  • Markets Punish Dividend Cutters [View article]
    Antiquary,

    So far the statistics show that breaking with a dividend stock after a cut is a smart way to preserve wealth.

    Aalan,

    My reviews of companies cutting or eliminating dividends suggest that more bad news are ahead for stockholders in those that provide negative dividend news. I do write how much the stock has increased or decreased in a given week, but that's because I provide the dividend cuts on a weekly basis. I wish I had started tracking dividend cuts a long time ago..
    In a previous post I posted a chart from Ned Davis research, showing that dividend cutters or eliminators underperform the dividend growers and initiators over the long-term. So I wouldn't expect these stocks on average to perform well over time.

  • Top 15 Dividend Paying REITs [View article]
    Those are some pretty good stocks out there for which I have never heard anything yet.

    stc1,

    Nobody would take your comments seriously unless you provide some hard data evidence that David Powell's calculation data is wrong. You might be correct, but please next time you criticize something, please have your backup ready.

    Guliamo,

    What you are saying about RYN is generally correct. It doesn't have to chop down trees if it doesn't like the price. But how else is the company going to be able to generate the cashflow to pay dividends to shareholders?
