Dividend “Suspensions” Not Dividend Cuts Coming Fast

April 2, 2020 By Dick Young

The liberal electronic and print media will shortly be howling – with cartoon-size bold headlines – about dividend cuts. We just began the second quarter of the year. Third-quarter earnings reports will, thanks to the lying Chinese, be breathtakingly ugly. And the media will be out in full force glomming on to disruption. Words like recession and depression will fill the media channels. Greedy and grasping stockbrokers will be out, in full-scale hyena mode, yelling, "sell, sell, sell." Serious, long-term, compound interest focused mavens will follow my lead by engaging in a quiet, … [Read more...]

A Bird in the Bush is Worth Two in the Hand

February 21, 2020 By Jeremy Jones, CFA

Yeah, you read that right. In today’s stock market where tall tales can ignite a speculative frenzy in individual names reminiscent of the dotcom bubble, companies that return cash to shareholders have been eschewed. Generating revenue and profits and paying dividends is apparently out of fashion in 2020. The chart below shows the YTD performance of three different groups in the Russell 1000 index (largest 1000 stocks). The first group is the highest 50% of dividend payers not counting companies that don’t pay dividends. The second group is the bottom 50% of dividend payers not counting … [Read more...]

Here’s How I Climbed on the Dividend Bandwagon

December 20, 2019 By Dick Young

There are few histories as crucial to the course of my life as my awakening to the power of compound interest and the importance of dividends. Since my decision to climb on the dividend bandwagon, I have been an evangelist to hundreds of thousands of paid subscribers, and many more investors beyond. My message has been consistent and clear, and I don’t regret focusing on dividends a bit. Here’s how it all started. Back to Monterey and Woodstock I’ve been developing investment strategies for investors like you before The Association kicked off the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival … [Read more...]

The Dividend King of the North

January 2, 2020 By Jeremy Jones, CFA

Which Canadian stocks are dividend kings? If you go by the internet’s definition of a dividend king (50 consecutive years of dividend increases), there aren’t any dividend kings in Canada, but as we wrote here, there can only be one true dividend king. The Dividend King of the United States is Procter & Gamble. Procter & Gamble is the dividend king of the U.S. because it has increased its dividend annually for 65 consecutive years (tied for first with one other company). Who is the Canadian Dividend King? There aren’t any Canadian companies that meet the 50-year dividend king … [Read more...]

You Must Find Investments that Fit Your Needs

December 2, 2019 By Dick Young

In the past, I've explained to investors that they need to find investments that fit their needs. You must measure your needs against what I referred to as a “complete understanding of where we are in terms of both the economic and monetary cycles.” I wrote: I am not looking for the investment markets to do anything for me. I long ago positioned myself to wade through any form of financial market dislocation. I always evaluate risk before potential returns. I invest with a complete understanding of where we are in terms of both the economic and monetary cycles. Where I would invest new money … [Read more...]

Procter & Gamble (PG) Stock: The Only True Dividend King

December 18, 2019 By Jeremy Jones, CFA

Dividend Kings like Procter & Gamble (PG) are companies that have increased their dividend for at least 50 consecutive years. By Andrii Yalanskyi @ Shutterstock.com Kings is an unfortunate label for a group of stocks, though. There can only be one true king, and if we are talking U.S. stocks with long records of annual dividend growth, Procter & Gamble stock (PG) is the only true Dividend King. P&G has increased its dividend for 64 consecutive years. That ties Procter & Gamble stock with American States Water (AWR) for a record number of consecutive annual dividend … [Read more...]
