Thus, It&#8217;s possible that only rogues and discontinued, or dreadful, doubtful, dividend issues may appear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Lately readers and other contributors have questioned the intent, purpose, validity, and usefulness of my daily stock lists. Most, however, praise the effort to sort promising opportunities out of the thousands of dividend offers. After all, yield counts when searching for dividend winners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Furthermore, my dog catching is, by method, a contrarian investing strategy and that can rub some investors the wrong way. It is most useful for new buyers; intended to guide readers to new purchases of dogs on the dips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Most valuable to the writer, however, are those reader comments that truly catch errors<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> in my calculations or changes in direction. Examples like the reader who missed my &#8220;safer&#8221; dividend follow-up articles because they contain dividend payout ratios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">There are also those who catch flagrant fouled stock lists not synchronized with the data charted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Every month some readers discover errant ticker symbols. In January a reader noted SSSS hadn\u2019t paid a Q Dividend since April. And earlier this year, a reader asked how to identify Rogues in the ReFa\/Ro list. The top ten are now so identified.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In June 2022 high yields were alleged, by one reader, to be sure signs of <span id=\"jS$270\" class=\"j3\">&#8220;rogueishness<\/span>.&#8221; Not true, high yields are sure signs of high yield, how long the elevated yield lasts, depends share price and corporate directors. High Beta is the most accurate measure of &#8220;rogueishness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Reader suggestions of <strong>buy and hold<\/strong> dividend stocks are most welcome and sure to be reported on my ReFaRo posts. That\u2019s my ultimate goal, of course, to find 10 or 20 sure-fire long-term dividend payers purchased when their single share prices are lower than the dividend paid from $1K invested. Suggestions, please! We\u2019re trying to predict the future here. Kings and aristocrats might hold up but may be too old and feeble to last.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In February, 2022 one reader suggested an option strategy for monthly-paying dividend stocks:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">&#8220;You should identify where options are available on the Monthly dividend stocks. What I do is find mopay stocks with options, I buy and write covered calls about 6 &#8211; 12 months out. I look for a scenario where I collect the dividend and get my stock bought back at a much lower price than I pay, but pocket a premium that makes up the loss. This gives me a dividend boost, since my cost is lower. It&#8217;s like a guaranteed CD with little risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Another reader suggested I dial-back my blatant opinion that high-yield equates to high-risk:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">&#8220;The article says &#8220;high dividends are a sure sign of high risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">It should be &#8220;high dividends <strong>might be <\/strong>a sign of high risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">&#8220;If a good stock\/ETF\/CEF with a 5% dividend drops simply because the whole market dropped, the dividend could get to 8 or 9%. I think that&#8217;s a great time to buy because the high dividend and low price makes it a low risk investment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">More than one writer has decried my favoritism for low-priced stocks. They especially dislike my &#8220;ideal&#8221; stocks whose dividend returns from a $1k investment equal or exceed share price. A prime example is Sirius XM Holdings Inc (SIRI), the satellite radio and Pandora music catalog owner, priced recently at $4.40 easily passes my test (of dividends from $1k invested exceeding share price) with a forward dividend yield of 2.16%. A little over $1k investment now buys 227 shares. and they&#8217;ll throw the owner a return (from $1k invested) near 5 times the share price. Assuming all things remain equal, SIRI dividends alone will pay back their purchase price in 46.25 years (and that assumes the satellite radio and subscription music service can survive that long)!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In August, 2022 a reader said a $15.40 dividend on a $1K investment was too small. I point out that holders of AAPL stock now garner a little over $5.50 in dividends from $1K invested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In January, 2023 the following exchange occurred:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Sorry, but I&#8217;m confused. Why does it matter if a stock is $1000 per share and pays a $50 dividend, or $20 per share and pays a $1 dividend. Isn&#8217;t that the same 5% yield?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">But if I&#8217;m following your logic, you would like the latter because the total dividend from $1,000 invested is more than the individual share price, but you wouldn&#8217;t like the former because it isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Am I missing something?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">You\u2019re right. Both the $1,000 stock paying a $50 dividend and the $20 stock paying a $1.00 dividend cost $20 per dollar of dividend. Thus, neither is preferable because you&#8217;ve still spent $1000 to get $50 in dividends. The difference is entirely in the share count. One share vs. 50. Which would you prefer to own?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The $1k invested exceeding single share price debate rages, meanwhile dividend investors crave an easy to locate starting point for their initial dividend investment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The dogcatcher ideal balance point is a sweet spot to use for reference. A rule of thumb, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Two months ago a reader made a prediction that PacWest (PACW) would be the next bank to collapse. Your heard it here first!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This month a pause in Fed interest rate hikes left PACW close to surrender but will it hang in when the hikes return? It may be saved by its announced merger with Banc of California (BANC). Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Every month readers grumble that they can\u2019t find my eight portfolios in my service. This year SA has listed all the postings on my<span> <\/span>group by date. So to find the summary and reference guide to each portfolio look at:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">August 22, 2015 for I<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">October 13, 2016 for II<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">September 12, 2017 for III<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">September 13, 2018 for IV (Ivy)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">September 8, 2019 for V (Volio)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">September 12, 2020 for VI (Vista)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">October 10, 2021 for VII (Viital)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">October 8, 2022 for VIII (Viking).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Incidentally, the VIII (Viking) portfolio of Dividend Dogs for each week launched on October 3 2022. The Viking SA Investing Groups \u2018safer\u2019 stock reports have been gathering since Nov. 4, 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Two new observations from April 2023:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<p>\u201cAs much as I like SBLK I wouldn&#8217;t post the past dividend , and project it as a template for it&#8217;s future yield.<\/p>\n<p>As always the first quarter is the lousy quarter for dry bulk earnings.
