    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.

    Do Dividend Stocks Underperform the Market? [view article]
    Of course Schwab is going to diss dividend stocks. People tend to buy and hold them, which means "lost" commission revenue for Schwab. Completely self-serving on Schwab's part.

    And isn't it interesting that one can "lose" something one never had?

    It makes perfect sense that Schwab would diss dividend paying stocks. Investors tend to trade in and out of these infrequently, which lowers a brokerage's commission revenue. Reply

    It seems like the key is to buying dividend paying stocks because they "keep you in the game". But at the same time don't buy dividend paying stocks which have a large yield becasue of a fundamentally depressed stock (GM, C, BCS,) Reply

    My portfolio which is documented on my free website shows that dividend paying stocks have OUTPERFORMED PROVIDED you buy the right ones at the RIGHT PRICES. UST KFT MO KO RAI PFE BUD have all been bought in my"bargain bins" and done well. What you are looking for is GROWTH and SAFETY as well as dividend Reply

    "the rules of the game have changed so much"

    Yes. Just like they'd changed during the tech bubble.

    Or so some thought.

    18 years period or 35 years period? Who cares! In the log term we are all dead. If you buy Dogs of the Dow today, you buy GM and Ford. That's way too risky. Every stock should be researched on its own merits, dividend is just one of the variables. And if you don't have time to research individual stocks, invest in mutual funds or ETFs. Even then research is needed. Of course, there are also index funds, but if you invested in such in 2000, you did worse than with CD (which, by the way, is FDIC insured and your principal is definitely safe). Reply

    Does anyone have direct experience with Jack J. O'Malley, author of "The New Dogs of the Dow"? The Dogs of the Dow has been underperforming for the last decade, and the focus of it is buying the 10 highest dividend yielding stocks in the dow. Selling some of the gains from the best performing Dow stocks to add to the ones like GM would sure be an example of selling some high and buying some low. IF GM survives. Any thoughts? Reply

    An accurate comparison would be between low yield and high yield stocks of the same sector and with similar market cap. Reply

    I suppose one could "cherry pick" a time period that proved what ever one wanted to prove. The relevance of the article has more to do with ones age, are you retired now?, are you retiring in 10 years, 30 years?-makes a big difference. Reply

    Managing Portfolio Allocations With ETFs [view article]
    Where are your asset classes? You have 11 industries, yet you have 10.8% in financials. What about foreign securities? What about real estate, commodities, or alternatives? Secondly, where is the investment selection process? I don’t see how any asset allocation software could deliver the asset allocation mix you own. Thirdly, where is your risk management? If you change your risk model to Conditional VaR (Expected Shortfall) and weight your data using GARCH you would have avoided financials all together.
    Diversifying assets following the concepts asset allocation is not true portfolio optimization. You might enjoy reading Mandelbrot’s book ‘The (Mis) Behavior of Markets to better understand the newer asset allocation strategies like Extreme Value Theory. Cheers
