    Natural Gas: The Alternative Clean Energy Investment [view article]
    Scott - yes, CLNE has possibilities, has gone up about 50 % recently. Pickens owns about 65% of it and I like his ideas. I expect that it will be some time before CLNE is profitable but I wish it well.

    193313 - Have you really looked at where they want to drill in ANWR - it is a salt water mud flat along the ocean. Prinstine indeed!

    Actually stocks will eventually correct 70%. If at the bottom, the ones that do not go out of business will be great buys. Which ones? Only the Shadow knows Reply

    Does anyone honestly think Las Vegas, the world's largest resort combine is just going to disappear? Then let me sell you some vacant land on Mt. Everest. This is a golden opportunity to accumulate LVS MGM, Boyd and Wynn shares at fire sale prices. If that wasn't enough, add Macau, the largest gambling mecca in the world which is frosting on the cake.

    agree with captain ccs: the point (a point) of buying dividend stocks is to take advantage of long term compounding. A ten year period would be more persuasive. Reply

    Thanks captainccs for your comments. You are absolutely right about the fact that I'm data mining. However, as with any stock purchase you face the potential for downside risk when you buy. For this reason, I only data mine the stocks that are part of Mergent's Dividend Achiever Index (approximately 350 companies) so that I don't experience buyer's remorse once I'm in a stock. If the price falls after the purchase, I can easily "justify" my position with the mantra of "buy and hold." In the meantime, I'll be compensated for my wait.

    As you pointed out, I selectively examine only those that pay dividends. Of course, in reality I only chose those that are current and former Dividend Achievers. This means that I forego the opportunity to get the highest yields and the stellar performing non-dividend paying stocks. However, I am assured by the fact that management has an interest in seeing that the shareholders are compensated for their wait for the "promises" to deliver to materialize.

    Intentional or not, what you listed as yearly performance appears to be performance off a recent 52-week low, two very different things. Reply

    Using the growth since the last 52 week low as an indicator of long term grow is just pure nonsense. All it shows is that these companies do bounce back and that is just reversion to the mean working. The only other path would have been to zero. This is an example of data mining,

    Also note these two statements:

    >> I always focus on those Dividend Achievers that are within 5% of their 1-year low
    >> When considering stocks to buy, avoid those that are in industries which are at or near a new high.

    Dividends are used to select a universe of stocks but nowhere is there a comparison between this universe and a universe of non divided paying stocks. All the above says is buy low, sell higher.

    Of the above list I hold FDO, the 5th or 6th highest bouncer-back on the list at 70.45%. I bought it three years ago when I thought it was at a low. Current Average Growth Rate (CAGR), a dismal 4.4%. Dividends did little to support this stock.

    ABP synbol has been changed to AXAS. I tried changing the symbol, but it doesn't recognize the new symbol. I enjoy reading Alpha Stock Alerts. Thank you. Reply
