- Self-directed Iras - Why Dividend-paying Whole Life Insurance Offers An Attractive Alternative
By: Scott Storace | - Are self-directed IRAs all that they are built up to be? Let's consider that question. We've all been sold on the idea of IRAs as a wise investment product.

But when looked at closely, you begin to see the limitations of IRAs.

- Picking Stocks For The Next Recession
By: Matt kaldor | - Investing in a recession is not as difficult as most people think.
There really is no such thing as a recession-proof stock, but there are multiple ways to survive a rough patch in the stock market.

- Dividends And Covered Calls - Income Investors And Option Trading
By: Robert Hauver | - By combining the power of trading options and dividend stock investing, income investors can actually double and sometimes even triple their yields on dividend paying stocks.
Selling covered calls is often compared to taking out a limited insurance policy on your stocks, except that, in this case, you get paid to take out this policy.
How? If you own a stock with options available, you can sell an option to call, (buy), your shares away from you at a given price, known ...

- Dividends: The Investor's Golden Nuggets
By: Matt kaldor | - A company's earnings that are distributed to shareholders, per the board of directors discretion, are known as dividends. Dividends are usually quarterly, but can be bi-annual, annual, or paid out as special dividends.

For example, a company's board of directors may declare a 10 cent quarterly dividend to its common shareholders. So for each share owned, 10 cents is paid ...

- Pros And Cons Of Dividends
By: Wesley Watkis | - A dividend is a portion of a company's profit that is paid out to the shareholders, commonly in cash or stock. For investors, dividends present a great way to get periodic payouts on a high-yield investment. However, like all types of investments, there are drawbacks to any plan that routinely pulls out money rather than continues increasing revenue.
Pros of Dividends
Dividends certainly do have a place within the financial world. They provide a way for investors to pla ...

- The Top 5 Dividend Paying Stocks For 2009
By: Robert Hauver | - Dividend income as personal income rose dramatically, by over 200 %, to 6.7%, since 1988. Simultaneously, interest income shrank by over 30%, to only 10.41% of personal income.

- Safe High Dividend Stocks- A Vanishing Breed?
By: Robert Hauver | - How challenging is it for income investors to find safe dividend stocks in 2009?
The Wall St. Journal recently reported that, in 2009, S&P 500 companies' dividend reductions and suspensions are nearly equal to dividend increases, (60 increases vs. 51 reductions/suspensions).
Compare this to 2007, when there were 129 dividend increases vs. only 2 dividend cuts/suspensions, and you can see why income investors in 2009 face big challenges finding safe dividends, let al ...

- Investment Performance Evaluation Re-evaluated: Part One

By: Robert Hauver | - The 1st quarter of 2009 saw dividend decreases outpacing increases, for the first time since 1955. Income investors are finding it increasingly challenging to find safe high dividend yields.
Free cash flow is an important measurement in assessing the safety of a company's dividend, as is the dividend payout ratio, which usually gives investors a good idea of how much of a cash cushion a company has after paying out dividends. With the exception of MLP's, LP's, and REIT's, beware ...

- Dividends And How They Work
By: Nicholas Swezey | - Public corporations have the option of keeping all of their profits each quarter to re-invest in the company, or to distribute some or all of them to their shareholders as a dividend. Growing companies often need as much cash as possible to finance their operations, such as building new manufacturing plants or running marketing campaigns, so they prefer to re-invest their profits. Older, more mature companies that are not growing very much often pay a dividend. Dividends are usually paid out ...

By: Joseph Zambotti | - Ever raise guppies as a kid? I once had an aquarium and bought a couple guppies. The male had bright, pretty colors and the female was plain brown and fat. In a few days, I noticed a bunch of tiny guppies hiding in the plants. Even though the mature fish fed on the newborns, many of them survived and in a few months I had a tank full of guppies. I remember thinking maybe I should take some of them back to the pet store and try to get my money back. So, what does this have to do with in ...

By: Bill Byrnes | - There's an old adage in the brokerage community that you should speculate for growth, not for income. Speculation isn't the right word, but the broker who coined it (pun intended) probably wasn't an English major (most brokers aren't).
The point is that you should take risk with investments which you expect to increase in value, i.e., stocks, but not with investments made to generate current income, i.e., fixed income securities. This is an essential maxim if you are dependent ...

- Too Much Income Can Be Hazardous To Your Financial Health
By: Bill Byrnes | - Bonds have higher yields then stocks. Bond funds have higher yields then stock funds. This means more current income for you. Bonds and bond funds are safer then stocks and stock funds, according to conventional wisdom. Bonds fluctuate less in value. That's good, too. So what's wrong with this picture? The interest paid on bonds doesn't grow (they're called fixed income securities for a reason), nor does their principal value. As a matter of fact, the real value of their principal declin ...

- The Surging Interest In Dividends"'"especially Among Boomers
By: David Van Knapp | - In 1934, Benjamin Graham and David Dodd wrote in their classic Security Analysis, "The prime purpose of a business corporation is to pay dividends to its owners." Many investors agreed. They considered that the other way an investor can make money from owning stock--via increases in its price--was speculation in comparison to a steady flow of dividends.
But by the 1990's, investors' interest in dividends had pretty much dried up. With market prices rising 20% to 30% or more per ye ...

By: David Van Knapp | - During the high-growth 1990's bull market, interest in stock dividends dropped to near zero. But with the collapse of the tech bubble, there has been a growing appreciation for stocks which pay dividends. Nevertheless, dividends are still often undervalued by many stock investors.
Dividends are stocks' secret weapon. Studies show that dividends account for up to half of the total return of the stock market over long terms, a surprising fact considering how little publicity they g ...
