50% of federal prisoners are in for drug crimes,it`s an industry,a growing one.
Geez, I had bought that stock at $6 long ago. Sure wish I had kept it. Who'da thunk prison systems would be so lucrative?
$6.63 Apr 08, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- CCA CXW +2.68% (the "Company" or "Corrections Corporation of America"), announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a special dividend to shareholders of $675 million, or approximately $6.63 per share of common stock based on the number of shares currently outstanding, in connection with the Company's previously announced plan to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes effective as of January 1, 2013. The special dividend will be paid in satisfaction of requirements that the Company distribute its previously undistributed accumulated earnings and profits attributable to tax periods ending prior to January 1, 2013. The Company expects to pay the special dividend on May 20, 2013 to shareholders of record as of April 19, 2013.
SAIC (SAI), which provides IT and engineering services to the DoD and other federal agencies, has announced a $1 special dividend to be distributed in June to all common shareholders. The special dividend has a yield of 7.5% at current market prices. This is a nice distribution for shareholders, and should ease concerns about sequestration. Management is signaling that even with budget cuts, the company will be fine.
Even sequestration, management has mentioned that backlog has not changed at all. The company ended the quarter with $17.9 billion in backlog, and has already received $5.4 billion of it. There has been no reduction in backlog so far with the budget cuts.
SAIC has already submitted bids on $24 billion worth of contracts. During Q4, the company won 8 contracts with more than a $100 million each. This does not include the $1 billion in classified intelligence programs.
So as we can see, budget cuts have not really made any dent for SAIC. FY 2014 EPS is expected to be $1.16-$1.33. The range is larger since management is being cautious about the $42.5 billion in defense cuts. However, I do believe that the company is likely to earn above $1.25 per share given the current backlog and the new bids that went out.
As for free cash flow going forward, cash flow from operations is expected to be $450 million for FY 2014. CapEx is only going to be 1% of operating cash flow. Therefore, free cash flow will remain well above $400 million. This is more than enough to cover the regular dividend of $164 million. The payout ratio to free cash flow is 41%
Any company making money and returning some back to shareholders is a watchlist pic.In my world of stocks FWIW
What a weird company, they only declare dividends in May and September. They have cut the dividend dramatically last year, almost in half, then come back with their biggest dividend ever.
A oil and gas drilling company mostly in Asia. Not quite sure about that one. Currently 50% from it's high at around $190 per share.

SAIC's (NYSE: SAI ) results are in Q4 and fiscal 2012, and the numbers reveal a strong quarter. For Q4, revenue totaled $2.7 million, up from the $2.5 billion in the same period the previous year. The technology company swung to a net profit, at $186 million ($0.54 per diluted share) from Q4 2011's bottom-line loss of just under $161 million ($0.49).
Analysts had been expecting revenue of $2.7 billion and EPS of $0.51 for this most recent quarter.
For the full year, the top line was $11.2 billion, a 6% increase over the 2011 figure of $10.5 million. Net profit was significantly higher, at $525 million ($1.54 per diluted share) for the year versus 2011's $59 million ($0.18).
SAIC proffered guidance for its current fiscal year. The company believes it will post $10.0 billion to $10.7 billion in revenue, and diluted EPS of $1.16 to $1.33.

It's not a dividend payment, it's a return of principle.
ORGN.... stock I am pretty new to. I was looking over their dividend distribution over the past couple of years (since 2003)

Weren't you the guy whining on some board about how you didn't know what you were doing? Sheesh. You amateurs crack me right up.

that all the rest of us peons should bow down to.
What a joke!
...especailly when they spout off BS as FACT
when really it's just their OPINION!
...and spew off the wall accusations!!
Oh, but wait! Because they're trading GODS
everything they say should be accepted as fact, right?

Remember when that fung derf guy was harassing you for bringing that up on this board. I bought LPHI and i am glad i listened to ya Dianne!
Geez you are freakin' annoying. What I had said was the stock is ghoulish and disgusting, not non profitable. I'm sure you can make money by supplying body parts to clinics as well. Why don't you just go raid tombs?
WoW! I sure feel like an IDIOT for bringing LPHI to this board back in Oct when it was around $2.30!!!
It's now in the 4's + I will be collecting another divy soon.
(the 2nd since Oct)
I'm closing in on a 100% gain in 5 months time...
it's a good thing the "smart" investors on this board

JE is finally under 7.70 like i called it about week ago. They will probably see a few dips to the 6.88 range but i think they may hold until the next earnings report and will slowly build back to the $10 a share range over the next few months as summer increases need for energy. I believe if you look at the chart history, the last few years this stock has seen it's peak in April to May.
JE dropped about 1.50 today :( due to in April the div will drop to about .07 a month but: copied form their website.
Currently JE has been recovering from a bad year they lost money in their ethanol debt and acquired some loans to where they are in debt i believe. But buy in the 7.7 to 8.9 range and anything under that is gravy. They also dropped the div to .07 per share a month. Also remember there is a Canadian sec tax of 15% this will drop it to .0505 a share which is still a great monthly dividend which when you think about it for every 1.75 you spend right now you gain about 1 cent a month. This is a great stock I believe for the Div. and any thing you can but under 7.70 is gravy. I would use the next year to load up for 2014 and they will be doing even better in 2015.
Highlights for the three months ended December 31, 2012, included:
? Gross customer additions through marketing of 341,000, up 10% compared to 310,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The 341,000 customers is a continuation of consistently high levels of customer additions seen over the past two years.
? Consumer customer additions were 150,000, up 34% from fiscal 2012. Commercial additions of 191,000 were down 4% from the record 198,000 added a year earlier.
? National Home Services installed base up 44% year over year to 222,000 with gross margin up 32% to $9.5 million. Including NHS customers, Just Energy exited the year at 4,346,000 customers, up 11% from a year earlier.
? TGF ethanol plant margin down sharply to $2.2 million for the quarter from $6.5 million in fiscal 2012.
? Overall gross margin of $142.5 million, down 3% year over year.
? Adjusted EBITDA of $72.5 million, down 18% year over year, reflecting earnings before marketing expenditures to add new gross margin.
? Future embedded gross margin of $2.2 billion ($15.19 per share), up 12% year over year from $1.9 billion ($13.56 per share).
? Payout ratio on Adjusted EBITDA was 62% for the quarter, compared to 50% for the three months ended December 31, 2011. For the trailing 12 months, the payout ratio was 65% compared to 60% a year earlier.
? Payout ratio on trailing 12-month Base Funds from Operations was 172%, up from 96% a year earlier as cash from operations was used to fund growth expenditures which have rapid payback periods.
? Year to date gross margin growth of 9% lags behind published annual guidance of 10% to 12%, and year to date Adjusted EBITDA down 6%, well below the published annual guidance of 8% to 10%.
it's a good time to get in but I’m waiting for about 7.70 a share I think people leaving will drop the share price to a new low
Yeah, I've got about 750 shares of STON that I bought around $29 or so in 2010. Nice dividend that keeps rising. The stock has recently broken through a resistance and may well be rising as well (no pun intended either)
Stock i love my per share 3.11 LPHI div.10 a quarter and per share 9.80 JE div .1033 but its dropping to .07 for stocks. mutual funds franklin tempoltons aggrisive growt fund for 2.34 a share produces .01 monthly
for the JE there is a canadian SEC tax of 15% but it still is monthly and about i think 7%ish yearly.
Dannie my JE divineds are dropping from .1033 to .07 a month so that they can pay off some debt and fuel future growth. Plus the ethonal sector hurt their earnings last year. Other than that now I need another $1K so I can triple down hehe. So what have you been chasing that has a great div?
LPHI I still love it and will remember to thank you for years to come i'm sure of it.
yeah, I am starting to hate penny stocks. All they seem to be are pipe dreams. I have seen very few make it. HANS and JSDA are the only 2 I can think of right off of the top of my head.
I like STON right now. almost a 10% dividend in a market that will never die, no pun intended :)
I post quality dividend stocks on this board....
http://investorshub.advfn.com/Dividends-1726/
No penny stocks though.
Getting back into the dividend game for the long haul. Reality hit me the other day, and rolling the dice on the "next big thing" isnt paying out. Playing it safe, so I will be posting around here a lot more. Anyone have any good long term divi stocks I should look at? I am really scoping out STON (stonemore partners) right now.
Validus Holdings, Ltd. (“Validus” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VR) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the following capital management actions:

Insider greed is alive and well,they will pay more on taxes but it will always peak interest from shareholders.
Weird. I figured all the companies offering special dividends would be done by 12/31/12. Why do it now?
Park Electrochemical Corp. (NYSE - PKE) announced that its Board of Directors has declared a special cash dividend of $2.50 per share payable February 26, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 12, 2013.

"Revenues down"??? AOD owns blue chips. Income is from their dividends which are actually going up. The broad market is soaring. Explain "revenues down?"
You might want to visit my AOD board and learn how a "smoke and mirrors" CEF like AOD creates its illusions:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/Alpine-Total-Dynamic-Dividend-CEF-AOD-15993/
I don't see the Aplines, AOD and AGD, as scams. They had to cut because revs are down. Also this on PGH ... http://seekingalpha.com/article/1111661-pengrowth-energy-goes-all-in-on-lindbergh
The Alpine fund mentioned (AOD) just cut its div 50% and is plummeting.
Most of those listed are borderline scams.
any idea why PGH is such a laggerd? also this.........

MCLEAN, Va. (AP) — Sunrise Senior Living Inc. said Friday that it will issue a special cash dividend in connection with its deal with Health Care REIT Inc.
NYSE:SRZ
Health Care REIT is a real estate investment trust that invests in senior housing and health care real estate. The Toledo, Ohio, company announced in August that it will buy McLean, Va.-based Sunrise in an all-cash deal worth about $1 billion.
Sunrise said Friday that under terms of the agreement, it declared a conditional special cash dividend of $2.10 per share to shareholders of record as of Jan. 8 at a total cost of roughly $129.5 million.
Sunrise shareholders will get $12.40 per share as part of the deal plus the dividend, for a total of $14.50 per share. The payment will be made following completion of the deal.
Sunrise shareholders are expected to vote on the deal at the special meeting on Jan. 7. The company expects it to close by Jan. 9.
Sunrise operates roughly 303 senior living communities in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom.
Its shares closed unchanged at $14.39.
Good summery of the special dividends (IMO)
Good article and I believe what we have been discussing here. Some companies paying out dividends, did so because they were cash heavy and wanted to pay out before taxes set in. I believe these were the solid companies with solid earnings who could afford to do so. I also believe it WAS beneficial to the shareholders as otherwise, the companies may have been cash laden with no where to go with it.
On the other hand, there were the companies borrowing money to pay out dividends. These companies are perhaps counting on low interest rates remaining intact, and perhaps were just looking for a way to reward the insiders of the company, while taking on more debt.
I would say it has been important to know the difference and do your due diligence before jumping on any and all of these. JMO, of course.
"Insanity Of The Chase For Special Dividends"
Author also compares div chase to the dot com bubble
http://seekingalpha.com/article/1062171-the-insanity-of-the-chase-for-special-dividends
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:DHIL) today confirmed the payment of its special dividend of $8.00 per share. The Company estimates that between $4.75 and $5.25 of the special dividend will be characterized as qualified dividend income, with the balance characterized as return of capital. The Company expects to finalize the tax characterization of the dividend in late January 2013
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The board of directors of Dominion (NYSE: D) today set a new goal to achieve a 65-70 percent dividend payout ratio. The new policy replaces one established in December 2010 to achieve a 60-65 percent payout ratio. The board also set a 2013 dividend rate of $2.25 per share of common stock, up from $2.11 per share in 2012, or a 6.6 percent increase. Subject to board declaration in January, the first quarterly dividend of 56.25 cents per share will be payable in March 2013.
Thomas F. Farrell II , chairman, president and chief executive officer, said:
"The new dividend payout ratio and rate reflect the recent refinement of Dominion's business model — reducing our reliance on commodity-based earnings resulting in a more heavily weighted shift in the operating earnings mix toward regulated enterprises — and expected earnings growth. We believe our shareholders should share in the company's success."
The expected 2013 dividend rate increase would mark the 10th consecutive year in which the annual dividend rate rose from the prior year. After such a dividend rate hike, the annual dividend rate will have increased 63 percent since 2006, when Dominion announced it would transform the company by selling its non-Appalachian exploration and production business.
Dominion is one of the nation's largest producers and transporters of energy, with a portfolio of approximately 27,400 megawatts of generation, 11,000 miles of natural gas transmission, gathering and storage pipeline and 6,300 miles of electric transmission lines. Dominion operates one of the nation's largest natural gas storage systems with 947 billion cubic feet of storage capacity and serves retail energy customers in 15 states.

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
