Investing In Dividend Growth Stocks: My Portfolio Of 25 [View article]
I'm not sure that the insiders who own - and have recently purchased - KMI would agree that it'll just be a "passing fad." But, time will tell, and we'll see.
Analysts Start Attacking Nokia Again [View article]
I'd be curious to go back in time to see most analysts' sentiment surrounding Apple when the company was going through one of its more difficult periods (1997? 1998? Help me out here, please...). My guess is that there were few believers and, even if I'm wrong in that regard, certainly those who believed the company might not survive.
The key is that few (analysts) have the foresight to see - to really look deep - into the future and extrapolate from the present what a company's future might hold. I'd bet that, of those who can, many are people like those reading SA - and not analysts.
It's not hard to understand how many analysts could potentially be on the verge of missing the turn at NOK - much the same that many missed the turn at AAPL way back then. We'll see....

I'd love to be at that table. Could we invite Van Knapp, Chuck, RA Schwartz, FivePlus, and Norm Tweed? I'll bet that THAT conversation would yield much, much more than, say, Barron's annual Round Table.

@prairiedog55:
Totally, absolutely agree re "the only way to invest savings.....etc."
Keep the income coming in, check to see that your companies are growing their dividends at a reasonable annual rate, and of you do not need the current cash flow, reinvest all dividends.
Do not try to reinvent the wheel with your extremely hard-earned money.

Everyone is new to SA at some point. Just because it's this person's first comment doesn't mean that the validity or value of their comment is diminished in any way. I welcome any and all comments, be they new people or regulars, as long as they add something of value to the conversation.
As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with User 265852's comment.

"but if it is indeed a superior product, these pundits will gradually start using it and singing its praises."
And, in that vein, Zhang, see yesterday's New York Times, in which David Pogue glows about the 920 in a review he wrote. I apologize for not providing the link, but do take a look at the NYT's site.

If the company paying 3% raises its dividend each year AND you reinvest those dividends (what I commonly refer to as "hypercompounding"), you stand a decent chance of assuaging the threat of 3% inflation.
Is Total Return A Useful Metric For Income Investors? [View article]
Robert -
You could write for Barron's. Your analogies and explanations of the how's and why's of dividend investing will easily be more beneficial to investors than an article that touts the (extremely backward-looking) "Best 25 Dividend Funds."
Good article, with all salient points nicely articulated.
Who Is The World's Biggest Dividend Investor? [View article]
Nice article, Robert, approaching a common theme (div investing) from a different angle (who's the biggest - and should we follow exactly what he does or not?)
I agree with all of your responses to your own questions at the end of the article!

Hi Chuck,
With regard to fair value/valuation, would you please explain how the MLP (Income Valuation Line) and FFO features on Fast Graphs can help determine if an MLP is under/overvalued, as well as the proper way to use these added features?

For me, it was the *author* that drew me to the article (not meant to be a slight to DVK's previous comment - you're both invaluable to SA readers).
Glad to see you're writing more, Robert. Excellent article. I wasnt clear on the "bumpiness" thing until I read this piece.

Here's another variation I've seen of the "worry" quote which, imho, nails it:
