    Dividend Paying Stocks: Don't Discount Them Just Yet [view article]
    too often share buy backs simply mask share grants to management. you have to look at number of shares outstanding over a 3-5 year time period to truly evaluate share buy backs and a company's real financial policy. and there are companies that reduce number of shares outstanding and pay nice dividends - ITY for example.

    Dividend Paying Stocks: Don't Discount Them Just Yet [view article]
    I think the greatest point in the article was the comparison between the types of businesses of dividend and non-dividend stocks. On the whole, the non-dividend stock constantly need to innovate to stay ahead, whereas the dividend stocks generally have solid products, which don't need to be changed, which customers buy again and again in an up or down economy.

    The products will never change (at least not anytime soon), but the companies have the cash to simply buy other companies with solid products, and add this to their own array of products.

    3 Portfolios for a Steady Cash Flow [view article]
    The author makes a compelling argument to those of us looking for a monthly income. I think, however, he overlooks one very important point when comparing a fixed-rate one-life annuity against this income generating portfolio and that is at the end of term (when you die), the annuity ends but the stock portfolio remains. In addition, the stock portfolio will offer somewhere between a little and a lot of inflation protection through dividend increases and potential capital gains.

    To Darkseas - you are correct about the 15% Canadian withholding and the tax is lost if you hold the Canroys in an IRA of Roth. Holding them in a taxable account however will let you claim those taxes as a credit on your U S income tax, in effect giving you the full benefit of the 12 - 14 % yields currently being paid.

    It's important to note that HTE, ERF, and PWE are Canadian companies. That means that they must withhold 15% tax on the distribution.

    I'm not an accountant, but I believe that if you hold the stock in a tax-deferred or tax-free (Roth) account, you cannot deduct that tax. The Canadian companies tend to have higher payouts, and you should do the math to see if that compensates.

    Canada is considering legislation to substantially increase the tax on distributions from pass-through entities. The current proposal includes a phase-in until 2011, but it's not clear how things will turn out.

    Bottom line: If you're paying U.S. taxes, it's probably less of a hassle to go with CRT, SJT, and/or HGT.

    regardless if you are working or retired bear in mind that the 5 daily needs are rising at app. 15-16%.so these returns are better than most but not quite good enough.i have no agenda or connections but check out FRO & NAT.no one has figured out a way to pave over the ocean & oil can be piped or shipped. so these co's with their doubled hull tankers will do well in the near future.

    Perhaps I can thorough in a question bugging me. In a tax deferred account (college 529 plan) for the next 6 months to 1 year, which of these 2 invesments should have the better return? It is expected that interest rates will be on the increase, so money market rates will also increase. How will a inflation protected fund like Vanguard VIPSX do compared to a money market? Reply

    Great article.

    I currently user EFR and FCO for my monthly bond income. I also have some exposure to RCS and CHY. From the energy sector I use ERF. In real estate I use IGR.

    These are just a few. I love the monthly income flow. Currently, I am just plowing it back through reinvestment, but can turnthe spickey on at any time.

    Anyone else have some monthly ideas?

    I invested $10,000 in MO over 25 years ago. With re-invested dividends and splits, I now own 20,000 shares of MO, 20,000 shares of PM and 10,000 shares of KFT (I sold about 3,000) My current income from these stocks is over $70,000 a year. Owning a stock that pays no dividend is like owning a business and not being paid a portion of the profits. Only a moron would do that. Reply
