Dividend Machine companies profiled in 2011, in the
aggregate are up, their dividends have increased and that is good. Yet some of those companies have suffered price decreases. Some say this is a buying opportunity. If
indeed this is a buying opportunity, maybe I should add to those 2011 dividend
machine companies that are cheap.
Others say growth is slow; taxes are a roadblock and
dividend machines are going to have a rough road ahead. Indeed, the dividend machine companies
profiled in 2012 are, in the aggregate, not up as much as the 2011 portfolio.
Where can an income investor get “mail box money?” You cannot get it in bonds and it is hard to
digest gold or even to make change. If
you know how to fix toilets, buy up some rental houses. The rest of us need to look at good old
boring dividend machines.
The table below lists those companies profiled in
this blog that have suffered price decreases since profiled but have increased
earnings since profiled. The current
dividend yields are provided. This is a
good place to start looking for bargains.
