Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:23:29 GMT

Twelve companies last week raised distributions. While this is positive news in comparison to the avalanche of dividend cuts that were occurring just a few months ago, it is important that investors dig deeper into the numbers before they find out the next big thing.[More...]

11 Dividend Stocks Increasing Dividends And Long-Term Returns

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:27:45 GMT

t is a well-documented fact that a significant portion of the historical equity returns are a result of reinvested dividends. In Triumph of the Optimists: 101 Years of Global Investment Returns (2002), the authors looked at equity returns from capital gains and dividends from 1900 to 2000. They determined that performance in any given year was driven by capital appreciation, but long-term returns were largely the result of reinvested dividends.[More...]

Tickers For The Latest Portfolio Reshaping

Fortunately my portfolio management methods don’t revolve around frequent trading. One of my kids came up to me recently and said, “What did you do today, Dad?” I said, “I made one trade, and I did a bunch of research.” He then asked, “How often do you trade?” I answered, “That was my first trade in a week, and I haven’t traded much in the last two months, but that’s not normal. There is no normal for me. When the market is really volatile, I trade a lot more, selling when stocks are rising, and buying when they are selling off. When the market is relatively placid, I don’t do much.” He looked at me, kind of smiled, and moved on. Information overload from Dad. Most people and investment managers trade too often. They sell their winners too rapidly, and panic too soon on their losers. Now, I’m not advocating “buy and forget,” or Buffett’s statement, “Our favorite holding period is forever.”[More...]

Nine Notable Dividend Increases

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 01:25:00 GMT

Several large companies announced dividend increases over the past week. One of the most notable bullish calls came from the telecom sectors as AT&T (T) showed confidence in its business model by increasing its dividend payment to shareholders for the twenty fifth consecutive years. Despite the tough macroeconomic conditions AT&T (T) is still committed to raising its quarterly dividend. The board announced a 2.5% increase of the quarterly payment to to $0.41/share. The stock currently yields 5.70%. One thing that still concerns me with AT&T however is the high current dividend payout ratio. You could check my analysis of AT&T from this link.

Genuine Skepticism

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 13:53:40 GMT

Good morning. Yesterday's optimism has faded a bit and premarket futures are pointing toward a lower open.

Natrona slag dispute settled with Allegheny Ludlum

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:53:00 GMT

Nov. 24--Natrona residents who find slag dust on their cars may soon see improvement after a pending agreement was filed in federal court Friday about slag dumping at the ATI Allegheny Ludlum steel mill in Natrona.
ATI Allegheny Ludlum Corp. and Harsco Corp. will be required to install a fan-driven fog system, designed to dampen slag dust, and to pave dirt roads at the facility to lower pollution, according to the consent decree.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Allegheny County Health Department filed a civil lawsuit claiming air-pollution violations by the two companies for dumping slag -- waste product from steelmaking -- on the ground near the plant to allow it to cool before dumping it at a permanent site elsewhere.
