Five Wonderful Businesses Added (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hi everyone!The Universe is growing. We are going from 30 to 35, so we added five new names. Thirty was never a magic number. As I analyze the current Universe, I am also always looking for good companies to add. Several of these names kept appearing in my feeds, such as Carlisle and Lowe’s. Companies too good to keep ignoring and ones I would like to own when the price is right. Some of these companies fill places we have no representation in, and others are too good to keep out. So we are fixi

With the 10-year Treasury closing at about 5.00% that day, and 4.94% the next. We have to ask: how much are we being paid to take risk now? The risk-free rate pays us nearly what a lot of “high-yield” stocks pay. And we don’t need to look at payout ratios, rent coverage, or debt levels to buy the Treasury. This all makes dividend investing more challenging. Whe
Don’t Chase High Yields, Unless They Pass This Test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A 6.8% yield gets called a trap, and a 1.2% yield gets called quality, and most of the time nobody checks either one.“Don’t chase yield” is the first thing anybody says to a new dividend investor. As advice, it does not survive contact with our own table.The highest yielder in our Universe pays 6.8% and carries our top safety score, VERY SAFE.
