Dividend
Machine for week of April 16, 2012 Proctor & Gamble (PG)
Over
the winter, I noticed an unexplained statistic on this blog. Over those four months more folks read the
posts on 2011 dividend machine Proctor & Gamble than any other. The frequency was quite unusual, I think; to
the tune of 6:1. Click here to see the

Could so many people be
bought onto to the idea of dividend machines as seen through Proctor &
Gamble’s multi decade history of increasing dividends?
Could it be that people
searched blogs on PG once emails surfaced in a well-known Hedge Fund
trial? I can tell you they didn’t “click”
on enough ads!
On the serious side,
Proctor & Gamble really is a good dividend machine and here is why.
Dividends paid since 1891
Dividends increased every year for 58 years
Debt to Equity ratio D/E .52
Quarterly dividend to be paid on May 15, 2012 if you
own it by April 25, 2012 is $.562
Price when profiled $67.02
Annual Dividend yield at $67.02 is 3.35%
Most recent 4 quarters earnings $3.04
Most recent 4 quarters dividend $2.10
I
will keep you posted on any extraordinary clicking activity on PG! In the meantime, do consider this company as
a core holding for the income producing portion of your investment portfolio.
Very Truly Yours,
