Dividend-Paying ETFs: A Source of Retirement Income [view article]
For example IYR is down a bit over $18 over the past year to $68.63 on the latter price the "yield" is 5.6% paid annually (? not quarterly?).The Ms rating is for "above Average Risk" against lower than average Return !!
True this may a time for "turn" in IYR, but for retirement capital???

Dividend-Paying ETFs: A Source of Retirement Income [view article]
How about adding a comment about "safety of capital," for those events when liquidation may be required for emergencies.One way to do that is add a comparative list of "total return" for each of the ETFs listed; or, better show a table of their fluctuations.

Russia, the fourth BRIC country, does have its own ETF. " RSX is the ticker for Market Vectors-Russia ETF. This ETF seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the DAXglobal Russia+ Index from Deutsche Bourse. The index represents 38 publicly traded Russian issuers and is designed to tract the price movements of securities of Russian companiees traded on global exchanges.Reply

Nice summary. Regarding Russia, isn't RSX a Russia ETF ReplyThe Top Dividend Paying ETFs and Stocks [view article]
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? ReplyWhy Dividend Paying Stocks Are a Mistake [view article]
I'm not sure how much space this will allow me. But respectfully, as a dividend investor (I make my living this way) I must disagree on nearly every point.You stated: Total returns from stocks are defined by a simple equation: the total return on a stock equals the appreciation in the stock price plus the dividends you earn while holding the stock
True. On the surface it's that simple when counting the base, gross income one receives from being a dividend investor.
But you reached a conclusion after this based on an assumption. That assumption follows as such: That there is no guarantee that it will be paid, and that the taxes on said dividends make them pointless.
So instead of just having the asset valuation increase, I have both. You don't. You also assume that there is no way to legally avoid those taxes. Which there is. But you didn't address that point. You seem to base your half of your argument stating that it's speculative to become a dividend investor, since dividends aren't guaranteed, without admitting that this same risk (speculation) applies to buybacks. Your arguments against looking for good companies that pay regular, consistent dividends (I have stocks that have been paying dividends since 1903), could be applied equally against your method.
Of course dividends are never guaranteed. Neither are they, by themselves, an indication of a companies health. You are perfectly correct there. But to paint the wide brush with such a fact, is well . . . just that. Using a very wide brush to come to some rather hasty conclusions.
I'm sorry, but your entire article is a bit misleading, and seems to only cover one side of the issue. Reply

The list you provided is a good start for research, but it's missing the dividend yield. ReplySteenbarger

Great points; it is indeed risky to have most of one's dividend eggs in a single sector basket. It's when the stronger financial issues are offering yields comparable to relatively riskless returns that the sexy factor comes into play.Brett Reply

Suddenly, Safety is Sexy [view article]
Dividends may be sexy is a flat market but PEY, sexy? Dividends can't make up for a fund that opened at $14.77 when launched in Dec 2004 and today trades at $13.78. Based on price, PEY has underperformed the S&P500 by nearly 20% in the last year. ReplySuddenly, Safety is Sexy [view article]
Brett, this is a great article. But I think your point about PEY illustrates exactly the problem with focusing on dividends. People think they're buying dividends, but in fact they're buying financial stocks, REITs or utility stocks, all of which have specific risks. In this case, financial stocks seemed cheap but they weren't because of their exposure to the over-leveraging of the consumer sector. So PEY got creamed.And REITs are at all time valuation highs, and utility stocks also.
Isn't the correct conclusion: be <b>really</b&... carefully of dividend stock baskets without looking carefully at what's in them? Reply

Yield Investing: Dissent on Dividends [view article]
"Don’t get me wrong, I like dividends; my portfolios yield much more than the markets. But I don’t go looking for dividends. I look for companies that generate cash earnings. What they do with the cash earnings is important; I don’t want management reinvesting the cash foolishly, but if they have good investment prospects, then please don’t send me dividends."That's the best formution I've read of this issue.

roncohen,Actually the clickable images are 560 pixels wide. Some browsers reduce large images (they are quite tall) and if you put your mouse over certain parts of the image you get an enlargement icon that allows you to see them it full. They are actually quite large and easy to read.
