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?
My first purchase was after 2007 at $8.80 and I am up on that purchase. I do not see the solid downtrend you are seeing.
BTW, I don't understand why PTGI isn't getting a spike in price with their dividend announcement?
Well it looks to me like they have never not raised their dividend, although before 2010 it was quarterly, not monthly. but it looks to me as if, since 2007, it has been on a slow steady downward trend.
Also looks to me like, Augusts tends to be a decent time to jump in on it. JMO, of course.

I have bought at various times, the lowest around $8.80. I hear you, though. I have sold higher before when I got nervous about what you are seeing too. But I rebought at a nice discount to my sell.
But, thanks for your opinion. Funny--I was wondering if anyone else was noticing that.
And if the economy goes into another slump with Obamacare, some of their investments will not do well, and the dividend could be cut.
PSEC keeps trending down in earnings every year. Although I do like the monthly pay and they do raise the dividend a miniscule amount every month. To me though, it looks like the price drops just as much as the dividend goes up.
Sounds too good to be true. And you know what they way about that.
Eith the $12 goes down or the $8.50 goes down. Or both happens.
Just not sustainable.
You might want to take a look see at PSEC. Nice dividend. Been pretty steady.
A $12 stock paying an $8.50 dividend?? What's wrong with that picture?
Primus Telecommunications Group (NASDAQ:PTGI) declared a special dividend on Wednesday, August 7th, AnalystRatingsNetwork.com reports. Shareholders of record on Tuesday, August 20th will be given a dividend of $8.50 per share on Tuesday, August 27th.
On a related note, analysts at Drexel Hamilton downgraded shares of Primus Telecommunications Group to a “hold” rating in a research note to investors on Tuesday, May 14th.

The stock’s 50-day moving average is currently $12.00. The company has a market cap of $168.1 million and a price-to-earnings ratio of 5.31.
could have made some quick money as for a change, you mentioned it before the big move. It was up $3.25 when I first looked, and it finished up $5 for the day.
(IMO) Track the insiders on this one,front loading and how many they have and who will be the fattest from this large dividend.
Paying over $7 in dividends, but only up $4 right now. Might be worth buying a little.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jul 16, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Aastra Technologies Limited - CA:AAH +0.47% today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
$7.20 per share
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $150.8 million compared to $147.1 million for the same quarter in 2012, an increase of approximately 2.5%. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, revenue dropped approximately 0.2% from the same period last year. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $284.3 million compared to $294.3 million in the same period last year, a decrease of 3.4%. Excluding foreign exchange, revenue decreased by 5.3% over the same period last year.
Gross margin in the second quarter was down slightly to 43.8% of revenue compared to 44.1% of revenue in the same period in 2012 due mainly to a change in product mix this quarter.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $41.8 million or 27.7% of revenue in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $44.5 million or 30.3% of revenue in the second quarter of 2012. SG&A expenses include restructuring expenses of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $0.8 million in the same quarter of 2012. Excluding restructuring expenses, SG&A expenses would have been $40.5 million or 26.9% of revenue during the second quarter of 2013, compared to $43.7 million or 29.7% of revenue in the same quarter of 2012.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses in the second quarter of 2013 were $17.1 million or 11.3% of revenue, compared to $15.1 million or 10.3% of revenue in the same quarter of 2012. The increase is due to $3.3 million of restructuring expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2013 (2012 - $nil). Excluding restructuring expenses, R&D expenses would have decreased to $13.8 million or 9.1% of revenue. Operating expenses were lower in the second quarter as a result of continued cost control and efficiencies.
Foreign exchange losses of $1.1 million were recognized in the second quarter of 2013, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $0.7 million in the same period last year. Foreign exchange losses on the repatriation of cash from foreign subsidiaries this quarter more than offset the positive movements of the US dollar to the Canadian dollar during the second quarter this year. Amortization expense recorded in operating expenses was $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2012.
The Company recorded net finance income of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $1.0 million in the same period in 2012. Income tax expense of $0.4 million or 13.6% of pre-tax profit compared to $0.4 million or 17.7% of pre-tax profit in the second quarter last year.
As a result of the above, profit increased in the second quarter this year to $2.4 million or $0.21 diluted earnings per share compared to $1.7 million or $0.13 diluted earnings per share in the same period in 2012. Profit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.5 million or $0.22 diluted earnings per share compared to $3.3 million or $0.25 diluted earnings per share in the first half of 2012.
Included in the income statement this quarter was $4.7 million of restructuring expenses compared to $0.9 million for the same period last year. Excluding restructuring expenses, profit before income taxes would have increased significantly compared to the same period last year for both the six months and three months ended June 30.
Cash and short-term investments totaled $132.5 million at the end of June 2013 compared to $107.4 million at December 31, 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company generated $13.3 million of cash flow in operations. The Company returned $2.3 million in dividends to shareholders during the second quarter. Accounts receivables increased by $7.3 million from $131.4 million at March 31, 2013 as a result of higher revenue.
The Company is pleased to announce that, after a detailed review of its business, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the payment of a special dividend to its shareholders of $7.20 per share (the "Special Dividend") payable on August 16, 2013 (the "Payment Date") to all shareholders of record on August 6, 2013 (the "Record Date") subject to the "Due Bill" trading requirements mandated by the Toronto Stock Exchange (see below). Contact your financial intermediary should you have any questions regarding how such requirements may affect the trading of the common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"). The net cash that will be used to pay the Special Dividend on the Payment Date is expected to be $84 million.
Because the amount of the Special Dividend announced today represents a distribution of greater than 25% of the market capitalization of the Company as of the close of markets today, the Toronto Stock Exchange has required that the Common Shares shall trade on a "Due Bill" basis from August 1, 2013 until the close of trading on the Payment Date. This means that sellers of Common Shares during this period (i.e. sellers in trades settled after the Record Date and entered into on or before the Payment Date) shall also sell their entitlement to the Special Dividend to the respective purchasers of such Common Shares. The Common Shares will commence trading on an ex-distribution basis (i.e. without an attached "Due Bill" entitlement to the Special Dividend) from the opening of trading on August 19, 2013 (i.e. the next trading day after the Payment Date)
TransDigm Group Inc. Plans Special Dividend of $22.00 (TDG)
TransDigm Group (NYSE:TDG) declared a special dividend on Wednesday, July 3rd, ARN reports. Investors of record on Monday, July 15th will be given a dividend of $22.00 per share on Thursday, July 25th
OH PLEASE TELL US IT CANT BE SO!
WOW ARENT WE POPULAR!
Yeah, I know posters like you. You can't put me on ignore, but now when you respond you'll be proven a liar again.
So to be clear, you don't want to come here to give stock ideas, you want to come back here to be annoying and post in caps and bold.
You are quite a value to this website.
I do notice there are posters from other boards who find you equally obnoxious.
well if having the "last word" is so IMPORTANT TO YOU!!!
oOpS! SO SORRY!!!
OH THIS ONES A PISTOL SHE(FEELS) SHES RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING ! I MEAN EVERYTHING, GOOD LUCK SHE MIGHT WRITE A LETTER TO THE SEC BECAUSE WE ALL SNEEZED TO HARD ! SHES REALLY JUST A BORK! DONT LET HER GO POSTAL! LMAO
WOW! for a moment there I thought you actually would leave without the last word. Just looked at some of your other posts. All the same sort of rant. I believe you forgot to bold or cap something for emphasis (oh wait! No you didn't) It always makes you so much smarter looking when you put something in bold.
So, you want to talk about CTIX? How's it doing since I've said it was going down? Oh, that's right, it has gone down.
So now you are oh for two. At the very least, find some stocks I've lost money in to make fun of.
So, I've posted quite a few good posts on this thread. What have you done besides mention a scam company now under investigation and like all the penny stocks, unfairly targeted.
Lets see if you can find personal growth. I'll bet you can't leave me with the last post. We can bet on that.
I can see why you were attracted to this board. The word insane must be heard by you often.
I made fun of you for buying garbage stocks, not for being a penny pumper. That may have come later.
You made fun of BSET, then when I explained it paid a big cash dividend you deleted the post. Would could blame you, you looked pretty dumb.
Now, since you're so good at investigating, go google viaticals and read about all the people who lost their money in them. I personally know a guy who lost $200k in one.
Here was the only part of your post I agreed with....
What "issue" was I avoiding???
You asked
Don't avoid the issue. The company is a lowlife scam enterprise just as I stated, and the only ones claiming anything about shorting is the CEO who is watching his company go down the sewer (where it belongs by the way).
You can rob a 7-11 and make money as well. Some people have scruples when they invest in companies that do good. You prefer to brag about taking advantage of folks who were screwed over by viaticals.
Oh goody! Lets buy a stock that roots for people to die soon! WEEEEEE!
Good job in investigating by the way. Took you quite a bit of skipping over all my stocks that made me great money last year to find the one that didn't.
How come you stopped making fun of my BSET buy? Perhaps you didn't investigate well enough.
If you would like to match up gains for this year or last, I'd be willing for $10000 to find an attorney to review our taxes. How 'bout it genius?
Just fine...thanks for asking!
Let's see, I mentioned LPHI on this board back in Oct
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=80754342
the pps was around $2.30 (my avg is just slightly higher)
the pps now is $3.09 (that's about a 35% GAIN)
BUT WAIT!!! THERE'S MORE!!!
I've ALSO collected 25¢/share in dividends...
...Hhmm...Gee, I feel JUST TERRIBLE!!! LOL!!!
If I had WANTED to sell, I could've when the pps was in the $4 range...
I could have walked with 10¢ of dividend and about $2/share in pps gain...
IF I HAD WANTED TO.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=85248030
I have always said that I'm here for the SEC decision.
It's a gamble I'm willing to take
in light of the insider buying.
As said in my original post, LPHI won their legal dispute with Texas,
and it turns out there was naked shorting going on...
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=58059668
Oh but I forgot...some people don't BELIEVE in that sort of thing...
it's just "penny stock mumbo jumbo"
Considering I mentioned the SEC in that very 1st post,
How's that LPHI working out for ya? Oh yeah, and an SEC investigation like I predicted? Go figure.
Man! That company has some of the worst fundamentals I've ever seen!

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
