Pepsi Is A Decent Stock With A Healthy Dividend [View article]
Incredible dividend history. A great long term hold historically. If management continues to execute this should pay off. It outperforms the market to a large degree over longer periods.
Coke and Pepsi together can cover the sugar and snacks segment to a large degree. And with international exposure of course.
Would add that from a recent suggestion - bond funds may not replenish with higher yielding bonds - as there may be a run on the fund and the manager would be forced to sell.
Bond funds could face severe redemption issues that cripple future returns?
True. If people applied to the same discipline to investments as they do to paying their mortgage they would be much further ahead.
I think we've done well on our real estate, having bought at the perfect (lucky) time, but I'm likely only getting about 5-6% real return, annualized. No major correction yet here in Canada.

VIG has delivered a 55% total return from inception. Pretty solid numbers coming through and out of 2008-2009. That said, that 55% is simply a modest outperform of the s&p500.

I personally would have no idea how to navigate those waters. This may be a period when holding ETFs would be an advantage to an investor. One might be able to stay the course and keep reinvesting into the stock mix as the unit price declines - buying value.
I skimmed the Vanguard VIG and looked at the top ten as a portfolio in this article...
The dividends of top ten increased through the correction from VIG inception May 2006. And the total holdings for VIG increased their dividends from 2007 through the correction to present.
On income management chalk one up for the conservative VIG that looks for value, but certainly offers a lower yield.

Thanks Joey. This would be worth considering for those who don't want to manage 40-60 companies.
International diversification is important, and U.S. investors do not necessarily get that exposure to the degree that they might need by holding U.S. multinationals.
I did some research on foreign profits and dividends here. Sorry, your dividend are not coming home any time soon...
Thanks Boom Boom. Great site and portfolio tool. I would think that the PP would also serve in the wealth preservation phase as well. One might have to draw down against some assets that are performing well (gold?) but that would be a nice problem to have.
Agree. Many write on investing and on investing in individual companies and completely ignore the psychological implications. - when psychology is the most important factor.
I occasionally get asked how one can get rich quick. Of course I answer that you can't. But trying to get rich quick is usually a sign that big losses are to come.

It was Jeff Paul who wrote those articles on buying on the dividend cuts. Here's the returns synopsis from one of the articles.
"As a group, the average total return through 2007 was an 89% gain since the cut announcement date, and 137% through 2010. This translates into approximate annualized gains of 11% and 10%, respectively. This handily beat the respective S&P returns of 41% (6% annualized) and 29% (3% annualized) for the same time periods."

Some tough times, but those who held on through the lean years and troubling times were rewarded.

I would encourage some asset and regional diversification as well.
All said, dividends likely would not deliver an income stream that keeps up with inflation - if inflation returns to those lofty levels.
