    The Top Dividend Paying ETFs and Stocks [view article]
    for Frank Li, Dividend stocks are a great way to make a
    living 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

    Dumped my MOT, after a big loss, and put it into PNW because it has a good 6%+ dividend. Also the AZ CorpCommission that sets electric rates has been reasonable with PNW/APS rate increase requests. PNW should grow results in the last quarter 0f 08 and more in 09. Reply

    its all a self serving scam.the new word should be "suckerholder&quo... stockholder.the ceo's & bod's are just selfserving & nobody mentions the suckerholder in the boardroom. pay should only be by dividend fro shares bought by management & bod's & no options.that would straighten things out real quick.utopia?

    Jackooo...you are exactly correct. The companies send out proxies, etc., as a "feel good" exercise, not something that will result in any change of directors, management, etc. The mutual funds are not doing their jobs when they simply go along to get along with extreme compensation packages being set up by compensation committees. Any time a compny is losing money badly, but gives top executives major pay raises, something is wrong inside the management of the companies. Reply

    Years ago when it became so obvious to me that boards of directors were nothing more than good old boys clubs, rubber stamps for corporate executives and every bit as greedy, I began to look in the proxy for the identities of the Compensation Committee. Every proxy I have voted since I have withheld my vote for those committee members and have encouraged others to do the same. May never have an affect but at least its something I can do to express my dissatisfaction... Reply

    I have both T and CMCSA. I notice their executive teams are paid the most. That's a shame from these two losers.
    The SEC can make up lots more rules & I can vote against the board but unless the mutual fund companies vote their shares against the boards, we individual share holders might as well forget proxy voting.
    I cannot understand why the funds don't take the reigns? It is their clients that are losing money. It is true that most of the clients are dumb and lazy regarding financial savy but gezz. You would think the funds would do something, no??     Reply

    giving the people on the board hefty 'compensation' really amounts to a bribe by the top execs to keep the big exec $ coming, no matter what. Warren Buffet does it right, when it comes to this. good article. thank you. Reply

    Do you have any insight on why these are high yielding and are they really good investments? Reply

    Ten Highest Yielding Electric Utility Stocks [view article]
    Since this was published 15 months ago, the price of coal has gone up. How much has that affected the list yields? Do these still range as the highest? If not, could you publish a revised list? Would be great for the current market.

    Thanks     Reply

    Wonder what the sense of this company is at this point given that its price per share has been knocked way down along with the whole sector? Reply

    Yes you are correct, I used the wrong dividend number. The paragraph should read...

    If you had invested in PGN 7 years ago on this date, then you would be a very happy camper. The stock price has grown 48% from $32.98 to $48.75 at the close today. The dividend has increased 18% as well from $2.06 to $2.44. The yield on cost on those original shares would net you 7.4% today.     Reply
