    for Frank Li, Dividend stocks are a great way to make a
    living especially for those of us who are retired. I have been
    investing in dividend stocks for 52 years and have no regrets.
    I retired at 44 (23 years ago) and make a 6 figure income, which
    is really what you want and need when you retire.     Reply

    The list you provided is a good start for research, but it's missing the dividend yield. Reply

    roncohen,

    Actually the clickable images are 560 pixels wide. Some browsers reduce large images (they are quite tall) and if you put your mouse over certain parts of the image you get an enlargement icon that allows you to see them it full. They are actually quite large and easy to read.

    Mary, I have reported this issue to SeekingAlpha, but need more information to potentially help you. What are you using MAC or PC? That can make a diifferent sometimes. This was done on PC and unfortunately I have MACS, but not at my curren tlocation (on vacation). Just tested SeekingAlpha and my blog and the images open as intended on PC.

    There may be (1) a cross-platform file compatability issue, (2) a temporary internet glitch that may not be a problem if you try again now, or (3) some kind of operator error.

    If you try again and it fails, email me and I will send you the image files as attachments:

    Did Specialty ETFs Provide a Cushion From the Fall? [view article]
    Most all professional are looking for a way to beat the market without suffering too much volatility. For most risk adverse clients holding bonds reduces beta and returns. For the more aggressive investors who does not mind a higher beta and just want to gain a significant edge on the market are looking for the ETF that will out perform the "market". For an example, isn't the RSP a slightly better core holding than the SPY?

    One idea for a negatively correlated ETF is one composed of companies that are in the "deep value" category. It would lag the market and in a market turn should out perform significantly.

    What are your thoughts?     Reply

    26 Dividend Paying ETFs By Yield [view article]
    The ETFs are market weighted or fundamental weighted. The average yield of the stocks comprising it is meaningless in the context of the ETF itself. Reply

    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.
