The All-Aristocrat Team: 20 Dividend Stocks Retirees Should Own In 2013 (Part 4) [View article]
It's easy to raise dividends every year when you start out with a negligible dividend. These stocks all pay practically nothing in yield. I'd rather look at stocks that pay at least 5% and contantly raise dividends, such as various MLPs (which also have tax advantages).
ViroPharma (VPHM +3.4%) trades higher after releasing its 2013 outlook this morning. The company says it expects net product sales to be between $450M to $475M. Analysts are looking for around $467M. The numbers are encouraging, because Cinryze has become key to the drug developer's future as the it's former blockbuster antibiotic Vancocin is expected to see sales hurt by the potential entry of generic rivals going forward.

The management here has played their drug development well. They have gone from a "one-trick pony" to a firm that brings additional income sources to market in thime to more than offset the effects of generic competition. The stock has acted well as a result. One very pleased stockholder here.

False. ACAS never filed for bankruptcy. They had a tough time for a while, as did most companies, particularly REITs, in the recession, but they have gone way up since.

Jonk - If you want to maintain any credibility you should not make obviously false statements.
The exponential growth and huge reserves of North Dakota's Bakken field puts it on course to produce more than 1M bbl/day by mid-2013, which would rank it among the world's most elite oil fields. Just 5K wells have been completed, but Continental (CLR) thinks the core could support up to 52K wells with four to eight wells per 1,280-acre unit for full development. [View news story]
Oil sands are not very economical. If the oil price declines much more, it may not be even worth mining. The costs are high and the environmental issues are significant. I'd rather be in the Bakken.

How about doing a little research before you make a recommendation. AGP is being bouth out by WLP, which is largley why it was up so much, and also why it is no longer a stock to buy.

LINE is the best hedged of these MLPs, is larger, and has a longer track record. If you lump them all together, QRE may be better than average, but that's not a basis for claiming it is the best.
Bernie1 - As elliot_milr says, US royalty trusts are a wasting asset. The distributions will go down to near zero over time unless oil prices go up. If you are risk adverse, you might be better off looking elsewhere.
You found my favorite stock - REFR. It looks like it is finally ready to start making big bucks. The costs should stay fairly stable and the income should skyrocket if all goes well.
