America’s Finest Companies Keep Raising their Dividends

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:52:00 GMT

Dividends have historically provided 40% of average annual total return performance to investors. Some researchers have found that it was re-invested dividends that contribute to the majority of total long-term returns for investors. Jeremy Siegel is one of those researchers who has found that the compounding effect of re-investing dividends has accounted for 97% of total returns in the US stock market since 1871. Add in dividend growth as an additional compounding component, and investors could achieve very decent total returns over time. While most investors are running away scared from dividend[More...]

Virtual Funds: Technology Fund's Ranking/Performance In Q3 '08 And Overall

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:53:00 GMT

Technology stocks have held relatively well, especially the blue chip companies. I think this sector's performance will be scattered all over the board, some companies will do well while others will suffer for a prolonged period of time. So, it's a good sector to sift through, but you have to carefully assess how the overall economic conditions may influence your picks' earnings power. Orange line in the chart below shows how my Technology Fund has performed relative to the m100 (a collective Marketocracy fund that uses picks from the top 100 members), S&P 500, Dow Jones Index, and Nasdaq.

A List of Best Performing Stocks Year to Date

Tue, 27 May 2008 01:16:00 GMT

Since we have a break in the action here, instead of doing our normal best performing stocks of the week (not many made the list this week due to a poor market), this is a good time to look at what is performing best so far this year. Further, due the composition of the list and with many of these stocks due for a correction it's probably worthwhile to take a look now, as things might change relatively soon. We looked at a similar list in early November (Nov 4: How to Make 75% in 3 Months) when the list was dominated by large cap Chinese stocks, a few big cap tech stocks, Indian stocks, and fertilizer. Except for fertilizer most of those groups stunk for the better part of the following 5 months, and hence "returned to the mean". However, the list did turn out a few gems we jumped on, so looking at such lists helps us to identify what has been working and what other[More...]

Did Diebold’s Board of Directors Act Wisely in Rejecting UTC Buyout Bid?

DBD: Diebold Takeout Offer Making Me Look Stupid

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:30:31 GMT

I should probably learn to take the money and run more quickly. Back in December I wrote about Diebold (DBD) at about $33 per share and said investors should probably look elsewhere due to earnings quality concerns and what I considered to be unsustainable cash flows. That looked good until this morning, when the takeover offer from United Technologies (UTX) sent the shares up from $25 to $39.In the interest of full disclosure, this is the third time in as many months that a takeover bid has made one of my bearish calls look stupid (at least temporarily.)...[More...]

DBD: Diebold and Diebeautiful? I Don’t Quite Think So

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 14:46:23 GMT

The following is a reprint of my December 13, 2007 RealMoney column.Diebold (DBD), the maker of ATM machines and much-criticized automated voting machines, never seems far from controversy. It also has developed a habit over the last ten years or so of its share price swinging wildly back and forth between the $30’s and $50’s every couple of years. With the pendulum now back at the low end, traders may be tempted to hop on for the ride. Investors, however, should probably look elsewhere.The Latest ControversyDiebold topped out at $54.50 in late July, when it announced it would miss the deadline for filing its 10Q for the June quarter “while it seeks guidance from the Office of the Chief Accountant (the “OCA”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission with regard to its revenue recognition policy.”After receiving said g[More...]
