To Lesers' on the money comment I would add the following factual information-Since 1927, dividends have
contributed over 44% of the total
return of the S&P 500 Index,
with pure capital appreciation
accounting for less than one
third of total return and if those same dividend
payments had been reinvested, dividends would
account for over two
thirds of total return over the
same time frame.

I agree with jimsep and Menachem Ben Yakov.When purchasing a stock, look for the reasonable payout of -- what 25% or 50%, ballpark figure -- profits to the stockholder in the form of dividends (not so much buybacks, which I suspect may be to makeup for all the stock thrown at the executives of the company to cover their raiding the profit cookie jar.)
It's old fashioned fiscal responsibility at running the business the company says it's in. Buying other companies should be judiciously done, not in a greedy way to spend the shareholders' money, as if the shareholder doesn't know what to do with it. He or she should use the dividends to buy more of the same stock. If the company is that good, the shareholder probably would.
Of course, companies with high dividends and high debt--well the debt washes out the benefit of the current dividend, I would say.
Yes, if we went back to the traditional high dividends--even after a 15 (or 20% taxation in the future?), it would be one way to know the executives of the company are really working for us. What a novel thought.
Dividends, dividends, dividends. The proof is in the pudding.

Both HSBC and Lloyds TSB have committed to a progressive dividend policy and have adequate capital to maintain that policy. I applaud the write as the fundamental truth regarding any stock, that its worth increases regardless of market conditions if its dividend increases, is often ignored.Great article and should be read by every investor.

If more banks paid out more dividends to their shareholders (why not, that's primarily what they are there for) they would be paying more attention to what they were doing with their money and less likely to do the stupid things they have been doing. ReplyDividends Show Differences Between Financials [view article]
dividends have been raised at ACAS, which I consider to be superior to any of the stocks mentioned in the article.and looking at stocks like LEH and AIG it is pretty obvious that dividends were raised contrary to the companies' fundamental shape just to keep/attract investors.
Go figure. Reply

Dividends are also the first thing to be cut as these supposed pillars of strength falter. These issues will all be dropped as the market continues to deteriorate to the 9,200 levels. For more information click on my site link.Richard Reply
ETF Industry Data Summary: 1H'08 [view article]
I think it is great that more investors are investing in ETFs. I just shows that the market players are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of ETFs over Mutual Funds and individual stocks. I hope to see the numbers grow over the next few years. ReplyETF Industry Data Summary: 1H'08 [view article]
quick onceover suggests investors are getting more savvyin both diversification, including leveraged funds, bonds, etc
and intolerance to excessive costs (vanguard flies vs bgi, ssga, holdrs; or at fund level: e.g. vwo vs eem)
p.s. freudian slip?
"total ETF asses"?

Why Have Most Investment Advisers Been Slow to Adopt ETFs? [view article]
Old codger RIA's who grew up on stock-picking eventually accepted no-load mutual funds as part of their strategies to mix in with individual stocks. ETF's are next.RIA's need to sell the fact that individual products like ETF's are the ingredients and the RIA is the one who makes the stew. Making the stew gets you a fee. There is differentiation when you mix in some individual stocks, with some well-chosen mutual funds & some ETF's. A client will see that unique mix and be willing to pay -- while sticking a client 100% into a global asset allocation ETF will not work for the advisor in terms of a fee.

Re CALM: I also have read about it (see Marketwatch listed articles), including one guy saying it will be "the mother of all short squeezes." Certainly seems like it should -- but it's been dropping, and fast -- WHY?! Help! Need to understand.Gaucho: What is the average short price now? % short? And time to cover? Surely not still $8, and I'm afraid they will cover before it has to go it.
Disclosure: Long on CALM. Don't want to lose money on it. Am off to check on shortsqueeze.com, but first:

We did it again:March 30th we said:
"1) CROX is dead: someone out there knows something, otherwise the stock wouldn't be trading at such a low PEG ratio; also don't expect a pop unless sales pick up drastically and as we all know, they are DECELERATING....."...
Today -- CROX - 30% in after hrs on nasty guidance, we expected nothing less from arguably the creepiest management in the footwear space
