Summary

  • Prior to April 30, 2025, my Readers mentioned 36 equities in their comments about my articles. Some bad-news investments (ROgues) mixed with (mostly) FAvorites. Thus, readers spoke-up about their ReFa/Ro.
  • Ten analyst-target-estimated TOP-NET-GAIN ReFa/Ro: OBDC, CVX, NEE, PFE, LYB, ORC, KSS, BBY, ET, and ZIM averaged 40.26% net gains from reader data collected 5/6/25.
  • Ten analyst target-augured March/April TOP-PRICE-UPSIDE reader faves & rogues (ReFa/Ro) were: KIM, TTE, USB, CVX, PFE, LYB, NEE, KSS, BBY, & ET, boasting a 24.58% average target price upside estimate.
  • By YIELD, the following ReFa/Ro made the top ten: ET; LYB; XYLG; QYLG; OBDC; QYLD; PDI; ORC; OXLC; ZIM. They averaged 20.49% annual yield. Only two stocks made all three.
  • $5k invested in the lowest-priced five of these top-yield ReFa/Ro dividend dogs showed 46.87% more net-gain than from $5k invested in all ten. Big (higher-priced) ReFa/Ro dogs fell behind this pack by over  four and two-thirds lengths in March/April. Of 36 mentioned, 12 qualified as “safe”, as their cash flow yield exceeded dividend yields. And 7 of the safe” were also “IDEAL” with dividends (from $1k invested) exceeding their single share prices.
