    The stocks you sold have not done well and the stocks you are buying are even worse. Why not at least wait until they turn around a bit? Reply

    The Top Dividend Paying ETFs and Stocks [view article]
    Hi everybody:

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will look at some of ratios to add to the article. Also, for individual stocks, dividend growth rate is quite important in evaluating a stock's long-term performance in terms of dividend payout. However, due to limited resources, I am not sure if I can find all the information I need or not, but I will try. Actually, the initial purpose of the article was to compare the performance of dividend paying ETFs and see how much they are different from each other.

    Frank Emery: Yes, companies in the financial, utility and real estate sectors usually pay higher dividends. I will take a look at international dividend ETFs later.

    Frank Li: The ER column has the expense ratio of each ETF.

    bigjohn_hk: The main reason I am considering replacing Powershares ETFs with Vanguard ETFs is cost. Vanguard ETFs have much lower ER then Powershares ETFs and with a higher yield as well.

    Could you tell me, pls, why you are dissatisfied with PowerShares and are replacing them with Vanguard. I also own the same Powershare Divd. ETFs. Thanks Reply

    3 reasons to question the assumption here that high dividend yielding stocks or ETFs must be good:

    1. As Joe comments above, there's no discussion of dividend coverage.

    2. The theoretical case for dividends is weak. See Why Dividend Paying Stocks Are a Mistake.

    3. There's no discussion of the expense ratios of the ETFs -- even though the expenses are deducted from the dividends, and therefore lead to higher risk or lower growth for a given level of dividends.     Reply

    Some thinking needs to be done about the nature of the companies and the type of diversification that you want. For instance, utilities, banks or financial companies, conglomerates, industrials, energy, etc. What about U.S. companies versus international companies? Reply

    Couple of ratios that may add value is
    a) payout ratio: how much earning is being paid out as dividend. Some of the companies have payout ratio of >100%, which is unsustainable.
    b) dividend growth rate. I am more interested in consistent dividend versus, for instance, dividend that goes up or down based on commodity prices     Reply

    EXCELLENT ARTICLE. TWO SUGGESTIONS:
    1) SHOW RATIO OF DIVIDENDS TO EEP OR FFO
    2) WHAT ABOUT PREFFEREDS? OPP,SD     Reply

    I agree that the lower spot prices won't kick for another 6 months or so. Reply

    Coal Cost Reduction Saves Big for Utilities [view article]
    Re: Ameren Corporation (AEE), total of 1.2M electricity and 125,000 gas customers in Missouri in addition to 1.2M electricity and 835,000 gas customers in Illinois. Of particular significance is the 20% to 40% price increase to Illinois electric customers effective 01/01/07 after a 10 year rate freeze and supply contracts expired at end of 2006.

    Competitors are trying to lure customers away emphasizing the new rate hikes (see; electricityiq.com/illi... ). Overall, rate hike should yield higher returns, most likely leading to higher dividends as well.

    Company expects cost of coal to increase 15-20% in 2007 from current levels! AEE hedges quite heavily. Lower spot prices probably won’t kick in for another 6 to 8 months (presumption only – no info).

    hi,

    I have been reading seeking alpha transcripts for more than two quarters now, you speed is fantastic. But, one thing i have noticed you cover all the industry toppers. I would like to know if you are covering these tickers: RUTH, PBH, STKL, and CALL? All four companies have their earnings release this week.

    Also, I don't know if you are covering any ticker, until the trans appears. Of course previous transcripts gives us an indication. But, is there a way to know your coverge in advance?

    Thanks.

    You are doing a great job. Keep it up.
