Facebook Allowed Some Accounts to be Accessed Without a Password
As if Facebook didn't have enough problems, according to an article by the BBC which reported information from the Hacker News website, accounts at Facebook (FB) have been accessible without a password. However, the company acted right away in closing this loophole.
Apparently, hackers could see the email addresses of Facebook users. The problem related to a feature that allowed users quickly log back in to Facebook.
First, Facebook, which trades on NASDAQ, was hit with a poorly performing IPO after-market. Then it turned out that the major investment bankers had reduced their earnings forecasts for Facebook during the IPO roadshow, including Morgan Stanley (MS), JP Morgan (JPM), and Goldman Sachs (GS). It was then hit with securities investigations and lawsuits began developing. The stock is now down around 44% from its original trading price.
Facebook trades at 110 times trailing earnings and 33 times forward earnings. Year-over-year revenues for the latest quarter were up 32.3%. The stock holds over $10.45 billion in cash, with $902 million in total debt.

Natural Gas Stocks are a Gas Gas Gas
Natural gas has tanked 39% this year, the worst performer of all the commodities. Natural gas should increase to $4 per million BTU pretty soon, according to Goldman Sachs (GS). This is primarily due to production cutbacks from major producers and increased demand from utilities this year. It is significant since gas dropped 39% this year, the worst performing of all utilities.
There are many publicly traded companies involved in the distribution of natural gas, to both homes and businesses, and over 15 over them have yields in excess of 3%. For example, TransCanada Corp. (TRP), based in Calgery, Alberta, Canada, owns and operates natural gas pipelines and regulated gas storage facilities throughout Northern California. The company, which trades at 20 times earnings, pays a generous yield of 4.0%. (Talk to your accountant about foreign withholding tax, especially when foreign stocks are put in a retirement plan.) Earnings for the latest quarter were up 37.5% on a 14.7% rise in revenues.
Enterprise Products Partners LP (EPD) is another high yielder gas company, which yields 4.9%. The stock trades at 21.6 times earnings, and earnings for the latest reported quarter ending December 31, were up an amazing 351.3% year over year, on a revenue increase of 20.9%. The company reports earning on May 2.
More options are available and worth further research including Northwest Natural Gas (NWN) at a 3.9% yield, WGL Holdings Inc (WGL) paying 4.0%, and Sempra Energy (SRE) at 3.7%.
