Am I missing something or are both of those yields pretty low? If we're talking strictly apples to apples on yield here.
Well, if you're looking at current dividends, perhaps GAIN might be more your speed.
I'm thinking reinvested dividend growth with maybe 7-10 year reinvestment period followed by, in the case of the two I mentioned, dividend growth that should be at least a few hundred basis points above inflation.
bro how much blow do you do before posting?
don't have time to write a whole thing, but go for div growth instead of div yield, reaching for yield is a bad call

How come growth vs yield? The whole past performance thing?
historically, stocks with above market dividend growth are less likely to be value traps, whereas the high yield ones have you owning a lot of regulated utilities and telecom. while the income might be nice, the growth won't be and the income won't rise as much.
as an example, I like MSFT as a dividend play versus NGG or PPL
goldie, I took a look at your reply last night but for some reason I can't read it now. I think you asked another question about why div growth versus div yield. just do some research, there have been plenty of CFA/financial analyst journal papers on this that are in the public domain. the short answer is this: companies with above market dividend growth as a group tend to outperform companies with the highest yields.
there's nothing inherently wrong with buying stocks with a 4-6% yield, just know that there are tradeoffs, and historically those tradeoffs entail poorer long term performance. and this is not just a backtesting hypothetical, I've seen it with my personal portfolio, client portfolios, and other investment managers.
you should look up r/wallstreetbets instead of dividend stock
Cool, followed. Any other good subs? My reddit feed is the strangest mix of mushrooms, chicks in rompers, and fucked up houses...
Curious about what routes you went if you're willing to share
I own ATT - I may not soon, need need to parse through their earnings a bit more.
They are a prime example of what thebrofessor is talking about in trade-offs on yield. Great dividend, but borrowed heavily to fund their massive acquisition.. now forcing them to look at deleveraging a huge debt pile, re-focusing their core businesses (which aren't, well, wonderful) and trying to grow, maintain CAPEX, etc. while keeping their dividend up.
Largely speaking though - they can probably keep the dividend going for a good while, but don't expect much of a return outside of that yield + or - a little bit over time if they can find some growth avenues.
Why not a dividend ETF and fuggedaboutit.
hard to argue against DGRO
Hey man could you explain this to me a bit please? The div growth vs. div yield thing is beginning to make sense. I'm reading "Looking for a Black Cat in a Dark Room" by Lenny Kisin and he's big on dividend reinvestment and shows how it can make a many-fold difference between not reinvesting given the same stock. He argues the theories that say stock price and dividend yield aren't correlated are wrong. Sounds logical what he says.
But I look at this ETF you mentioned - DGRO. Their div yield is 1.7%. So that's pretty low. But I see it's appreciated a bunch. since 2014 when it was started, I guess? Are you concerned investing in such a young ETF? So are you factoring in growth and dividend reinvestment somehow? If I never plan to sell anything and reinvest all dividends, how would I calculate my rate of return on this?
you're overcomplicating things. the short answer is this: studies show that companies with above average dividend growth have had higher total return than companies with high dividend yields, even after accounting for dividend reinvestment.
I focus on total return, not just dividends, and if I had to guess the reason, it's because companies with growing dividends are actually growing their earnings and cash flow in a meaningful way so that they can afford to do this (companies are not keen on reducing dividends, so any increases are made with careful thought).
let's use a real life example: out of the below 10 companies, pick the 5 you think have the best growth prospects over the next 10y
MSFT D CSCO SO V KHC JNJ PM MDT BTI
it's no coincidence that the higher yielding names are in slow growth industries. I don't give a fuck if I make 7% on BTI if it doesn't grow. I'd rather have CSCO pay me 3% plus go up 20% a year, total return is what matters. yes, I know BTI is up 21% YTD, but it's also gone from $56 to $38 over that time period too. CSCO has more than doubled with a rising income stream. while the past isn't always prologue, I'll stick with total return thankyouverymuch.
the only times I've seen dividend yield favored is when someone's retired and in distribution mode, the higher yielding names (while more interest rate sensitive) tend to have less downside so they are better if you're actively taking out money.
finally, on DGRO, that was just an example of a turnkey solution for you, the research is much older than 5y.
edit button isn't working. I just wanted to add that this isn't some sort of intellectual exercise. div growth makes up about 80% of the holdings in the strategy I run for clients, and my/my clients results are consistent with the academic literature.
Yeah maybe. I like ETFs a lot. Got any good tickers?
quitters always wquit
