    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

    Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
    "Wednesday August 20, 6:46 pm ET The banks are the three biggest players in the auction-rate securities market that have not already reached a settlement with Cuomo, who is seeking deals on behalf of regulators and state authorities. Five major Wall Street firms including Citigroup Inc. and Switzerland's UBS AG have agreed to $42 billion in settlements.

    For the next phase, Cuomo has directed staff to spend more time gathering facts and talking to the three banks about the sale of the risky securities, said a person inside the attorney general's office who asked not to be identified by name because he was not authorized to speak publicly."

    [[t]he $330 billion auction-rate securities market ...]

    MSM [aka corp/media according to george Ure] may be playing games with this story.

    "The courts, in practice, can do anything they want for the reason their actions are invisible to the public. But citizens are generally powerless to do anything about it for the reason of the reason of unaccountability in this system.

    "Newspapers don't report the news, they shape the news." quipped Libertad co-founder John Gowan.

    Mark Twain expressed a similar sentiment when he wrote "Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your HONOR. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse."

    Having been in Macau last month, I second the comment that the idea will disappear.

    The opposite has actually happened for tourist visits to Disney Hong Kong. Typically a migrant worker in one of the border towns would have to return home to apply for a Visa to go to Hong Kong. With revenue not meeting expectations, the Chinese government worked out a deal whereby tour groups could go directly to Disney, but no where else in Hong Kong. (The other tourist sites are complaining.) Thus, avoiding the migrant the issue of going home first, where they would most likely stay put.

    LVS and WYNN and MGM will throw a few dollars to their Chinese contacts and I have a feeling that the idea to curtail visits to Macau from 6 visits a year to 2 visits a year will disapear. Money talks in China the same as Washington. Continue to buy low and sell high and the gaming stocks are way too low now, (a great buy to hold) I'll sign my name Daniel Kowkabany 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

    This looks like a dartboard. Pick 3 sector ETFs, 3 little followed stocks

    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.     Reply

    4-5 index etfs probably would do it as well. don't tell me you can keep track and properly analyze and follow all of your holdings. way too many.

    Thank you for the article, Bespoke. Do you know a law firm that has the experience to investigate who is responsible for the naked short selling?

    Can the firms and individuals that are involved in naked short selling be sued by shareholders who have lost money because of the naked short selling?     Reply

    Incredible - the SEC is only going to enforce the law for certain stocks. Reply
