ilovesoya : How much precentage is considered a good dividend yield?
102362254 : Question 1 - How do changes in interest rates affect dividend stocks, and should I adjust my portfolio accordingly?
Question 2 - What are some resources or tools I can use to research and analyze dividend stocks effectively?
mr_cashcow : Hello Sarge, my question is how do we determine if the dividend stock is a good one? What are some of the key factors/metrics should we look out for?
Piggy Bank Trader ilovesoya : Generally 3-5% is considered safe.
Piggy Bank Trader mr_cashcow : - Look for their % of payout v earnings
- Length of time they’ve paid a dividend
- If they’ve ever cut or suspended dividend payments
- Strength of the company: debt/sales/ cash on hand
- See their yearly dividend % increase and make sure the dividend raise at least matches inflation.
Piggy Bank Trader 102362254 : Depends on the dividend stocks you own. Example - Real Estate stocks/Etfs will generally rise when interest drops.
BelleWeather : Is dividend investing appropriate before retirement? How does it compare to writing covered calls for supplemental income while still working, for example? (I think of them as ballast and incidental, now.)
Off topic: is there any reason to not write a put when wishing to acquire shares, rather than just purchase outright? Dividend stock, I guess.
Thank you!
