  • 5 Dividend Stocks For A Tax Free Retirement [View article]
    I believe you can convert at any point. There are tax implications that you need to be aware of though. If you make an after-tax contribution to a traditional IRA and then, immediately, convert that to a Roth, there should be no tax issues (to my knowledge). But if you convert a traditional IRA which you contributed before tax dollars, or you have made investment gains in that traditional IRA, you will owe taxes when you convert. I'd suggest talking to a tax adviser before converting a traditional IRA if you've had it for some time.

    Thanks guraaf. Richin10's point about contributing to a traditional IRA and then converting that to a Roth is the best way at this time to bypass the income limits. This is allowed for 2011, I'm not sure if that is the case for 2012 so time may be limited. I am approaching this limit as well and am hoping we see an income increase for 2012.

    Thanks Juice 9, that's certainly something to keep in mind when evaluating the Canadian banks. I am curious about the real estate market there and if there are simlarities to the issues that caused the US mortgage crisis.

    Thanks for your comment jstratt. Personally I need C and BAC to get their payment and yield up before I will consider them. I do agree, If they can get past their legal troubles then each of their dividends should come up considerably.

    I was unaware of that, thank you eternal. I do state that I was only looking at the latest quarterly increase so I wouldn't say my statement was inaccurate, but this fact does lead to a misleading representation vs the US Banks. This is good information to know when doing further DD on the Canadian banks.

    Hi Tom - According to Yahoo Finance, just once during the mortgage crisis in 2009. It went from $0.66 (quarterly) to $0.10. It has since rebounded back to $0.44. The first quarterly dividend they paid in 1988 was $0.235 (split-adjusted).

    I agree as well Mike, AVA does have potential. I began looking at it when David Van Knapp mentioned it in his earlier comment. I intend to do further DD on it along with the others. Thanks.

    EXC did not make the list due to its flat dividend since 2009.

    Thanks for the info lucky. Further regulation could have an affect on their bottom line if they don't have a transition plan. I'd be interested to see if any of their plants have plans to move to natural gas. Or if that is economically viable for them.

    Good question kolpin. I currently haven't done enough analysis on these to give a good answer. Maybe other SA readers could share their thoughts based on their knowledge of the companies.
