What I find most intriguing of all about Ihubbers, are people's unwillingness to ever admit they were wrong. Boggles the mind. It's not even like I know who they are, but it would tarnish their image as a fake person I guess.
If, this year, you can't say buying gold was a mistake, then how can I take anything else you might say with any validity.
FWIW, I've spent countless hours on these boards pointing out scam stocks to witless posters, and the amount of times they eventually apologize or thank me for my efforts are minute.....although some do.
Wrong on that score too LMFAO.
People use the same argument as the gold bugs do about buying physical gold as justification for buying non-existent Bit-Coins as well, so go figure..
That's why tracking their picks by what they actually put in their profile as their picks, would be awesome. No more could they lie about their results. Once they remove the pick, the price would be marked. Talk is cheap. I'd actually like to see a small cap tracker and a large or medium cap tracker. THEN Ihub would actually have value.
I'd be like the penny pick sites that claim "98% of our hot picks have risen", but the time frame can be anywhere from a hour to years later. And selling even an hour later at market is often impossible.
What's needed are educated and less greedy investors. Wonder if Buffett ever used the word "bagger?" Most IHUB flippers would be surprised to learn the world's 2nd wealthiest man only averaged about 20% growth a year.
Oh wait! You're an NBRI guy! That explains much.
LOL! Nothing like being proven dead wrong, then not having the time to explain why doing the right thing was ignorant.
You are aware you can just look at results to see how wrong you are, right?
Not that I have anything against buying commodities, but it was the absolute worst place to be this year. It's alright, you can say it. It'll only hurt for a moment.
BTW, why are you on the "insane dividends" board if you're buying hunks of metal?
Like I said, use your best judgement and I hope everything works out well for you. And yeah, I did mean ignorant.
I don't have the time or inclination to straighten you out.
ignorant?? Seriously?? You believe owning stuff that drops is better than owning things that go up??
So I'm guessing you don't actually trade stocks then?
Nothing new. I've heard that and similar ignorant arguments before. Use your best judgement then, hope it works out for you.
Well no. The market is at all time highs while people with gold and silver have seen it drop in value. The absolute wrong thing to be in this year was precious metals.
You're not even getting any sort of dividend to hold it.
Just think of how much more gold you could buy today vs a year ago, had you been in the market now.
Let it unfold, or, as Radar used to say (on MASH) "wait for it..."
It's over due. I think the dew-dew hits the fan in 2014. Buy physical gold and silver. Better to be a month early than a day late. GL fd
I'm not interested in the most popular stock, however I recommended to admin they find a way to make note of those Ihubbers who have actually performed well based on their stock picks in their profile.
I'd love to actually know who can pick stocks vs who can hype them. Right now, they give a yellow star out to whoever makes the most ridiculous and outrageous promises.
A decade ago some energetic, math loving IHUBer tried tracking the performance of IHUB's most popular stocks... A Dow 30 for IHUB. He created a board for that specific purpose and seemed to have his methodology perfected.
But that board didn't last long. Perhaps a few months as I recall. And no one seemed to miss it when the project was abandoned.
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation (WMC) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter/year-end dividend of $2.35 for each common share payable in a combination of cash and stock.
Uh-Oh... The news is not good, fung derf. The stupidity on wall street and Washington dc takes a back seat to nobody, not even IHUBers LoL!
bar1080 is right about the average rate of returns with one caveat, however. The ones that "stampeded into gold and silver last year" were right if they held and continue to accumulate.
All the same deficit spending and currency debasement reasons that have been the "writing on the wall" (read flashing neon lights LoL) since late '08 are still there now only way worse.
The ones that stampeded out are the ones with no Harley, no bass boat and no physical gold or silver either LoL!
I hate that you use Ihubbers to compare society trends. I hope for the sake of future civilizations that this site isn't an average sampling of the common man.
I doubt 1% of IHUBers have matched the S&P since the dot com days. (not counting some crooks of course). For example, all those I saw piling into 3X Short funds... in 2009. Or those who stampeded into gold or silver last year.
Most online flippers have no idea how poorly they've done. And they lie online, to their spouses, and to themselves.
The goal of most here is to buy a Harley and a bigger bass boat. And they ain't even doing that!
Gotta run... to work.
Yes, that is most definitely true, however, Ihubbers are a special breed. They don't want to know the truth, they want to be lied to.
An index fund is the only fund in existence guaranteed to underperform it's own index. Why would I want that?
Mention S&P index funds during 90s and "the fresh meat" would convulse in laughter. They'd ask why anyone would settle for "average." On IHUB all "players" are above average.
Then the tech bubble broke.
I've noticed that index funds get some respect here lately. I've always used IHUB as a contrarian indicator. The S&P 500 has lagged most things this year. Even my individual stocks have soundly topped the S&P in 2013.
IHUB's a damn good indicator of what not to do.
FWIW, Just about every American Funds fund beat the index over the last 1,3 and 5 year period.
I'm not an index fan.
I mod the BRK board but I don't own the stock. I pretty much plunged into reading about Buffett recently. As a long time investor I know the usual stuff about him of course. But there's a lot I've learned. Plus he's pretty interesting on other levels.
"can you name a better money manager." My index funds have squarely beaten him over the last five years. Perhaps the best manager is no manager. LOL Buying index funds with leverage (which BRK uses) and sticking with that, might produce long-term returns approaching his.
And index funds pay dividends which don't show up on most charts.
And many are working pumps and dumps on people with little money.
I've owned BRK in the past and done well with it. Many years ago I recall, when I asked why they would buy it, they said, "name me a better mutual fund manager."....good point, at that time BRK was around $13k.
Of course the downside is, no dividends paid out ever, and Warren is getting up there in years and I fear, if he gets sick, there will be a bailout.
The incessant flipping can be explained to a degree by the fact that many IHUBers don't have jobs. Yeah, many are retired or temporarily unemployed. But some have simply never worked. Also figures on men >50 who become unemployed and permanently drop out of the labor force are shocking and fairly well-known. Some are house-dads (I know several of them); some have inheritances. That accounts for the inability of many here to spot the most obvious shortcomings in business plans.
Ihubbers are usually around for the short term flip, long term investors are few and far between. It amazes me how many investors dont bother with dividend paying companies, perpetually chasing penny stocks
If you read only one investing piece this year, make it this Yale article that examines the surprising (to me, at least) roots of Buffett's legendary investing success. It's getting a huge amount of attention.

Pretty much. Most of the insane dividends were before the end of last year and the rules changed.
ELKHART, Ind., Nov. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Drew Industries Incorporated (NYSE: DW), a leading supplier of components for recreational vehicles (RV) and manufactured homes, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a special cash dividend of $2.00 per share of common stock.
The dividend is payable on January 6, 2014, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2013.
looks like this board is DEAD, lol
This is a board for dividend stocks, not penny garbage.
NuStar Energy L.P. (NS) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a third quarter 2013 distribution of $1.095 per unit. The third quarter distribution will be paid on November 14, 2013 to holders of record as of November 11, 2013
F.O..FD
I will write that into my diary and contemplate it.
a 30% reduction is sweeter then the .25 cents the company is paying, its all about how positive one is, try it sometime
Well, considering that on 8/6 the stock price fell about 30%, I'd say it kind'a matters.
who gives a flying F as long as they or anyone else pays Quarterly
Apparently took on a bunch of debt on 8/6. And they also just cut their dividend. Just sayin'
Its a 9.00 stock paying .25 cents each quarter where as higher priced stocks pay less with many cutting their dividends altogether, thats what
So, what's so insane about that?
The current annualized dividend paid by KCAP Financial is $1.00/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend has an upcoming ex-date of 10/04/2013.
Isn't it about time for you to brag about LPHI again? To da moon?
PTGI..question on $8.50 special divy please,if anyone knows
I understand this much:
Aug. 20 was the record date. Pay date for divy is Aug 27(today) with an ex-date of Aug. 28(special rules apply to this dividend since it's greater than 25 percent of the share price).
What I don't get is this:
Why is this up,who would be buying TODAY since they wouldn't get the divy anyway? No one would sell today because then we DO NOT GET the divy.But why it's UP TODAY beats me.I had expected this to be down big today(if not by the 8.50 divy amt,at least by 5-6 bucks was my thinking).
Anyone know why psec has jumped from 10.80s to 11.40 ? Divy is solid, I'm in at 11.17 from January. As soon as I got in I was sitting in some heat, but finally green and up very nice with divy payments now. Just wondering if anyone sees this going higher, or getting out now is the best choice.

Hi wz...what are your thoughts on this PTGI large dividend payout?
Does it sound too good to be true?I'm trying to understand why there's not much interest in this at all.Of course the volume has been comparatively great since,but not much price movement at all?
Any thoughts to share?
I'm wondering that too,don't see why the lack of interest in PTGI after their huge divi news.I did buy some today though,but I feel like I'm missing something that the market sees,lol! You know anything about this company,are they winding down or will they still have operations after the payout.
That's fair, because I don't see a share price around $8 back in 2007. I see it down there in late 2008. Are you sure we're talking about the same company?

I have done extensive research on numerous companies that pay dividends, but i know if everyone here at IHUB posts stocks or mutual funds that pays outrageous dividends, then we can all save tons of time and energy doing it ourselves.
I will post links to all that are worthy here in the IBOX.
thank you in advance to all that participate.
please post the highest % yielding dividend stocks that you can find.
Explanation of Dividend Dates
Ex-dividend: To receive a declared dividend the shares must be purchased before the ex-dividend date. If you buy on or after ex-dividend date you are not entitled to receive the current dividend.
Record date: The record date is the date by which an investor must be registered as a shareholder to be entitled to a dividend.
Payment date: The date of which the dividend is paid out.
You can sell the stock on the ex-dividend date of and still get the dividend but you would not make any money. Every time a dividend is paid, the closing price on the day before the ex-dividend is adjusted downward by the dividend amount.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(Stock Dividend section)
Sometimes a company pays a dividend in the form of stock rather than cash. The stock dividend may be additional shares in the company or in a subsidiary being spun off. The procedures for stock dividends may be different from cash dividends. The ex-dividend date is set the first business day after the stock dividend is paid (and is also after the record date).
If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend. Your sale includes an obligation to deliver any shares acquired as a result of the dividend to the buyer of your shares, since the seller will receive an I.O.U. or "due bill" from his or her broker for the additional shares. Thus, it is important to remember that the day you can sell your shares without being obligated to deliver the additional shares is not the first business day after the record date, but usually is the first business day after the stock dividend is paid,

TAX info
Dividends are taxed either as ordinary income or as qualified dividends. A qualified dividend is a dividend on which the issuing company has already paid tax. The dividend is then taxed again on the shareholder's tax return, but at a lower qualified dividend tax rate. The tax rate on qualified dividends is 5% or 15% (depending on the individual's income tax rate). If the individual has a regular income tax rate of 25% or higher, then the qualified dividend tax rate is 15%. If the individual's income tax rate is less than 25%, then qualified dividends are taxed at the 5% rate.
Ordinary and qualified dividends are reported on Form 1099-DIV. All dividends paid will be reported as ordinary dividends on Form 1099-DIV box 1a. Some or all of these ordinary dividends may be qualified dividends. Qualified dividends are reported on Form 1099-DIV box 1b.
Dividends are reported on Form 1040 Schedule B and Form 1040 lines 9a and 9b
