Dividend Investment Myths [view article]
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. ReplySector and Stock Performance Since Oil's Peak [view article]
I really feel that investors and analyists that take a short position on a certain stock should be banned from appearing on a business tv show to preach gloom and doom on the Company that they have taken a short position. They slipped up on CNBC yesterday and admitted that they have shorted the Company they were discussing/ ReplySolar Grade: A Silicon Revolution [view article]
Tell:Fully endorsed, dipstick and all.
truman:
Without getting into tech talk here Moore's law has performed very well over the past 40 years ( and made stock holders a great fortune) because it is based on a fundamental law of nature: the learning curve.
It expresses a constant % improvement in some performance metric each time the cumulative number of trials or practice attempts is doubled.
This is a no brainer: we learn by doing.
Economic drivers explain why Moore's law exists.
Learning curve theory explains how.
'The cost per unit decreases by a fixed percentage every time the total cumulative output volume doubles when measured in CONSTANT currency'
Taking measurements of more than 35 years the learning rate for solar PV has been an exceptionally stable number: 20 %, right in line with...computers.

Dividend Investment Myths [view article]
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. ReplyDividend Investment Myths [view article]
Buy dividend payers and avoid financials! ReplyDividend Investment Myths [view article]
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

Moore's law as applied to PV market is not a particularly useful or exact fit. See the article (Is PV Moore's Law Really On Track?) here:blogs.spectrum.ieee.or... Reply
