    Here's a 2-yr chart showing how much money you LOST while chasing "dividend aristocrats", finance.yahoo.com/q/bc...
    All the financials should be MANDATED to cut or eliminate dividends using taxpayer Fed bailout money, don't be surprised to see those cuts.     Reply

    Due to exposure to sub-prime CDO's, SIV's etc, and thier pending take-over bid for Country Wide, Bank of America would be the last stock I would own. Reply

    I wouldn't own Bank of America stock if you paid me to accept it as a gift, and it paid a 100% dividend. They are the most arrogant, hateful, self-serving bunch of louts I have ever done business with. They could not care less if you deposit money with them. They charge fees no other bank would even consider charging. It would not surprise me if they installed pay water fountains and pay toilets for their customers to use!

    I took $300,000 out of their bank to open an account with a competitor and it didn't bother them one bit. What's a peanut account to them? Of course, there just might have been a lot more money to deposit later on, but that doesn't matter to their elitist mind set.     Reply

    I feel that SGP is a better drug company than PFE because it has patent protection out several years. Reply

    Well, PFE with it's rather (non) robust pipeline is in trouble and I don't see it in the Aristocrat field. Reply

    Take a look at www.dividendachievers..../. In particular, take a look at the list of "licensed products". Compare the Powershares PFM with Vanguard's VIG. Note also the comparison of the index performance with that of the S&P 500 over 10 years. S&P wins. Reply

    I work for a Nucor subsidiary and I can't say enough good things about upper management and how well this company is run. The treatment of employees is extremely fair and done with a great deal of integrity. I personally can see why Nucor is the top player in many of its downstream operations. We strive to "Take Care of Our Customers". I do own company stock and recommend the stock to everyone I know. Reply

    I would think the companies track your basis, to make their service simple to use. Reply

    It would be tax form madness to do it this way for anything other than some kind of tax-deferred retirement account.

    For a taxable account, consider a simpler strategy; let a chunk of cash build up in the account and use your broker's trading software to set up a buy triggered by reaching your preferred low price-point. You may not reach that price point, but if you get close enough to suit you you can step in and execute the buy manually. Buying a chunk at a reasonable discount once a year beats dealing with tax complexity for multiple share purchases (actually, the later selling is the problem).     Reply
