9 Boss Basic Materials Dogs Decree 13.7% To 49.2% Gains In April [View article]
Thank you danceuport2 for your affirmation of my warning not to use these lists as recommendations. Especially these sector dogs may show high yields because their business model is in trouble and investors are fleeing a flawed or failing firm.

Thank you Norman Tweed. Your buy and hold to drip high yield dividend stocks is well crafted. FTR is an example of a positive outcome for a stock in this sector after a dividend cut. What are your thoughts about CTL?

Thanks Rhianni32 and Scooter Pop for your lively dialog concerning my direct reporting of Yahoo and YChart sector listings. Were I making this stuff up, I'd re-sector many companies. For purposes of these articles, however I'm sticking with the published sources and not my own opinions.

Thank you Rhianni32 for your correction to the YChart industry classification for WHX. YChart sector and industry classifications are sourced for the descriptions supporting these dog and analyst rankings. You and I and WHX and WHZ stockholders all know that a land trust is not a driller. Unfortunately YCharts and Yahoo continue to report WHX as a driller and WHZ as an exploration and production firm within this energy sector. My take is that these firms prefer to be listed as energy stocks instead of financial stocks.

Thank you Doug for your conjecture about HLF. Per the analysts HLF is about half way to it's one year mean price target of $57 which was posted last month. We'll see how long HLF takes to get there.
6 Top Industrial Dogs Seek 16.9% To 53.6% Gains In April [View article]
Thank you sts66 for your admonition regarding DCIX in this industrials sector. The shippers are a rough lot of dogs to play with. Very choppy prices with dividends that are known to come and go. Hence this listing is provided as a mere starting guide and not a recommendation. Unfortunately SDRL is not in this sector it is listed in the 26th slot of the energy sector dogs covered in pending article. The M/Y yield charts as of May 2 showed GMLP lower than the 35th slot in this industrial sector list. However, today it is listed at number 22 by yield therein.
10 Top Real Estate Dogs Run Down 14.3% To 24.4% Gains In April [View article]
Thank you Norman Tweed for your support and comment. Apparently so long as QE supports the MREITs business models, prices of these investment vehicles will hold. Dividends from a depreciating asset seldom compensate for the price decline in the supporting vehicle.

Thank you dbtunr for your "heads up"! In an April 30 press release PBI said: "The Board of Directors of Pitney Bowes Inc. (PBI) approved a reduced second quarter dividend of 18.75 cents per share for the Company’s common stock. The quarterly cash dividend is payable June 12, 2013, to stockholders of record on May 10, 2013. This action will provide the Company the added financial flexibility to invest in its business and enhance its capital structure, while continuing to provide a very competitive return to shareholders."
Regrettably I missed it. The smaller projected annual dividend of $.75 takes PBI out on the top 30 by yield. One year net gain is reduced to $133.35 based on the current $17 target price.
9 Top Industrial Goods Dogs Fetch 3.6% To 19.5% Gains In April [View article]
Thanks Bahamas1 for asking about price targets. This article (and the street) presumes that stocks that are near or beyond their 1 year target estimates have reached their limits and therefore at risk of flattening or tanking. Based on that assumption, a stock that has reached it's price target is ready to sell.

Thanks Bucknfl for your observation. The SDOG ETF is a broad sector fund based on the dogs of the S&P 500. It is easy. However it is not so narrow as the services single sector focus approach described in the article above.
