TARP Is Bad for Dividend Investors

I think the title of this post is misleading. TARP is not bad for dividend investors as a whole; just for those who may hold the named financial stocks. I do agree that financial companies getting taxpayer aid should not be paying out those taxpayer dollars in the form of dividends. However, there is a vast universe of other companies that are paying good dividends. I particularly, with appropriate caution, like some of the energy companies.
