Posted on 12/7/14 at 10:19 pm
and if so, which ones?
im looking at dividata and there are some very high yeild dividend stocks that i've never heard of, some of which have been paying out high dividends for decades.
GNI
MSB
LPHI
FGP
CET
LXP
are these good investment tools for either (A) growth as a drip account or (B) income once enough stock has been acquired
TIA

Oh, goodness.
I say this because all of the companies/trusts that you posted are complete shite.
One has decreased by over 100% since 2010, another hasn't raised it's dividend in over 10 years, and MOST of them are traded at rate well under 50k per day! Nothing about these companies are solid. Another is a penny stock, and one of them has negative earnings per share...These are not companies that attract drip investors.
Absurd dividends are not a good indicator. GNI for an example has a yield of 45% because the stock is tanking...and fast! Also, its average volume is 35k per day!!! Don't mess with anything that seldom gets traded!
**Look for solid companies (that you're familiar with!) in the 2-4% range for consistent dividends and a little growth (Proctor and Gamble, Johnson and Johnson, Exxon, 3M, Unilever, the Southern Company, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Philip Morris). It doesn't matter how high the dividend is (see SDRL last month). It's more about how long the company has paid the dividend and consistent annual dividend increases.

You're a physician...pick a few companies to drip or choose a fund or an ETF and pour money into it/them. I like the commission free international ETFs offered through TD Ameritrade.
Full disclosure: For better or worse, within the past six months I have initiated DRIPs with Dow Chemical, General Mills, Intel, and Ford.

Buy big oil right now while it's heavily discounted. Then look at the symbols bayoubengals listed
Posted on 12/8/14 at 11:09 am to TigerTatorTots
Also look at COP; MRO; KMI
Posted on 12/8/14 at 11:12 am to dwr353
MRO is insanely cheap right now.

Bayoubengal, so you ended up buying F?

My larger purchase that month went to ETFs.

Don't worry when I was new to investing in 2011 I foolishly bought 5 shares of AA. Now I have 5.196 shares.
Posted on 12/8/14 at 8:28 pm to bayoubengals88
Bought MRO about 4 years ago and it's almost back to what it was when I bought it. At this point I think I'll be losing on it soon with how oil is doing

I don't see this former Dow component doing much

Good job educating him on those risky pie in the sky yields from crap companies.

I'm taking a bath now on my energy hi-dividend stocks: BBEP, LRE and QRE.

GNI is a trust that is set to expire this next year, It will be worthless. Essentially people are paying $23 for what will amount to roughly $15-16 payout. FYI. It has been a stellar short if played right.

I plan on pouring $1000 into it, hope it goes up 3-4% so I can be up $30 and cash out. The $30 covers the cost of transactions. 1 to buy in 2011, 2014, and the one to sell in 2014.
This might be ridiculous just to recoup $20, but I'm stubborn to principle.

BBEP,
I just bought 400 more shares when it dipped lower than what i got in at originally. Not worried. It's paying very well last i checked and it's not a crap company like some the OP mentioned that are on the fringe.

I do but I buy good investments, not speculative stuff.
Ask everyone who jumped on the SDRL train how that worked out for them
Dividend stocks are a large part of what made Buffet rich

Agreed. And I'm addicted to this shite. People like to spend money. I like to keep mine. I get a shite-eating grin buying a stock. I'll be sitting in my cubicle at work, and after seeing my order fill at the price I want, I'll get all excited in a whisper so no one hears me.
