29 Stocks with Sustainable Dividends

This kind of recommendation must be carefully guarded against. No one knows what is sustainable in another down turn, and the probability of that is high.

The S&P 500 has gone beyond just discounting the end of the downturn but is now embedding a 4.0% real GDP growth rate for the coming year. That is pure insanity, if it is not them worry about inflation instead.

Interesting. You certainly point at a workable (in some degree) strategy. Thanks.

Dividend Aristocrats Will Continue to Outperform

The value of the dividend to investors is not the issue; dividends are a fine way to gain income. The question is why would a firm pay a dividend? There is likely to be a capital shortage in the future and dividends will become a luxury without which the business can do. Historically dividends were offered to lure investors to buy a stock and hold it for years and let it compound. Why is that likely to be effective in the future when business activity will be subdued to say the very least. I doubt dividends have any staying power and will become just a memory of a more stable market.

Dividend Aristocrats Survived September

Really a little goodie is it not, the dividend stocks are nice, but that hardly makes up the whole market or the economy for that matter. Having a portfolio that includes dividend paying stocks is a good idea, comes under diversification. Wholly unconnected is the clap traddle about mark to market: either we know the value or we don't, if we do not we say so. It is the truth and avoiding it is dishonest. As for your FDIC approval, it is only to help the banks hold on to deposits. But when a bank weakens the depositor who watch price know when its time to leave. You like hiding your head under bushels when the view is not your liking. That is not reasonable or supportable.
