A Look At My Latest Trades

Blog, Site Introduction

After selling RIM (thank God!), I’ve taken a few weeks to look at my portfolio. I was pretty happy with the companies I bought since the beginning of this year (HSE, CVX, JNJ, BNS, and a covered call etf; ZWB). While the market is moving sideways, I’ve built a solid core of great dividend paying stocks. In fact, the average dividend yield of these stocks on the market is 4.91% (thx to ZWB at 10%...).   More trades during the summer I’ve debated this for a long time before making …

In fact, only 37% of its revenue comes from the …

Got Coke?

Stock Analysis

  After looking at 2 smokers and 2 phone companies, I’ll look at the July stock analysis for the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola! With a stalled economy and the concerns around the US debt debate, I think you are better off trading in your computer for a bowl of chips with a Coke by the pool and enjoy your summer. I bet Obama won’t have much time to do it this year!   So here we go with the Coca-Cola (KO) stock analysis: Coca-Cola (KO) Stock Description: Well, I guess you …

Chasing Highest Yield Dividend Stocks Is Chasing Your Own Loss

Stock Analysis

With a shaky stock market and low interest bonds, I can see people going crazy for income producing assets. Some of them are the Highest Yield Dividend Stocks. However, chasing the highest yield dividend stock is not necessarily a good idea.   After reviewing a portfolio paying an 8% dividend yield, I wanted to share with you another example where high dividend yield doesn’t equal high investment returns after all. But before this, I invite you to see the top dividend payers in the US …
