This is a great article all dividend investors should read. You should also inspect the dividend payout ratio of most companies, and anything in excess of 80% signals trouble ahead & potential dividend cuts.

Also have a read at 5 tricks to successful dividend investing at http://www.high-yield-dividend-stocks.com/successful-dividend-investing.html

These are not really tricks but essential must-dos for any income investor. For example, a sample trick from the article that I like the most is:

Don’t Chase High Yield Dividend Stocks without Understanding the Business

Value investor Warren Buffet never buys a stock; he buys companies & businesses that he understands and thinks will be valuable businesses over the long term.

If we find dividends paying stocks that come right back to market value after the ex-date (WIN) why wouldn’t you just bounce from stock to stock using the multiple dividends each month, lets say 3, and starting with $10k. The dividends more then pay for the transaction costs and with some of the higher yielding companies this could really add up.

I believe I am a member of Oxford Club. If so, why continue to send me wasteful teasers?

If I’m not a member, please advise.

Like the article says: beware of very high dividend yields. There are plenty of stocks available that still pay a respectable dividend.

Tom,

That really depends on what your personal situation and what you’re looking to get out of your investing experience. We suggest that you consult a financial advisor about which is best for you.

Good investing,

Investment U

Mr. Basenese:

In your January 22 Investment U article you refer to a stock you recommended in the latest issue of the Oxford Club Communique. The January, 2010 issue is the latest on the web page. In that communique you dealt with small-cap stocks, and I cannot find reference to the undervalued company with history of increasing dividends. Are you possibly referring to a recommendation in the forthcoming February communique which has not yet made it to the web page?

Thank you.

Louis,

A quick question about dividend stocks, should you re-invest the dividends or allow dividend to increase cash balance?

Thanks.
