Shoebox Investor

What is a shoebox investor? An investor who generally pays himself first. The idea is that any money you can store in a shoebox or piggy bank, should be invested in the market. It is not how much you invest, it is the time value of money you should focus on. The earlier you put the money in the market, the longer you keep it in, the higher the chances of reaping the benefits of accumulating dividends. The reinvested dividends will buy you more shares.

Stock of the day- USA Mobility - Risky??

OK. I am not an investment advisor or an analyst. But, how is this company providing a 49% dividend with a negative EPS? It is losing earnings but providing almost 50% return for each share you own? Nice dividends but a risky stock to own. I've mentioned before that a low PE ratio with a positive EPS and a nice dividend return is a good buy.. But, this company is missing a couple of those characteristics..
