How about some dividends?

[mrmarket]

For those of you who were fortunate enough to be sitting on some cash in the last week, there are plenty of great companies paying dividends over 8%.

PBI is one of them...do you have some more to share?

IDE--11.36%

HQL--9.92

NYB--8.71

Make sure revenues and earnings are growing before you make a dividend play...sometimes these dividend yields are artificially high because management intends to cut them to conserve cash. As long as revenues and earnings are growing a company will almost never cut its dividend.

Reinvest those divies and you'll someday be rich due to the magic of compounding.

Here's a question : I bought FTR ( Frontier Telecommunication) a while ago after what appeared to be a decent balancesheet and a history of strong dividends. Now, since my purchase at 7.95$ it has lost 13-15% of its value, and with a dividend yield of ~8.5%/pa, the 15% drop in value wipes out whatever we gain from dividends. So how exactly are dividend stocks any less riskier than non-dividend paying plays ?

You have to chase growing revenues and earnings..sometimes stocks show high dividend yields because they've dropped so much in price but if the reason why they dropped is because revenues are declining then the dividend itself becomes risky.

In theory(see below) the fact that the stock pays a dividend will keep the price higher than if there were no dividend as the yeild will make it attractive.

Yes..dividend policy should not matter..but if you are worried about "dead money" it helps to get some sheckles every few months.
