Highlights from the September 23 Featured Expert column by Jack Adamo include: Fording Canadian Coal Trust (NYSE:FDG) this week declared a quarterly dividend of 80o Canadian, which is about 72o U.S. This represents an annualized annualized Of or relating to a variable that has been mathematically converted to a yearly rate.

As Adamo said when he recommended this company, he expected the share price to fluctuate, but the yield, even in bad times, would stay above that obtainable from bonds, and in good times, it should beat almost any return you can get legally. The stock remains true to expectations. Although it is down 12.5% for Adamo and his team, it is holding its own better than any pure play coal stock. This is to be expected with high dividend-paying stocks. There's less fear from selling because you know you're getting a steady return on your investment; you're not relying on the vagaries of the market. Teva Pharmaceutical, Ltd.

Teva is the best operator in its industry. It may actually gain by this move, if it becomes a major provider to Wal-Mart. It certainly has the capacity and efficiency to be. That's up in the air, but Adamo would expect this and other recent issues to have a relatively small impact on the company. Smithfield Foods (NYSE:SFD) also had a bad week, when it announced it was acquiring fellow pork producer, Premium Brands. Frankly, since Smithfield is number one in size and Premium is number two, Adamo will be surprised if this transaction gets approval here and in the EU without major divestitures. But, although Adamo is not usually a fan of growth by acquisition, Smithfield has an excellent track record in this regard; so, he'll be happy whether the merger is approved or not.
