Seadrill Continues To Deliver On Growth Promise [View article]
I bought SDRL at $39 in Dec on the basis of one of these articles and my look at their finances. They have done nothing but go down since then. I still feel good about their chances of putting these new rigs to work and doing well in '13 but this article has done nothing to increase my confidence.

Alright, who owns Emeritas? First you tell us about the $1.7B acquisition by HCP. Then, in the last paragrph, you talk about how VTR will see great benefit from the aquision of Emeritas. I'm just curious because my mother is living in one of their assisted living centers
Building A 6% Income Portfolio For 2013 (Part 9): Materials [View article]
I tend to think of 2 - 3% yield as a waste of time. I'm retired and supplementing my social security with dividend income and I usually don't waste my time with less than 5%. When I was building my retirement I would save my dividends up and buy another issue. Now that I'm retired I just keep them in cash (except now they are building up on me) I am far exceeding my Required Minimum Distribution in annual income each year and never touching my Principal. I average about 7% dividends (incl '08). That's my retirement plan and I'm sticking to it.

Why would you have to sell stock? The numbers used are very conservative on the dividend side too. I easily manage to make 7% avg on my dividends. And, you will note, that the value of the portfolio increases as well.

How much do they pay you guys to endlessly hype these issues. I bought into MDLZ on the advice of many of you guys and because Yahoo mis-stated the expected dividend. Since than it has waffled until these earnings came out and now you're still hyping it, even in the face of a 4% loss. Marvelous.

How much do they pay you guys to hype MDLZ? I bought it in Oct because I thought I would get a great, long term dividend from it but it has done nothing up wobble up and down, plus, it turns out that the dividend is nothing like Yahoo was reporting. I should have consulted a Lawyer to get the straight story. Now the 4Q earnings come in $0.02 low and the damn thing drops like a rock, currently down 3.23%. And all this while I have heard nothing but hi-praise and glowing reports. What a CROCK!!
I have lost more money over the last 27 yrs because of my "brokers advice" then I have ever lost on my own. I now trade with one of the major online brokers using my own knowledge and experience. I have to live with my trade decisions and I have no one to blame but myself now. Been retired for 5 years now living on SS and my dividends and doing very well, thank you.
Excellent, well presented article. Oh, One thing. MDLZ has fallen more than 40% since it went public on it's own. It dropped like the proverbial "Simonized Brick". Thanks for the advice.
