The Ups and Downs of Drips [view article]
DRIP administrator Computershare has upped its Sell fees: Each market order fee is $20 plus $0.10 per share sold . To sell 4,000 shares would cost $20 plus $400 unless you transfer shares out to a broker and sell thru the broker. ReplyThe Ups and Downs of Drips [view article]
DRIPS were my favorite way to invest, for a decade, and I blogged about them extensively. When the stock market became a casino, around the summer of 2007, I realized that no one could handle investing for years, with month after month of dollar-value investing, only to see their nest egg crushed within three trading sessions, by hedge fund hooligans "outwitting" one another. It's like trying to grow a victory garden while a bunch of idiotic teen-agers "backyard wrestle" in your plantings. ReplyThe Ups and Downs of Drips [view article]
DRIP investing is a terrific way to & cost average. I have been a shareholder of XOM for over 12 yrs. My div yeild based of my cost basis is over 9%. Stargazer thanks for the info re WFC, I have a mortgage with them. ReplyThe Ups and Downs of Drips [view article]
Mr. Stoyanov, I have appreciated reading your articles since I have been coming to this website. Thank you for taking the time and effort to contribute.When I read this particular article I wanted to comment on my experience with dividend reinvestment.
I have a Roth IRA through Wells Fargo Bank. WFC has a program that if an individual has $25,000 or more in their total accounts they offer the first 100 trades for free per year. This resets every year for another 100 free trades as long as one has the minimum amount in their accounts.
Now, I have my Roth IRA setup that all dividends are automatically reinvested. This does not cost me anything, nor do these count towards the 100 free trades a year.
Further, I have a regular account for trades with WFC as well. Again, it has its own 100 free trades that are separate from the Roth IRA. Like the Roth IRA, this number also resets to 100 once a year as long as all my accounts have over $25,000 total.
So, technically I have 200 free trades a year. That comes out to a savings of roughly $1500 a year (assuming if I did 200 trades). For most investors out there, this may not be helpful, but to the small investors that may only make a few purchases a year, this knowledge may provide another option to helping reach their goal of retirement.

I am in the ExxonMobil IRA and there are two definite advantages not mentioned in this article. One, ExxonMobil does a bang-up job of communicating, sending quarterly and annual reports and shareholder publications, and obviously appreciates their participants. Two, there is no recurring brokerage commission for additional or periodic stock purchases beyond the dividend reinvestments. My only quibble is an annual $45 administration fee, which is a small percentage of a five-digit portfolio. ReplyThe Ups and Downs of Drips [view article]
TD Ameritrade allows you to enroll some, all or none of your stock in a DRIP with partial shares. Both in regular taxable accounts and in Roth IRA's (I would assume traditional IRA's as well) They also track the cost basis of each lot of shares for tax purposes.

for Frank Li, Dividend stocks are a great way to make aliving 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

Hello. Is there an Emerging Market ETF that has included Alibaba.com ipo there holdings? Or, is there a new ETF which includes alibaba.com for those who cannot purshares the shares for quite some time? ReplyThe 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 ReplyThe Top Dividend Paying ETFs and Stocks [view article]
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? ReplyThe Top Dividend Paying ETFs and Stocks [view article]
Couple of ratios that may add value isa) 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
