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. ReplyDividend 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

My bargain bins has 40 o 43 positions positive and many of the diidends stocks like RAI UST MO PM KFT BUD KO JNJ PFE etc have done fine This is all documented on my free website. Jeremy siegel talking about the power of reinvested dividends in his book How the tried and true beat stocks that dont pay dividends for the most part.He also talks about BRK and how it is an "exception".

the app. rate of inflation on the 5 basic daily needs is 15-16%.sadly these dividends are a joke.now corps. are beginnig to eliminate the matching 401k contribution.the dumb american middle class is being taken for a ride.a chart like this should show ceo & bod compensation & value of perks.no pay but dividends only for this group of scammers.that would change things.it would be great for the "suckerholders&qu... are the forgotten.

And the $1trillion questions is: who is that mysterious trader?Is it possible to agree with both Phil and Mmmark? Taxes should go where the oil is extracted, sounds logical. I don't mind stock buybacks because that money will flow where investments dictate and new energy will continue to be attractive at $100+oil. At the same time, oil companies are good at building large projects. As soon as one of them figures out that it is more profitable to invest in alternate energy generation then others will follow at increasing speed. I think the government can help by the proper carrot and stick tax policy that makes that stampede moment happen sooner. Reply

I tell you what BS, since anyone who read the last post where you turned out to be full of it yourself in the plays you claim I missed, why don't you try to explain how the AMZN or BIDU play are down big - I'm dying to see what line of BS you will need to come up with on those week-old butterfly spreads.As to AXP, the position was the Jan $45 calls with the Aug $40 calls sold against. It's called a bear call spread and AXP is supposed to go down, that's how we make the money. Perhaps first get a grasp of the basics before criticizing...

Phil's opines are more specific and to the point, David Fry is less an opinionator. Not to belittle the chart work cause it seems everyone enjoys it, but Phil is more open to attack cause you know exactly where he is. Quite refreshing, I might add. Reply
