Apple May Raise Dividend

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL): JPMorgan’s (NYSE:JPM) Mark Moskowitz left a significant note for investors today, in which he believes that Apple is on the verge of a major leveraging up, and may take on as much as $15 billion to $20 billion in debt, while bumping the dividend yield to 4 percent. Moskowitz also anticipates earnings to be beat this quarter, as he defends the stock which fell below $400 on Wednesday for the first time since December of 2011.

Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDSA): Shell’s Nigerian subsidiary SPDC has lifted its declaration of force majeure on gas supplies to Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas, but has enforced a measure of force majeure Bonny Light Crude exports, as a result of the shutdown of the Nembe Creek trunkline. The closing has deferred production of some 150,000 barrels of crude. A spokesman attributed the closing to crude oil thieves, who siphon oil from the trunkline. The company is taking the opportunity to fix leaks, and remove “theft connections.”
