Nordic American Tanker Shipping Ltd. ("NAT" or "the Company") today announced that the dividend for 1Q10 was $0.60 per share compared with $0.25 per share for 4Q09. Two newbuildings are expected to join the fleet in 2010 and two newbuildings in 2011, bringing the trading fleet of NAT to minimum 20 ships during 2011. No follow-on offering is contemplated to fund these newbuildings.
The Company will pay the dividend on or about June 1, 2010, to shareholders of record as of May 19, 2010. Following this dividend payment, the Company will have paid a dividend for 51 consecutive quarters since the autumn of 1997 when the first three vessels in the Company's fleet were delivered. Including the dividend for 1Q10 the total dividends paid by the Company amount to $40.74 per share. The increased dividend for 1Q10 is a result of a strengthening of the spot tanker market for suezmax tankers during the first quarter of 2010.

Canfor Pulp Income Fund Announces Strong First Quarter 2010 Results and Increase in Monthly Distribution
Mon Apr 26, 7:45 PM
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 26, 2010) - Canfor Pulp Income Fund (the Fund) (TSX: CFX-UN.TO) announced today its first quarter 2010 results as well as the results of Canfor Pulp Limited Partnership (the Partnership) in which the Fund has a 49.8% ownership.
The Partnership reported sales of $239.5 million and net income of $32.5 million, or $0.46 per unit, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Partnership generated EBITDA of $44.1 million in the quarter. The Fund reported net income of $16.5 million, representing the Fund's share of the Partnership's net income and a future income tax recovery of $0.3 million.
In the quarter, the Partnership generated adjusted distributable cash of $41.0 million, or $0.57 per unit, and the Partnership and the Fund declared distributions of $0.32 per unit.
Improved Partnership results compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 were attributable to higher prices for the Partnership's pulp and paper products, lower unit manufacturing costs and increased pulp shipments, partially offset by the stronger Canadian dollar.
First quarter results were negatively impacted by a shutdown at the Prince George Pulp and Paper Mill, which reduced pulp production by approximately 22,000 tonnes and reduced EBITDA by approximately $11.0 million. Included in these amounts were approximately 4,000 tonnes and $4.0 million attributable to advancing the annual maintenance outage originally planned for the second quarter of 2010, which was moved to coincide with unplanned maintenance requiring the shutdown of the mill's recovery boiler. Mitigating the production loss was a record quarter at the Northwood Pulp Mill for both total tonnes and average daily rate.
Pulp markets remained strong as steady pulp demand coupled with large incremental supply side reductions maintained world inventories of pulp at very low levels throughout the quarter. The tight markets allowed producers to implement further price increases in the quarter. NBSK US dollar North American list prices were US$830 per tonne in December 2009 rising to US$910 in March 2010 with announced prices for May of US$1,000. Mitigating the impact of stronger global pulp markets for Canadian producers was the 3% appreciation of the Canadian dollar in relation to the US dollar from December 2009 to March 2010.
The pulp market is expected to remain strong through the second quarter of 2010 as inventories held by producers and customers are well below what is considered to be a balanced market. Industry downtime is expected to continue to impact the supply/demand balance. Factors impacting industry downtime include reduced production due to planned maintenance downtime in the second quarter of 2010, delays of Chilean mills returning to capacity after the February 27 earthquake, and delayed restarts of idled mills.
On April 21, 2010 the Fund announced the monthly distribution of $0.12 per Fund unit for the month of April 2010, to be paid on May 14, 2010. Today the Fund announced an increase in the monthly distribution to $0.20 per Fund unit for the month of May 2010, to be paid on June 15, 2010, to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2010.

WH..keep an eye on this one.Last March they paid a 30c annual divy per share(plus a one-time special cash dividend of 45c per share).Even though not expecting the special divy this time,I'm hoping we'll hear something soon about whether they'll payout the annual divy again this year.This part makes me hope that we will get a divy again,even if a reduced one:
"The board also confirmed and approved the Company's dividend policy to declare annual dividend in the range of 30% to 50% of its annual profit going forward."

Coalition seeks freeze on dividend tax
http://www.webslingerz.com/jhoffman/congress-email.html
By Jay Heflin - 02/27/10 04:01 PM ET
More than 40 utility companies and associations will join forces next week to storm Capitol Hill to fight for the preservation of dividend income tax rates that are set to expire on Dec. 31.
Absent congressional action, the 15 percent tax on dividends resets in January 2011 to pre-2001 levels when most dividends were taxed as income, with rates that topped out at 39.6 percent.
The rate hike presents a political dilemma for congressional Democrats who argue tax increases are needed to rein in the expanding deficit. But upping levies on dividends would predominantly hit middle-income families already struggling to survive the current economic downturn.
“As the country is trying to come out of the worst economic period since the Depression, we’re saying this is not a great time to essentially create a federal tax hike on dividend income,” said Jim Owen, Director of Media Relations at the utility advocacy group Edison Electric Institute (EEI). “There are tens of millions of people that receive dividend income and a great many of them are retired, or teachers, and don’t make a lot of money.”
EEI is a part of a national grassroots advocacy campaign called Defend My Dividend, which will present lawmakers with a study that shows a dividend tax increase will affect 27 million people. Over half of them earn under $75,000 in adjusted gross income.
“If it goes back to [income tax rates] that would take a pretty big bite out of their income stream,” Owen said, adding, “They invest in utility companies expecting to get a good revenue stream.”
All dividends would be affected by this change in law, not just ones from utility companies. Owen’s group seeks to educate lawmakers that a tax increase not only hurts working families, but forces utilities to take on debt, instead of issuing stock that offers a dividend, when raising needed capital.
Interest on debt is a deductible corporate expense for tax purposes; dividends are not.
Companies that require investor capital, like utilities, generally raise capital through a balanced approach that employs both debt and equity. A high dividend tax rate can make it harder to keep the appropriate balance in place, according to Defend My Dividend.
“You most certainly would see a situation where utility companies would have to start using more debt financing rather than equity financing,” Owen said. “They would have to borrow more and that could definitely become a damaging scenario for jobs.”
The Defend My Dividend campaign will use every tool in its arsenal beginning next week – from grassroots efforts to paid advertising – to take its message to lawmakers on the tax-writing committees, as well as the fiscally conservative Blue Dogs and the New Democrats.
A focus on liberal members is warranted since most of them oppose tax break extensions. However, buy in on this issue may not be a tough sell. Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), who chairs the Ways and Means Select Revenue Measures Subcommittee, expects little pushback.
“There seems to be a consensus that you can raise cap gains, at some point, but on the dividend measure I think we need to be more circumspect,” Neal told The Hill. “I don’t think there has been a lot of drilling down on the dividend issue. The conversation has been really focused on cap gains.”
Most capital gains incur a 15 percent tax. Next year, the rate jumps to 20 percent if Congress fails to extend current law.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and is the assist to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), also predicts little resistance, assuming Owen’s group supports President Barack Obama’s budget proposal that doesn’t raise dividend taxes on filers earning less $250,000 but increases rates for taxpayers earning more than this figure.
“We would be comfortable with the president’s approach,” Owen said.
Broadening dividend tax relief to wealthier filers would encounter stiff headwinds from Democrats.
“We’d have a problem,” said Rep. Raul Grijaiva (D-Ariz.), co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, who supports Obama’s proposal on dividends.
“I think we need to keep [current law],” he told The Hill. “I agree with Obama that we have to rollback some of the Bush tax cuts, but the [dividend tax] has produced real support for families.”
Owen’s group will also call on Congress to make the 15 percent dividend tax permanent.
“Should the reduced tax rate on dividends expire, investors may become more hesitant to provide financing for major new projects, disrupting a utility's ability to implement long-term, strategic plans to meet customer demand,” stated the group’s website.
SDRLF.PK now yield over 10%
Divi raised to $0.55.

Hecla Declares Preferred Dividends
Date : 02/19/2010 @ 5:30PM
Source : Business Wire
Stock : Hecla Mining Company (HL)
Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) today announced its Board of Directors has elected to declare the regular quarterly dividend of $0.875 per share on the outstanding Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, for a total amount of approximately $138,000. The cash dividend is payable April 1, 2010, to shareholders of record on March 15, 2010. There are a total of 157,816 shares of Preferred B Stock outstanding.
The Board of Directors also elected to declare the regular quarterly dividend on the outstanding 6.5% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in the amount of $1.625 per share and to pay such dividend in Common Stock of Hecla, for a total amount of approximately $3.27 million in Hecla Common Stock (with cash for fractional shares). The value of the shares of Common Stock issued as dividends will be calculated at 97% of the average of the closing prices of Hecla’s Common Stock over the five consecutive trading day period ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the dividend payment date. There will be no fractional shares issued, so a cash adjustment will be paid to each holder that would be entitled to a fraction of a share of Common Stock (based on the average of the closing prices of Hecla’s Common Stock over the five consecutive trading day period ending on the second trading day immediately preceding the dividend payment date). The dividend is payable April 1, 2010, to shareholders of record on March 15, 2010. There are a total of 2,012,500 shares of 6.5% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. Hecla will capitalize retained earnings for the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock to be issued as dividends. Sale of the shares of Common Stock received as a dividend by a holder will reduce a holder's proportionate equity in the Company. The broker’s cut-off date for the dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be March 31 (one day before the dividend payment date) and the calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the price to be paid for fractional shares will be announced before the opening of business on March 31, but American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the transfer agent for the Company’s shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock, will be instructed to issue fractional share payments to brokers and other nominees as required against full share certificates surrendered by them for a period of one week after the April 1, 2010, payment date of such dividend.
Hecla Mining Company, headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, mines, processes and explores for silver and gold in the United States and Mexico. A 119-year-old company, Hecla has long been well known in the mining world and financial markets as a quality producer of silver and gold. Hecla's common and preferred shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “HL,” “HL-PrB” and “HL-PrC.” Hecla's Home Page can be accessed on the Internet at www.hecla-mining.com.
Good find. time to average down before the push for the last .205 div in March. I might be able to get out w/ out losing. Ive been so busy w/ GOIG hadn't really been doing any DD on it, most people figured they wouldn't announce anything until after the next div. So the article is right they did it below everyones radar.
The CFP downslide is likely due to slashing of the dividend.

You can also use a trailing buy so you follow the price down and then when it starts coming back up it buys for you.
$6 range is its 52 week low but the banks and all have been taking a hit ever since they talked about the gov putting fees on them. My L2 shows them going down to the $4 range. If you bought high and plan on holding for awhile you can average down little by little. The big thing w/ them is if they are going to continue the div after March. I bought high and averaged down to 7.15 but I have also been getting monthly div since Dec.
What do you think of CFP now that its in the $6 range?
Always do DD even if etrade has a date. Sometimes they put the record date up by accident. Rule of thumb I use is buy a week before because the pps normally goes up the amount of the div during the week. You have to buy the stock 3 days before the record date T+3 on the ex date the pps trades at post div and you can sell on the ex date and still get the div. If you buy on the ex date or after you won't get the div. The next ex date is 3/11/10.
I could have sworn the div date was Feb 12, but I shouldnt trust what I read.
Its not only them all the finance companys are getting hit. But the big thing is all the profit takers getting the div yesterday and selling. Last week it was at a little below $7
I wonder why its tanking today? Maybe because I bought it :)
Damn, I had it radared, but was watching March for the ex date.

They are wrong 12th is the record date. the pps adjusted down .20 yesterday, if you buy today you won't receive the div you had to buy it on the 9th to get the div. You always have to buy the day before the ex (3 days before the record date).
Right, but E-Trade is reporting the ex date as March 12, not February 12, which is why I was trying to find out if I was too late to the party
The ex date was the 10th yesterday the record date is the 12th if you buy today its to late
I see the x-div as March 12, am I missing something? I have been eyeballing it for a while
I've been in it since Dec. nice divy each month but the pps dropped from $9 to below $8 I have just been averaging down.
CFP: Nice post OCwave. 30% div: X-div date coming up in Feb 12, 2010.
Valentine's Day. Maybe I'll pick some up for my wife.
She can buy her own flowers with the divi :)
I also noticed that its a bit oversold at the moment.
I wouldn't worry about it, only pays one div a yr so it's not worth it.
Had to wait for some funds to clear . Will wait for a dip or see what it does
Did you get any lect when I told you about it the price was 4.05 now its 5.25
Anytime, I hope it helps.
It has helped me on a few opportunities.
Have a good weekend.
Tim
Tim, thanks for the info.....

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
