High Yield, High Risk Dividend Stocks

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:01:14 GMT

It is not unusual after I publish a list of stocks to get a comment or two asking why those stocks and not these stocks. Often the real thrust of the question is why buy those low yield stocks when you can buy these high yield stocks. The answer involves risk and its management.[More...]

Market Commentary (02-02-09)

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 13:28:00 GMT

Bloomberg had this article out about how the U.S. housing market lost $3.3 trillion in 2008 AND that 1 in 6 people with mortgages are underwater, or 17%. It's not getting any better. We have pending home sales coming out today at 10:00AM - consensus 82.3 (range: 78.2 to 84, previous actual: 82.3). I'll be really surprised if pending sales remained "unchanged". Motor vehicle sales are also coming out (total consensus: 7.7M (range:7.3M to 8.1M, previous actual: 7.7M). This is another consensus estimate where it is also "unchanged". Whatever. You see, [More...]

Are Drips Worth It?

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 15:19:00 GMT

This article originally appeared on The DIV-Net September 26, 2008.The abbreviation DRIP stands for dividend reinvestment plans. Drips are a nice low cost way to purchase dividend stocks and build a stock portfolio. These programs allow investors to purchase shares in two ways either through reinvesting dividends or with optional cash payments that can be sent to the companies you want to invest in. One benefit of drips is that they allow dividend reinvestment in partial shares. Another benefit of other drips is that some allow reinvesting your dividends by purchasing shares at a discount to the market price. Two such companies that I am aware of that do this are ACAS and[More...]

Inverted Yield On Cost Curve

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:20:00 GMT

A yield curve is the relationship between yield and maturity. In a "normal" yield curve yields rise as maturity lengthens. When yields drop as the term lengthens, it is referred to as an inverted yield curve. A Yield On Cost (current dividend/basis) curve, like a yield curve, should increase as you move forward in time.Normally, as dividend stocks' share price and dividends rise over time, the yield on their initial cost should also rise. However, when there are declines in share price, dividends or both, the yield on cost will also decline creating an inverted yield on cost.Unfortunately, for my most of my income holdings and my income portfolio as a whole, yield on cost is inverted. Of the 35 securities currently in my income portfolio,[More...]
