  • Blue-Chip Dividend Aristocrats - There Is A Lot Of Value In This Market: Part 4 [View article]
    I love this 6.5%+ EPS Yield Rule...I never thought of that before! I am now officially adding the Carnevale Rule to my Chowder Rule and applying them both to every stock in my shopping list!

    one question though...my calculations for T and VZ are wonky. I have T's EPS at .75, and when applied to yesterday's closing price of 36.92, I get 2%. My VZ is off too. Do you know why this is?

    thanks!

  • Buy Kinder Morgan Today For Dividend Increases [View article]
    thanks for all the advice. I'll sell KMP immediately and buy KMR or KMI in my Roth. Is there any danger to buying LinnCo immediately after the IPO? The word IPO always scares me, even if LinnCo is just a version of LINE...

    do you recommend LinnCo or LINE for a Roth IRA? Are there any hazards to be aware of re. jumping in on LinnCo's IPO?

    is LINE best purchased in a ROTH or a taxable account? I'd prefer avoiding the K-1 forms...

    Thanks so much for your answer. One more question...I'm also interested in buying LINE. Do I buy this in a ROTH or my taxable? Or are there other entities that are more favorable?

  • Buy Kinder Morgan Today For Dividend Increases [View article]
    I made the mistake of buying KMP in my Roth IRA a few months ago. I have about a 15% gain on it so far....so my big question is, what do I do now? If taxes/UBTI weren't an issue, I would definitely hold onto it, but I'm afraid that there could be ramifications down the road if I do. I don't own KMR/KMI, and don't particularly want to buy at this point, as all of their prices have increased substantially in the last month. Is the best course of action to sell KMP and then buy into KMR/KMI down the road on a pullback? KMR and KMI are both equally good for a ROTH, correct?

  • Dow Theory Update For Oct 10: Secondary Trend For Stocks Turned Finally Bearish [View instapost]
    great, can't wait! i'm also curious to hear your follow-up thoughts on rails/transports. I've been holding off on buying CSX/NSC for the time being, but would eventually like to take a small position. Just not sure on the timing of it.

  • Intel: Nice Price Or Falling Knife? [View article]
    if it makes you feel any better (not that you should feel bad, mind you), my broker bought QCOM for me at $68 this past spring. now I'm raking in a measly 1.6% dividend yield while I wait/hope/pray for it to go back up. but wait, there's a silver lining! since then, I found seeking alpha/DGI investing and impeached by broker--thereby saving the $1k in commissions they would've charged me. so net/net, I'm ahead! thank you QCOM for helping me see the light!!

  • Dow Theory Update For Oct 10: Secondary Trend For Stocks Turned Finally Bearish [View instapost]
    ooh, so we are in a secondary reaction...so now what? :-)

    is it time to start looking for good bargains, or do we wait for further retracement? if the secondary started on 9/14, then it could potentially be over very soon, right? or conversely it could last into Jan 2013?

    can't wait to read your follow-up articles.

    great articles--I read each and every one! I'm curious to hear if you think a secondary reaction is starting to form or if this is just another pullback today...

    are you tempted to sell off the rest of NLY yet, or are we still holding the course?

  • Protected Principal Retirement Strategy: What If? [View article]
    my understanding was that equity REITS like OHI and O held up as well as MLPs during 2007-2009, with their dividends. wouldn't you want to hold instead of reduce, if we hit a rough patch?

  • Why It's Not Always About Yield [View article]
    some industrials, e.g. DOV, and pharmaceuticals, e.g. TEVA, look to be bargains too. after a bit of a slumber for the past couple months, I've been nibbling today. hoping to snap up more over the next couple of months.

  • Caterpillar Is A Dividend Growth Stock To Buy At This Time [View article]
    I'm tempted, but sitting on my hands, so I don't buy too soon. I did buy some Teva instead, which helped calm my itchy trigger finger.
