Not asking for much in 2012, help wanted

[mimo_100]

mimo,
PEP doesn't have the required 3.5% div. minimum.

Can I change it to NCV?

Mr. Market picks BPT and MLU

BPT- Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust , operated by Standard Oil and BP, branches of British Petroleum, distributes royalties to shareholders from 16% of the first 90,000 barrels of daily oil production at Prudhoe Bay, North Slope, Alaska. These payments can be greatly effected by breakdowns in pipelines or processing equipment.

Market cap 2.6 billion

Current div. is 1.956 qtr. 6.56%. Payments have varied from low of .99 4/9/09 to high of 3.61 1/13/10


MLU- MetLife Inc. Com. Equity Unit is a provider of insurance, annuities, employee benefits to a worldwide customer base in the U.S., Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Latin America.

Div. has been .938 qtr. 5.61% since inception 5.27/11

OK Mr. Market, I give up. What is the difference between MetLife Inc. and MetLife Inc. Com. Equity Unit ?

Are you using the price on 1/3 or 1/9?

My historical prices aren't working today but if you entered on the 6th you get the opening price on the 9th.

I've always been curious as to why you picked 11% as opposed to, say, 10 or 12?

Louetta,
Couldn't go with 15% cause the Huge one's got that covered. Anything more would be too optimistic since the divs. were already substantial. 10% seemed old hat so 11% was just right. It will be interesting to see how many can do it. If another lousy year maybe none. A blockbuster market and watch out!

[Louetta]

Here's the final list with official entry prices. Later I'll add the 11% to each one so you can see what is needed to qualify for the winning prizes. Those paying over 10% div. have a real advantage if they can get the additional 11% in price appreciation , unless they drop the div. during the year.

Here are the dividend stocks with their official entry price and dividend % adjusted to price.

Wooish: NYB 13.30, 7.52%, VZ 38.54, 5.19%
Hags: APL 38.91, 5.55%, ETR 71.92, 4.62%
Louetta: T 30.46, 5.78%, UVV 46.68, 4.20%
em26jamie: AGNC 28.33, 19.77%, WPZ 62.77, 4.76%

billy: SO 45.87, 4.12%, IDE 15.73, 11.44%
ski : MO 28.65, 5.72%, DUK 22.11, 4.52%
Mr.Market: BPT 115.95, 9.11%, MLU 63.32, 5.92%

IIC: ED 62.10, 3.86%, HE 26.79, 4.63%
Phoenix: TNH 170.45, 9.29%, SXL 38.46, 4.29%
River : FSC 9.73, 13.05%, KMP 84.48, 5.49%

Peanuts: MBT 15.06, 6.79%, BWP 28.77, 7.33%
Trader: SCCO 31.57, 8.87%, TNK 3.73, 16.09%
Deaddog: NLY 16.10, 14.16%, AIXG 13.81, 6.10%
Jiesen: HHS 9.11, 3.51%, AI 20.71, 16.90%

I'm feeling generous today so there will be more than a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. A gold star with an * will be given to the person picking the lowest yielding stock that appreciates the most in price and a gold star with 2 ** will go out to the guru picking the highest div. stock gaining the most in price over the course of the year.

My prediction: The aggregate gains by % of these stocks will be greater than the % gain of the DJIA in 2012.

SKI Thanx

interesting link Phoenix although Exel provides more options to code what you would like to see and manipulate. What are you running that you dont have Excel. Google and Adobe also provide the same type of spreadsheet for free.

Ski thanx I will evaluste those options.

[skiracer]

Ski I dont have Excel , but I would merely put the list up on www.tickerspy.com and this would give me the performance ......much easier!

Ski

it would be easy for you to set up the list in Excel Phoenix so that I tracks the list on a daily basis and makes the changes automatically for you. you can then watch the progress or negative progress of every stock.
