Dividend Yield Essentials
Do you know how much we spend on Christmas lights and decorations? $6 billion a year. By comparison, the Pentagon spends about $12 billion for an aircraft Carrier like the USS Ronald Reagan. The numbers are staggering, so huge they’re hard to make sense of. I like simpler numbers where the arithmetic is easy, and […]
High Dividend Stocks To Serve With Turkey
Last year at Thanksgiving, one of my best friends came over and insisted on making the stuffing for our turkey. He told me it was his grandmother’s recipe. Nothing written down, all in his head. I didn’t think there was much culinary knowledge locked away in my friend’s otherwise remarkable brain. My suspicions were confirmed […]
What Is A Dividend Disaster?
I never thought my friend Large Lou Sapino would be a credible source of good dividend stocks investing wisdom. We get together a few times a year when he drags me into Danny’s on Orange Avenue in Coronado, California. I’ll nurse a beer and he’ll be drinking vodka. Actually, he’s lecturing me on vodka. It’s […]
High Yield Dividend Stocks For Safety
On a mild Saturday night a few weeks back, I went with a good friend to Donovan’s on Prospect Street in LaJolla.

Last month, on a rare rainy morning in Southern California, I headed up I5 toward LA. The traffic clogged at Del Mar. Looking off through the gray dawn at the racetrack I thought about its honored guest, 2015 Triple Crown Winner American Pharoah. American Pharoah is the first horse to win the Triple Crown since […]
The Highest Dividend Yield Stocks At The Mall
When I went to the mall the other day and pulled into my usual parking spot in the garage next to Bloomingdale’s, it suddenly dawned on me… This wasn’t one of those driving on autopilot experiences. I actually had to think about where I was going. And going to the mall just doesn’t seem to […]
Dividend Investing Is Like NFL Football
I don’t know if it hits you. But this time of the year, there’s something akin to a spiritual reawakening. Football’s back. Let’s just get the hook for Deflategate. Enough already. And please, no dividend deflation. It’s tough enough making money on the market without dividend cuts. Before 4 o’clock on the afternoon on September […]
The Boring Stock Dividend That Can Light Up Your Future
I got in the elevator in my building the other morning at six o’clock. A friend of mine was in there. He’s 80 years old, and was heading out for his morning cup of coffee. He’s a Starbucks $SBUX fan, and a longtime Starbucks investor who has seen his stock split twice. We all get […]
