The Big Temptation For Dividend Investors Right Now [View article]
I will add to that that even buying best quality companies at high multiples will do as well if you are a long term by and hold investor, multiple decades being my criteria. I buy the best and put them away for the next generation and even the generation after that while reinvesting as many dividends as possible. Compounding over the long haul builds significant wealth and I do not pay any capital gains along the way.
I bought it for under a dollar. I am a long term buy and hold investor and plan to hold it for another decade. No trading, no in and out, no worries must put it in your portfolio and forget it until the story changes.
Dividend Stock Wars, Oil Edition: Exxon Vs. Chevron [View article]
All I will say is that I am disgusted with XOM. To keep this decades long stockholder they need to double their dividend soon or I will seek greener pastures because I live on those dividends and, you know, money goes where it is treated best. Sorry XOM, you are great but too stingy to your stockholders.
'Intel Inside' Will Push Qualcomm, Mediatek And Nvidia Outside [View article]
Sorry pal, but QCOM has the patents all locked up. Intel is yesterday's story. It cannot possibly bite into these extremely aggressive and successful companies.
I am so underwater on this stock, down 60%, ouch!, but I have been reinvesting my dividends all along and counting on a successful investment in the next decade.
The energy business is not going away anytime soon. Im very disappointed but not giving up.
Dividend Stocks With Prices Way Too Far Ahead Of Themselves [View article]
Holy Cow, there is too much for me to digest here. I buy a good stock and will keep it until I die with the vast majority of my dividends reinvested.
I am doing OK through thick or thin. I read all this stuff and just get confused so I hang on to a company until their story changes.
Oh, I make mistakes to be sure. I bought Biogen in 1991 and actually got disgusted and sold it at $ 70. Now that was stupid! ....and never mind how much I lost on Bank of America!.....but then there is Southern Copper, Praxair, United Tech., Colgate, etc., that bring home the bacon decade after decade.
I read this article because GPC was mentioned....I'll be hanging on to that for another couple of decades too....it has treated me very very well...ahh the power of compounding and sleeping well.
I thank those who buy and sell for they pay those capital gains that keep the government up and running and mine will be zeroed out in my estate. And, by the way I am always 99.6% in equities and have been for the past 50 years.
Time will tell if I end up on the slag heap or not but it's been a great life so far.
Qualcomm: The Antidote For The Depressed Apple Investor [View article]
I have owned QCOM for over a decade and my cost is below $ 10 so I am happy with my return but I feel they should give us anther big dividend boost every year until it is paying 3.5% yield. I have waited many years for this company to pay off and most of those years were with little or no dividend. Since I reinvest my dividends on all my holdings some stocks that have paid consistent large dividends for that decade have given me greater or equal returns. Compounding does it for me and the big dividend makes a difference.
AT&T And Verizon Break Up Bid For Vodafone? [View article]
After the dust settles what are the consequences for VOD shareholders? I am concerned with the VOD dividend and future growth prospects of whatever stock I end up holding. Thank you.
Implications Of The Deal Between Vodafone And Verizon [View article]
I can't see VOD spending the money received and do as well as it does under VZ wireless. No way. If they were lucky enough to reinvest the money well it would take years to get it back and with over 50 percent of their profits coming from VZ wireless I expect the VOD dividend to be crushed. To be sure I would bail out of VOD if they make such a stupid deal. I am in this for the dividend and money goes where it is treated best and that is in my own pocket.
If I do not see ten percent or better divinend increases from PG and XOM I will, reluctantly, have to sell after holding for decades. I will hate paying the cap gain taxes but as I need income I will add stocks and MLP's that will give me better than 5% yield.
This baloney about returning value to stockholders through share buybacks is just that, baloney, so they can offer "stock incentives" to already overpaid executives. It's money in my pocket that drives my interest in holding a security these days.
Having owned this stock for a decade or more, my only desire is an increase in the dividend so that it pays 3.5%. Long term stockholders need to be rewarded and a high dividend puts a floor under the stock.

When I read your headline I though "baloney" when I read the article I thought, "that guy has some very valid points"!
Thank you. I have been reinvesting my dividends for many many years and I am happy but I just might be happier doing what you do although picking a new stock at a lesser PE is also fraught with uncertainly while going with the old standbys that have treated you well for decades is easy. I will probably stick with what I am doing but I do have to say you have made me rethink a position I have held with certainty for many decades.
