Tri City board approves special dividend

Banking & Financial Services
The board of Tri City Bankshares Corp. cited “the possibility of less favorable tax treatment of dividend income in 2011” in approving a special dividend of $1.20.
The special dividend is payable Dec. 10 to shareholders of record on Nov. 30, the Oak Creek-based owner of Tri City National Bank said.
“The board intends to significantly reduce or eliminate dividend payments in 2011,” CEO Ronald Puetz said in a letter to shareholders. “In effect, we are ‘prepaying’ next year’s dividend in consideration of the potential advantage to our shareholders under the current dividend tax structure.”
Tri City posted record earnings in 2009 and through the first nine months of 2010, enabling the company to pay the dividend while maintaining its capital ratio well in excess of regulatory requirements, Puetz said.
The company posted a net income of $3.75 million, or 42 cents per share, compared with a net income of $2.24 million, or 25 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Tri City’s net interest income was $14.1 million in the latest quarter compared with $8.3 million a year ago. The bank took a provision for loan losses of $1.4 million in the third quarter compared with $552,000 in the third quarter of 2009.
Net income for the first nine months of 2010 was $12.63 million, or $1.42 per share, compared with $7.3 million, or 82 cents a year earlier.
Assets increased to $1.08 billion on Sept. 30 from $790.4 million a year earlier. The year-ago figures do not include Tri City’s FDIC-assisted acquisition of Bank of Elmwood in Racine on Oct. 23, 2009

Sept. 22 — Microsoft Corp. increased its quarterly dividend by 3 cents, or 23 percent, to 16 cents a share and got support from its board to vend as much as $6 billion in additional debt.
Tuesday, Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein said “This higher dividend, combined with our ongoing share repurchase program, reflects our commitment to returning capital to our shareholders and our confidence in the long-term growth of the company.”
According to a source, Microsoft is planning to sell debt this year to compensate for dividends and share repurchases because much of its cash is held abroad. The company will try to raise as much as possible without risking its debt rating of AAA, said the person who hid in anonymity as the information is confidential and incomplete.
San Francisco-based UBS AG analyst, Brent Thill said that the dividend increase was a sign Microsoft is confident in its ability to generate cash.
“While not as high as some Street expectations, it was a larger incremental increase than the 2-cent dividend hike Microsoft’s board approved in fiscal year 2009,” Thill said on his note to clients.

GolfRounds.com, Inc. Announces Special Cash Dividend
MARIETTA, Ga., Sep 20, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GolfRounds.com, Inc. /quotes/comstock/11k!teee (TEEE 0.55, +0.02, +3.77%) , announced that its Board of Directors has declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per share of Common Stock issued and outstanding to be paid on October 21, 2010 to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2010 using cash from its general funds. The aggregate dividend to be paid is approximately $1.8 million, which will leave the company with approximately $180,000 cash on hand.
The company expects that for tax purposes this dividend will be treated as a return of capital to shareholders. Distributions that qualify as a return of capital are not "dividends" for tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of some or all of your investment in the stock of the company. A return of capital reduces the basis of your stock. A distribution generally qualifies as a return of capital if the company making the distribution does not have any accumulated or current year earnings and profits. Our company has no such earnings or profits. Once the basis of your stock has been reduced to zero, any further non-dividend distribution is capital gain. The tax characteristics of the divided will be reported to each shareholder on Form 1099 after the end of the 2010 calendar year.
The company does not have an operating business. The company believes its principal assets are its status as a publicly traded, Exchange Act reporting company and its net operating tax losses which can be potentially carried forward. The company is seeking a business combination partner that desires a public vehicle with no liabilities. The Board believes that the company's current cash does not materially enhance its attractiveness as a business combination candidate. The Board believes that shareholders are best served by distribution of the substantial majority of the company's cash to them. Accordingly, the Company has determined to make the special dividend to shareholders while continuing to seek business combinations and/or other strategic alternatives for the Company.

"Given our cash position of more than $70 million as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and our belief that we can continue to generate free cash flow from the business over the long term, we felt it was appropriate to return a portion of this cash to shareholders in the form of a special dividend," said Jim Morgan, president and chief executive officer. "We maintain sufficient cash reserves to fund our current initiatives and working capital needs over the foreseeable future."
The annual cash dividend will be payable on October 14, 2010, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2010.
The company intends to pay its regular annual dividend at the discretion of the Board of Directors depending on available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, any applicable credit agreement restrictions, future prospects for earnings and cash flow, and other relevant factors.

Lower Interest Rates a Boon to High-Yielding Mortgage REITs
(NLY, ANH, CMO, IVR, MFA, FRE, FNM, BRT, PMT, MS, GS)
by Ryan Patel | June 24th
Filed in: Dividend News
With the Fed signaling low inflation and low rates ahead, now may be as good of a time as ever for income oriented investors to take a look at mortgage REITs. Yesterday, the Fed repeated its pledge to keep interest rates low for an “extended period,” and hinted that the European debt crisis might warrant lower rates for a longer duration. According to an article in Bloomberg, former Fed Governor Lyle Gramley notes “The time for a rise in interest rates is even further off than we may have thought,” and he adds “It’s unlikely they will move before the latter half of next year.”
While low interest rates may not seem that great to dividend investors at first blush, they are a boon to those who are invested in or are looking to purchase mortgage REITs. As Investopedia explains, mortgage REITs make and purchase loans secured by real estate. These entities are technically finance companies that use hedging instruments to manage their interest rate exposure. The difference between the short-term rate they are paying and the interest they collect from the mortgages is the interest rate spread. The larger the spread, the more money they tend to make, and lower rates from the Fed are one major way to ensure large spreads, and in turn, large dividends.
As a whole, the Mortgage Investment Stocks Index is slipping by -0.7% today, nearly mirroring the move in the S&P. Over the past month, the Index was higher by 5%, compared to the 1% lift in the broader market during that same time period. The Index is known for consistently producing big dividends, and its components currently pay out an average of 8.3% annually, based on current values and distributions over the last year.
Among the highest yielding mortgage REITs are Annaly Capital Management (NLY) and Anworth Mortgage Asset (ANH). Both offer payouts of greater than 14%. Shares of Annaly have moved up more than 2% over the past week, while much of the Index has remained in negative territory. The shares may have some momentum as the company announced a dividend increase on June 18. Other mortgage REITs include Capstead Mortgage (CMO) and Invesco Mortgage Capital (IVR). Despite cutting its dividend by 5% on June 22, Invesco Mortgage still pays its shareholders nearly 14% in annual dividends. A look at the latest SEC filings shows that 11 13F-filing asset managers counted MFA Financial (MFA) in their top-15 U.S.-listed equity positions at the start of Q2, allowing them to collect 13% in annual dividends.
Elsewhere in the sector, Freddie Mac (FRE) and Fannie Mae (FNM) continue to plunge after the firms both announced, one month ago, that they would be delisted from the NYSE. The stocks are off by -5% today, and have sunk by more than -50% over the past month. Meanwhile, BRT Realty Trust (BRT) and PennyMac Mortgage (PMT) are notable winners in today’s session. PennyMac went public less than a year ago, and was issued a Market-Outperform rating by JMP Securities on June 11.
Investors should note that many mortatge REITs use leverage to amplify profits. The more leverage they use the more money they can earn. Therefore, investors should be aware of the interest rate and funding risks associated with these entities, as they tend to be similar to other financial firms like Morgan Stanley (MS) or Goldman Sachs Group (GS) in that regard.

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.

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
