qualifies for the first-car tax rebate
Smart technology with Eco Assist that guides energy-saving driving

Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has announced the official launch of the new Jazz Hybrid, Thailand's first Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid automobile in the sub-compact market segment. This innovative new model is ideal for Thai people who want to live modern and environmentally-positive lifestyles. Designed under the "advanced and clean concept", the new Jazz Hybrid has a sleek acrylic and plated grille, a new headlight and taillight design with blue clear lenses and plating, and a comprehensive range of interior features. The new Honda Jazz Hybrid also comes with intelligent Eco Assist technology designed to help the driver maintain a fuel-efficient driving style, plus a display system that encourages optimum fuel-saving performance for all driving styles. The new Honda Jazz Hybrid is available in four colors including Brilliant White, Alabaster Silver, Fresh Lime Green and Cerulean Blue, complemented by black and dark blue interior colors.

Jazz Hybrid
According to Pitak Pruittisarikorn, Executive Vice President, Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd., "The new Honda Jazz Hybrid we are launching in Thailand today is an unrivalled Honda innovation, powered by hybrid technology working together with a 1.3 liter i-VTEC intelligent engine. It is the first and only hybrid in the current Thai sub-compact market segment, meeting this category's need for an environmentally-friendly automobile with low CO2 emissions. We believe Thai customers who want a green driving experience will warmly welcome this innovative new model. The Honda Jazz Hybrid is sporty and fun to drive, with fantastic fuel economy, roomy comfort, convenient controls and the flexibility for almost any type of use. Its interior is more spacious than other vehicles in the same category. Most importantly, the new Honda Jazz Hybrid is the affordable hybrid car that anyone can own. Honda is committed to clean energy innovations and increasing the use of alternative energy to ensure a sustainable future, which reflects our corporate environmental vision of 'Blue Skies for Our Children' and is in line with Honda's global efforts to reduce CO2 emissions by 30 percent by 2020. This reflects our philosophy of being a company that society wants to exist by sharing the joy of using our products with the highest customer satisfaction, affordable prices, and low carbon emissions that reflect Honda's Vision 2020."

Shingo Nagamine, Large Project Leader (LPL) of Honda Jazz IMA, Honda R & D Co., Ltd., Japan said, "Our goal in developing the new Jazz Hybrid was to create a small and efficient car suitable for many uses, with improved technical innovations and outstanding fuel economy. Based on the advanced & clean concept, the new Honda Jazz Hybrid is an ideal blend of two unique technologies; an advanced body design with the fuel tank placed in the center plus an ultra-thin electric motor and compact Intelligent Power Unit (IPU), both of which provide the most efficient weight distribution. The new Honda Jazz has a parallel hybrid system that works in tandem with the i-VTEC engine to move the vehicle. The parallel hybrid system is simple and lightweight to enhance driving performance and fuel economy. The i-VTEC engine generates the primary power, working together with the electric motor through the transmission to drive the wheels directly, maintaining fun and superior driving performance.

The compact IPU is located under the floorboard of the rear cargo area, which means the Jazz Hybrid has the same fully-adjustable seating configuration as the gasoline-powered model and the same spacious area for optimum utilization and storage. Today, Honda is unveiling the result of our approach ? a new sub-compact hybrid that embraces the new values in the Thai market today," added Nagamine.

The new Honda Jazz Hybrid delivers fun-to-drive performance with the carefully-matched combination of the 1.3 liter I-VTEC engine that generates up to 88 horsepower (at 5,800 rpm, with 121 N-m of torque at 4,500 rpm) and the IMA electric motor that produces 14 horsepower (at 1,500 rpm, with 78 N-m of torque at 1,000 rpm). The engine provides most of the propulsion, with supplementary energy from the electric motor enhancing start-off performance and the demands of acceleration and overtaking. When driving speed is low and steady, the engine stops and the vehicle moves to EV mode, powered solely by the electric motor. There are no CO2 emissions while in EV mode. During braking, the engine stops as braking energy is dynamically converted into electric power, then stored in the hybrid battery for future use. When the vehicle is stationary, the engine and electric motor automatically switch to standby in idling stop to reduce fuel consumption. The Honda Jazz Hybrid's IMA technology delivers fuel consumption of 21.3 kilometers per liter (or 4.7 liter/100 kilometer) and reduces CO2 emissions to 110 grams per kilometer, according to Honda's internal tests.

The Honda Jazz Hybrid's key features include a stylish new front grille, innovative blue headlights and tail lamps with chrome accents available only on the hybrid model, 15" Max-alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, an Econ-Meter and instruments that show charging and power enhancement generated by the electric motor. Other key features include audio system controls on the steering wheel, an audio module with USB and AUX connectivity, a storage box beneath the rear seat, a multi-purpose storage area in the middle console, a spacious cargo area and fully adjustable seating. With its G-Con body structure, the new Honda Jazz Hybrid integrates standard safety equipment including Dual SRS front airbags, an anti-braking system (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD).

In addition, Honda offers a 5-year warranty with no mileage limit for the fully-integrated IMA Hybrid system, including the electric motor, IPU, hybrid battery and wiring. First-time car buyers who choose a new Honda Jazz Hybrid will also qualify for the Thai government's first-car tax rebate.

"Honda is committed to developing automobiles powered by clean energy under our environmental policy. Worldwide, Honda strives to protect the environment by reducing CO2 emissions to help ensure a clean and green future for the new generation," concluded Pitak.

2 Western photographers freed from Syria captivity

AMSTERDAM (AP) ? Two Western photojournalists in Syria were held captive for a week by Islamic militants before being rescued by Syrian rebels, one of the men said Friday.

Jeroen Oerlemans, a prominent Dutch photographer, told Business News Radio of the Netherlands that he is not sure which group held him and John Cantlie of Britain, but said he is sure they were not Syrian.

"They all claimed they came from countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh and Chechnya, and they said there was some vague 'emir' at the head of the group," he said in a seven-minute interview from Turkey, where the men were resting after their ordeal. Oerlemans was also recovering from two gunshot wounds suffered during an escape attempt.

His account would seem to add weight to reports that foreign Islamic fighters are going into Syria to support the rebel side.

The Associated Press could not reach the men, who were expected to return home within days, for more details of their ordeal.

Oerlemans told Business News Radio that he and Cantlie entered Syria on July 19, and were captured almost immediately.

"You go with a donkey caravan over the border," he said. "It went left, we went right and walked into a camp of 20 tents and in no time we had a circle of men around us with Kalashnikovs and we were taken captive."

The militants accused the men of working for the CIA and took their equipment and documents, he said.

Oerlemans said it soon became clear that their captors planned to seek ransom, so the photographers tried to escape. They were quickly intercepted and Oerlemans was shot in the foot and thigh, he said. His captors bandaged his wounds but kept the two men handcuffed and blindfolded after that, he said.

"I was wounded, but the bullets missed all the vital parts, and I'm frisky as a puppy and enormously happy that I've survived it all, that it ended well," he said.

On Friday morning they were told they would be moved to another location when a group of Syrian rebels stormed the tent and put the photographers in trucks.

Suddenly four soldiers from the Syrian Free Army entered the camp and asked them how long they had been held.

"They took us with them like a bunch of gangsters," Oerlemans was quoted in a separate interview with NRC Handelsblad. "Shooting in the air we rode out of there."

Uri Rosenthal, the Netherlands' foreign minister, said Dutch diplomats were traveling to Oerlemans to help him get home. The British Foreign Office cited privacy concerns in not commenting.

Oerlemans is well-known in the Netherlands, having won two national photography awards.

Cantlie's LinkedIn page describes him as a freelance journalist and photographer with 20 years' experience in "hostile environment reportage." It says his clients have included British newspapers such as The Sunday Times, The Sunday Telegraph and The Sun; GQ and FHM magazines; and the BBC.

Intel's SMARTi low-cost 3G systems show off their wireless prowess

Intels SMARTi lowcost 3G systems show off their wireless prowess

Intel's announced a new system-on-chip that jams a 3G power amplifier directly onto radio circuits for smaller, cheaper cellular modems. SMARTi UE2p is designed for entry-level 3G phones and machine-to-machine modules that'll let your fridge talk to your oven. The Santa Clara chip foundry will be offering the gear to interested parties toward the end of the year, so if all the Microwaves released next Summer suddenly have the ability to access Twitter, you'll know Intel's to blame.

Windows Phone 8 SDK leaks show quiet upgrades to backup, media and the kitchen sink

Windows Phone 8 SDK leak shows us big backup, browser and Xbox revamps

The Windows Phone 8 SDK has escaped to the wild, and some sifting through the device emulator has dug up elements that Microsoft either skipped or only touched on lightly during the big unveiling in June. The most important addition may be the one customers see the least: backup. A WP7.hu search has the new OS replicating apps, settings and SMS messages in the cloud to prevent disaster, and that new SD card support will let WP8 owners shuffle photos from internal storage to the removable kind for safekeeping. There's also more work on Internet Explorer than we saw before, with MobileTechWorld noticing that DataSense provides an option for Opera-like remote compression to save that precious cellular bandwidth.

Media fans might have the most to gain. If we go by The Verge, both the Music/Video and Xbox hubs are getting fresh coats of paint -- both to integrate new ventures like Xbox Music as well as to jive more closely with the SmartGlass visual theme. Shutterbugs will like the long-awaited options to crop and rotate their work, pick multiple photos, and unify third-party camera apps under a Lenses concept. There's even more clever features in store, such as a Maps update that finds nearby WiFi hotspots, so head on over to the sources to get a full sense of where Microsoft will be going.

Deadly E. coli strain decoded

ScienceDaily (July 26, 2012) ? The secret to the deadly 2011 E. coli outbreak in Germany has been decoded, thanks to research conducted at Michigan State University.

The deadliest E. coli outbreak ever, which caused 54 deaths and sickened more than 3,800 people, was traced to a particularly virulent strain that researchers had never seen in an outbreak before. In the current issue of the academic journal PLoS ONE, a team of researchers led by Shannon Manning, MSU molecular biologist and epidemiologist, suggests a way to potentially tame the killer bacteria.

The strain, E. coli O104:H4, shares some characteristics as other deadly E. coli bacteria, but its combination is novel. Researchers haven't determined the mechanism it uses to cause disease, although Manning and her team were able to find the strain's Achilles heel ?- its biofilm.

By focusing on the bacteria's biofilm, the grouping of many E. coli bacteria that stick to a cell's surface and grow encased in a self-produced protective coat, Manning and colleagues were able to determine why it was so deadly. When the bacterium found in Germany forms a biofilm, it begins to make more toxic genes like the Shiga toxin.

Increased production of the Shiga toxin is the probable culprit that contributed to so many incidents of kidney damage and death during the 2011 outbreak, Manning said.

"What made the German outbreak so different is that many victims suffering from kidney failure were adults," she said. "Rather than attacking adults, other types of E. coli that produce Shiga toxins typically damage kidneys of children under 10."

In addition, the incubation period was considerably longer among individuals infected with the German outbreak strain compared to individuals infected with E. coli O157, a similar bacterium that can also cause illness and death. Manning believes this is because the German strain needs a longer period of time to form a biofilm, whereas biofilms are not important for O157 infections.

"Our research demonstrates that biofilm formation is critical for toxin production and kidney damage," she said. "If we can block the bacteria from forming a stable biofilm, then it is likely that we can prevent future E. coli O104:H4 infections."

The next phase of Manning's research is already focusing on creating mutant strains in an effort to prevent the bacterium from forming a biofilm. This would prevent the disease completely since the conditions would not be favorable for bacterial growth.

Chris Waters, MSU assistant professor of microbiology and molecular genetics, and scientists from the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Community Health contributed to the research.

Manning's research was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health (U19AI090872), the U.S. Department of Agriculture and MSU AgBioResearch.

The Allendale Community For Mature Living Hosts Coping With Loss

By mel fabrikant ???Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 11:27 AM EDT???

To help older adults deal with one of the most difficult aspects of aging ? loss ? Rabbi Avrohom Marmorstein recently hosted an educational seminar entitled ?Coping with Loss and Grief? at The Allendale Community for Mature Living. A member of the Pastoral Care Department at Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC), the Rabbi addressed the various forms of loss as well as steps for overcoming them.

Seniors experience losses of all types, according to Rabbi Marmorstein. These include the death of a spouse, family member or friend; cognitive deterioration of loved ones; decreased involvement in a neighborhood or civic organization; revocation of driving privileges; or even the closing of a favorite store.

?Independence and loss are intertwined for older adults. While their reaction to the loss of a loved one may be less extreme, because they accept the natural order of life, the loss of driving evokes a much stronger response,? he said. ?Coping strategies are not a ?one-size-fits-all? solution. The best approach, however, is to view change as an adventure in the next phase of living.?

The most important thing is to ?put one foot in front of the other and move forward,? according to the Rabbi. To attain this goal, he encourages seniors to self-nurture by nourishing their minds, bodies and souls. This can be achieved by trying something new; engaging in activities, including socialization; being creative, through writing, drawing or sculpting; identifying and cultivating new strengths and talents; or helping others through everyday acts of kindness.

Rabbi Marmorstein also recommends support groups and/or professional counseling or therapy, when appropriate.

?Living at a senior campus like The Allendale Community allows the elderly to pursue interests they may not have had time for in pre-retirement, due to work-related obligations or the responsibilities of raising a family,? he added. ?The different phases of retirement are an ideal opportunity to celebrate new pursuits.?

In his role as chaplain with the HUMC Pastoral Care Department, Rabbi Marmorstein provides patients, families and staff of all faiths with spiritual and religious comfort and support. He also serves as the Rabbi of a congregation on the Upper West Side in Manhattan.

The ?Coping with Loss and Grief? seminar is part of an on-going free educational series offered by The Allendale Community in partnership with HUMC?s Senior Platinum Plus Program, the acute-care hospital?s comprehensive wellness concierge service.

Developed in stages beginning in 1967, The Allendale Community pioneered modern-day eldercare. Today, the continuing care senior campus remains physician-owned and operated, housing four full-service residences. In addition to The Atrium Assisted Living, where residents can utilize long-term care insurance and veteran?s benefits as partial or full payment for the monthly rental fee, the campus includes Carlton Court, a memory-care neighborhood; The Allendale Nursing Home, a Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility; and The Rehabilitation Center at The Allendale Community, which provides subacute services to people of all ages who have suffered an illness or injury.

Throughout the course of its 45-year history, the Community has been renovated in stages to offer the most contemporary designs and latest services. The newest improvements include the addition of eternity waterfalls and hand-painted murals in The Atrium?s lobby.

Located in a quiet suburban neighborhood in Allendale, N.J., just off Route 17 South, The Allendale Community for Mature Living was one of the first retirement communities in the region to incorporate four fully licensed levels of residency in one location. The Community also offers a Respite Short-Term Stay Program as well as the Senior Social Club, an adult day program. For more information about The Allendale Community for Mature Living, call (201) 825-0660 or visit www.allendalecommunity.com.

Seinfeld back on Thursdays this fall with NY live shows

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fourteen years after his classic sitcom ended, Jerry Seinfeld is returning to Thursday nights in New York City.

He won't appear on primetime television, however. From October 4 to November 8, Seinfeld will perform a full stand-up comedy show in a different theater in the city's five boroughs nearly every Thursday, the night his hit show "Seinfeld" aired on NBC from 1990 to 1998.

Seinfeld hasn't performed a full show in the Big Apple since 1998, when he sold out the Broadhurst Theater on Broadway shortly after his sitcom ended.

"I was born in Brooklyn, went to school in Queens and started out as a comedian in Manhattan. I feel like New York City taught me how to be funny. I'm so excited to perform a special series of shows for my beloved home town," Seinfeld said in a press release on Wednesday.

Tickets for the five shows, which will open with comedian Colin Quinn, go on sale on Monday, July 30. (Reporting by Joseph O'Leary; Editing by Barbara Goldberg and Dale Hudson)

Nexen-CNOOC merger may benefit Canada: analyst

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- CNOOC's /quotes/zigman/274848/quotes/nls/ceo CEO -3.72% proposed $15 billion acquisition of Nexen Inc. /quotes/zigman/22952/quotes/nls/nxy NXY +51.47% /quotes/zigman/22967 CA:NXY +51.59% could benefit Canada, according to an analyst. Since Nexen derives only about 11% of its cash flow and 28% of its production from Canada, the company's strong international diversity could make it difficult for regulators to oppose the deal based on its impact in Canada, CIBC analyst Andrew Potter said in a note to clients. The deal could benefit Canada, however, by CNOOC's proposal to put its headquarters in Calgary and listing its shares on the Toronto exchange. Also, CNOOC could build up liquid natural gas facilities more quickly than Nexen could do by itself. The higher investment by CNOOC, along with royalties and taxes paid from such an asset, would benefit Canada, Potter said. The deal would rank as the largest takeover of a Canadian company by a Chinese national oil company, Potter said. He said the deal faces "higher-than-average closing risk but not extreme."

The system will accord the user?s personal situation of the specific study, a Bayesian network called will be analyzed user data, and confirm the user behavior and emotional relationship.

At present the system is still in development and is still not extensive experiments, so accuracy rate is very low. Samsung also did not say whether it will be commercial.

Yahoo shows off Beyond Gold Olympics app for its connected HDTVs

Yahoo show off Beyond Gold Olympics app for its connected HDTVs

While NBC has already shown off its official Olympics apps for mobile devices, Yahoo is readying an onscreen companion app for connected TVs built on its widgets. While smart TV platforms and boxes are practically everywhere, Yahoo's is built into HDTVs from several manufacturers, and the app is available for TVs from Sony, Vizio, Samsung and Toshiba. It gives users access to Yahoo Sports coverage with video, news and analysis including daily updates on the games and a real-time medal count. If you have a TV with the Yahoo Connected TV store, it should be just a few clicks of the remote away, and content updates are scheduled to start coming in early next week. We're still waiting to see the second screen action we previewed at CES put to use, but maybe this event is just the reminder the world needed that this is on more TVs than Google's effort and actually exists unlike the often-rumored Apple HDTV.

The Pros And Cons Of Preferred Stock Investing | FinanceCritics

The Pros And Cons Of Preferred Stock Investing

Article by Frank Rodriguez

Ten percent of the stock in a company is usually listed as something called preferred stock. Preferred stock investing is a type of financial venture that has a list of pros and cons.

If you desire to invest in these kinds of stocks, the first step is to find those that are high performance. It would behoove you to do a bit of research just as you would with common stocks. It is easy to find the listings in newspapers and financial papers as well.

It is best to research newspapers that focus on the financial market. Business Daily and Wall Street are two very good choices. If you do find a company that deals in these kinds of commodities, you must learn all that you can about the core foundation of the company before you make a final decision about investing your assets.

Although many people think that since preferred stock holders are guaranteed their payments it is okay to go ahead and invest, it is still safe to do your research because nothing in the financial market is guaranteed. Although investing in this manner does promise higher income in the long run. Investing in companies who pay regular dividends is also a wise choice. You can determine the strength of the company by finding out what they pay on these types of commodities.

Although you can feel relatively secure investing this way, it is still smart to be aware of any potential dangers. In the case of liquidation these types of investors have priority of payment, but bond holders still get top priority. If there is a suspension of dividends, it can affect these share- holders as well.

If the industry in which you put your assets into has a major setback, this could spell investment troubles as well. It is wise to be aware and keep an eye on all of these factors before investing your money. Preferred shareholding is a lot less unpredictable than common stock holding, but still can be risky.

Buying and selling these types of shares is very similar to trading common stocks. It is usually done through a brokerage firm. If you own these kinds of shares you are far more likely to get your money back than you would if you owned common stocks. Also if the company goes bankrupt, you have a higher chance of getting your assets back as well.

Preferred stock investing does not give the owner voting rights, but it does depict company ownership to a certain extent. Sometimes these kinds of shares are referred to as callable. This means that other shareholders can purchase these shares from other holders and a lot of times at a premium price. This can be a secure type of investment and can be a good choice for those who are not into risk taking with their money. If you do your homework, you can find good companies to invest in and make some much needed money at the same time. Online is a great place to explore this topic so that you protect your money and make knowledgeable choices.
