You have some good points. I suspect that REITS are not of interest to you.
Actually one increase and five reductions. As mentioned in prior posts going from quarterly to monthly has to be calculated on an event basis, not over a 365 day period.
Sounds like a good article to write about collusion, and you can start here: http://on.mktw.net/13k...

I usually don't go for the special dividends, but I am glad it paid off for you. And it was good that you understood that it was a special dividend and not something you could expect on a regular basis.

Yes, ATI's stock chart has not looked good for the past two years, and everyone is looking for a worldwide recovery. Just to clarify, the stock picks were based on how well they correlated with increases in the ISM indexes, which this last month was positive, and Sabrient's ratings. Sabrient states the following reason for rating ATI highly: Value: A Sabrient Value Score of 94.4 for ATI indicates a solid potential for price gain along with reduced downside risk. Rigorous backtesting reveals that issues boasting scores in this range have a high probability of outperforming the market over the next three to four months.
Thus, if you are a value investor and think the ISM will continue to increase, ATI would be a good choice going forward. PS: I might be more interested in ATI if it paid a little higher rate, or the price was lower. (-:

I agree. I would just add that he wants to discourage savings. Living off others just meant that you saved and thus delayed consumption, and Warren Buffett of all people should know that, as he has lived a frugal life -- compared to his income.

I guess you are right about the default along with some other minor incidents according to:
Talk about a Black Swan event–US default has only occurred five times in the country’s history. In 1779 (government unable to redeem the continental currency issued during the Revolutionary War); 1782 (the Colonies defaulted on the debt they took out to pay for the war); 1862 (during the Civil War, the Union failed to redeem dollars for gold at terms stated by the debt contracts); 1934 (amid the Great Depression, FDR defaulted on the debt issued to finance World War I); and in 1979 (bureaucratic snafu resulted in missed interest on some small bills).
hockey11, NP. I decided to go long. I am not as convinced that dividend growth is necessarily the only factor to determine a good company to purchase. Consistent payouts are more important {IMHO}.
For DXL, they have been paying the 25 cents per quarter since August 2006. So if you mean the dividend yield going down because the stock accumulated in value, then that should be a positive. Shortly after then, the dividend yield was less than 1%.

Certainly it is a broad brush as we are looking at aggregates. Maybe in fact you are right, we should pay those employees the highest bidder. I in fact might be willing to do any of those jobs for a million a year plus benefits...
