Not everyone prefers high yields, high stakes investing. Some have a disposition that prefers reliable and consistent payouts.
ReplyDeleteMany investors are hungry for income in a low interest rate world. Investors are also looking for relative safety and dividend stocks tend to be more stable than stocks that pay no dividend. This is another reason why dividend stock investing makes sense in these volatile markets. The average yield for a stock in the S&P 500 Index is just over 2%. What do you think?
Because BTI...dont you think they will get huge problems in future? Russia wants a high tax.
ReplyDeleteSure the whole tobacco industry is under pressure and gets more and more fire. But China is the key for growth. Russia is not the world and BTI is one of the most diversifed tobacco companies in the world beside Philip Morris International.
ReplyDeleteYes...for me its the best tobacco stock special because they do a good job in the emerging markets.
ReplyDeleteI am long BTI but because the politics not sure if i should buy a few more.
Thanks, my thoughts are similar. Not enough, I have big positons in tobacco stocks and don't like more single risks on my accounts. I am really happy with my past performance. Most of my tobacco stocks doubled since I bought them.
ReplyDeleteYou have very wealthy useful content that is really exciting to many visitors. I seriously appreciate your work. "You know, I think of the global economic system as an upside down triangle, resting on the shoulders of the United States customer. And if the United states customer cannot have enough non reusable income to keep a quality lifestyle that makes more opportunities generation after generation, that's bad for everybody.
