    Right.
    It would also be a service to readers to tell how previous year's dividends were treated for tax purposes.

    Norman.
    What happened to the >4% dividend rule? Have you turned more aggressive: looking for capital gains?

    Enjoyed your article and started some DD. How do you feel about internal vs external management?

    After tax dividend return to investors may depend on how much return of capital/capital gains is included.

    Exactly. And who needs a growing dividend of 0.8%?

    I'm looking for a position here but will have to wait for a good down day

  • Picking An All-Star REIT Team To Defend Against Interest Rate Risk [View article]
    Roger,
    My sentiments as well. My problem has been looking for good entry points as the prime ones just keep rising out of my reach.

    Do you like CVRR over CVI? My DD leads me to be almost set to jump on CVI. Icahn always fascinates me.
    BTW- i have been mistaken for him at times in elevators!

  • Why Freeport-McMoRan Will Close These Deals [View article]
    yes, well, someone somewhere must have done a study on price reaction to dividend cuts. I doubt a dividend cut moves stock up.

    More BBLs doesn't necessarily mean more dollars. Where is the price of oil going? No one discusses this?

    GOOD common pays roughly as much as the PFDs. A bit strange to me.

  • More from Gundlach: Not concerned about inflation, he calls TIPS (TIP) "pretty bad" investments and says he'll be a buyer if the 10-year (TLT) yield bounces back to 2% (off 3 bps today to 1.94%). As for the inevitable Apple (AAPL -3.3%) question - he prefers the common stock to the just-issued bonds. Warren Buffett says he prays for stocks he owns to go down in price - it allows him and company repurchase programs to buy at better prices. Is Apple putting money to work the last couple of days? [View news story]
    TLT? I thought it was the 20 year bond?

    "Pay off in the long term" How long?
    Are you concerned at all about a dividend cut to finance these acquisitions?

  • Optimizing Triple Net Lease REIT Investment: Time To Sell Realty Income [View article]
    Oh, the Taxman! Those lucky investors with profits in taxable accounts must remember to factor in the after tax switch to a higher yielder. Paying 25% capital gains means investing only 75% in that higher yielder which may/may not give better total returns per dollar.
