So Paulson wants to cuts dividends and raise capital. I guess that means they should issue more stocks as well. Maybe he should go back to the private sector where he did so well.

Danny,
How is PEG computed as it relates to dividends? I understand it is PE divided by growth, but what growth? EPS, Sales,?

I don't see any theoretical basis for "Buying Dividends". As the article itself says ... "Generally, stocks are supposed to drop by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date, similar to mutual funds, which always drop by the dividend amount. But in strong markets, the price of the stock can hold its value."
"Buying Dividends" seems to me to be just very short term speculation on price momentum. What's the difference between holding a stock for a window of a week or so around the ex-dividend date and owning the same stock for a week or so entirely before or after the ex-dividend date? Not much that I can see.

This appears to be the reverse of leverage. You spend a lot of money (stock price), to gain a little (dividend). High risk with little proportional reward. If you plan on owning the stock, then this might help in timing, but there are lots of other factors to consider.

Bob as far as I know PEG is not used for computing dividends growth. If that is what you meant? I do pay attention to the dividend growth rate in relation to the EPS growth rate. I like to see div growth in the same neighborhood as earnings growth. |

Jim I wouldn;'t have the time to try this strategy, especially if one is selling after qualifying for the dividend. With transactional costs, extra tracking of buys and sells come tax time would be too laborious. I do however keep a note on the ex div date for stocks I own and if they are in a buy zone I will add to them before that date.
On another note did something happen to the formatting on SC? my reply box takes up the whole page now so I have to scroll down to read what I am replying to. Plus I am showing 10 attachment boxes for files, what blew up??? |

As more and more offer this service, I wonder how much it will hurt Yahoo and other sites. My local newspaper offers most of this data for free now. It is becoming harder and harder to justify paying for the data.

As the market heads south, dividend stocks are becoming more attractive. Especially nice is that as the price drops the yields increase. If I didn't have DRIPs, I am not sure my nerves would let me go without selling everything.

Even in todays tanking market WFC surprised on the announcements and upped the dividend 10%. A strong message as shown by the 25% pop in price today. |

Here is a PDF shared on the Growth forum on Compuserve. Pages 11-13 mirror a feeling I have about buybacks. The whole article is very good for overall perspective. |
