Investing in Dividend Paying Companies

One comment worth considering. I purchased 1,000 shares of MO over 28 years ago and re-invested the dividends for over 20 years until I had amassed 20,000 shares (including splits). At the current time, I hold 20,000 MO, 20,000 PM and 10,000 KFT (I sold about 3,000). My current income from this original investment is over $70,000 a year, twice what I paid for the original Investment. I also have long time positions in other blue chip companies that have multiplied many times from my original investment.

U.S. Bank Dividend Yields Revisited

I've owned 6,000 shares of BAC for many years. By buying Countrywide, Ken Lewis has risked the credibility of what , in my opinion was the best bank. If he is able to make this buy a success and not cut the dividend, I will apologize, but if the dividend is cut, that s.o.b. should get thrown out on his ass, without a parachute!
