I don't care how anyone invests, just pointing some things out for people to think about.
Kudos to your friend, but that isn't trackable.
"I consider high yield to be higher risk than DGI."
Most people think of common stocks when they think of high yield. High yield comes in as many flavors as common stock.
My preferreds held up better than the market, leaving more money for buys while the market is down. TECTP,
the one I decided to hold, is down .11 since the first of the year, having paid out .69 in that time. The parent
company will pay .92 a share on the 1,725,000 preferred shares this year. Having earned $1.17 on 7,062,000 common
shares in the first six month of their year. Less than $800,000 paid on the preferred in six months on over
$8,000,0000 in earnings, doesn't seem to be a problem.
I don't see it as risky high yield, but I don't think most investors would have found it, as they are busy sifting through the same bucket of sand over and over.
"The only metrics that matter are long term." I have shown that in public.
"Most DGI investors, do not follow the practice strictly."
That would be who I am posting to. It doesn't have to be one or the other, or everything has to pay me.
I have lots of dividend stocks: AAPL ABBV AMGN APD BLK BMO CM CNXC CVS DHIL DLR HD IIPR INTU
IRM LHX LOW LRCX LSI MPW MSFT NSA PEP SNX STE STOR SWK SYK TMO TSCO VRTS
I have yet to SEE anyone that goes the dividend growth route, that can keep up with the market, and that
includes me. I think I have done better than the market, because I will look at, and for, things others won't.
For those with interest. I got tired of sending out PMs. Longer term short term day trades. Message Board - Msg: 33995688 (siliconinvestor.com) |
