ageecee -- are looking for a particular range of dividend? For isntance, GM pays an extremely high dividend percentage-wise right now, but it is due to their stock being in the crapper.
Are you looking for a particular industry to invest in with dividend yield?

Looking for a good dividend stock with the stock going up and splitting every 3-5 years. Maybe a Dow 30 stock or one that has a good long term record.
Have a buddy who will retire with Exxon stock. Hes built up his shares with them and loves the stock.
I kind of want to take the same approach as him by buying a nice stock with good dividends and one that splits every 3-5 years.
No particular industry im looking at dawgball.

DCBK is a good one
followed this stock for 10 years
they pay out a divedend that is avg but are looking to be splitting in this year and are at a high right now. Also they are a small bank in the high desert that is booming right now in terms of businesses and in mortgages on new homes. Constuction loans up to. Just a great place for the dominant bank of the area to be in.

dooley -- ETFs are something that I have been studying the past 6 months or so, but I have not started investing in them. I am planning on moving my son's stuff over there instead of where I have it parked currently (mutual funds).
I am assuming that the ETFs do not actually get the dividend, but I am looking for a correction if I am wrong. Thanks.

I receive dividends off all my ETFs. I hold DVY in both my brokerage and Roth IRA. The brokerage account reinvests the dividend and the Roth keeps it as cash.
If anyone wants to take a look at DVY here is a link

I like ETFs over index funds almost 100% of the time because they offer a lower expense ratio for the most part. And if you're just buying an index fund then an ETF is 100% identical, so the expense ratio is what will take away from the return. Only disadvantage to ETFs is paying broker fees, but it you're not an active trader I believe the lower expense ratios in the long run will have way greater benefits to your returns.

ageecee -- just happened upon an article about Dividend Aristocrats today in this week's Barron's. I would post a link, but they do not include a web subscription with their print subscription (ridiculous, huh?)
Basically, a Dividend Aristocrat is a company the S&P says have boosted their dividends for at least 25 consecutive years. The five that I will list below are all 4 or 5 star ratings by S&P and which the S&P thinks "are a cinch" to enhance their payouts in the first half of this year. A 4 or 5 star rating by them means that the S&SP "expects them to generate superior returns over the next 12 months."
5 stars:
CenturyTel (CTL)
W.W. Grainger (GWW)
4 stars:
C.R. Baird (BCR)
Pfizer (PFE)
Target (TGT)
These companies do not pay a high dividend, but the article was placing more emphasis on consistent growth of the dividend paid.
Just passing along the info.
It also states that there are currently 59 "Aristocrats) and the are listed at www.standardandpoors.com, but I was unable to navigate their site effectively.

dawgball, and anyone else interested in seeing that list of 59 stocks...
just click on the link provided by dawgball and enter "Aristocrats" in the search box in the upper right hand corner.
when that page comes up, click on #3 at the bottom and the list will open in an excel format. Hope that helps...

Not that anyone cares, I'm sure, but I've owned KO,JNJ,KMB, MCD and WAG for years in my retirement accounts.
I also much prefer ETFs to mutual funds, but enless you have a significant amount of money to invest at one time, the brokerage fees associated with ETFs vs a vangard or other low cost mutual fund make the mutual fund a better place to do your regular investing.

redsfann also own mcd has performed well, going to also buy tim hortons ipo when it comes out.
thanks
selkirk
thanks

yeah, Selkirk, MCD hasn't done too bad since I've owned it, and I added a bunch in Mid '04 when the market was punishing the stock due to management trying to change the menu too much.
Any links you can post on that IPO you mention here?
Another high paying dividend stock that I forgot about yesterday is NZT.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=nzt
Very healthy 6.6% yield. Don't expect to see much growth in the stocks price, but with that kind of dividend...
Don't own any of this one yet, but I have a 5 year CD coming due this summer and I haven't decided what to do with the money...

Excerpt I found
6. Are you overpaying for "active" management?
If you invest in an index mutual fund--one that tracks a given benchmark--you should look for the fund that's the cheapest of the cheap. After all, you're essentially buying a commodity, and your fund will invariably lag its benchmark by the amount of its expenses. On the other hand, you're probably willing to tolerate higher costs from an actively managed fund, because the active manager has a genuine shot at beating his or her benchmark.
Before you pay higher fees for active management, however, make sure your fund is truly active and that you're getting some bang for your buck. If a fund has a very high R-squared--or correlation--with a given market benchmark but its risk/reward profile hasn't been appreciably better, ask yourself whether you're not better off in an inexpensive index fund. Morningstar's large-blend category is replete with index-hugging funds that simply haven't earned their keep relative to the S&P 500, but you'll also find expensive index-huggers lurking elsewhere, including the small-blend and foreign large-blend categories.

Gotta look at the Canadian Oil Trusts for dividens and growth.
85% tax free too
Primewest, Viking, Paramount, several others that are worthwhile.
Some are oil only, some with natural gas.
Make sure and check out the hedge situation they are in, so you can tell if price increases will benefit the bottom line and to what extent
