These numbers may be a little deceiving. YTD, four of these stocks underperformed the S&P500, including dividends. REM is just too smal to buy with a fair price.During the past 12 years, this portfolio went down -90%, indicating you may incur a -90% risk. Of course, past performance doesn't promise you any future results, so you never know.
BFR was a past risk and I think thats done with.
The earnings expected next year indicate a turnaround.
So I expect the yield to be safe.
Correct me if I am wrong.
uwpltr,
I don't think that anyone is right or wrong in this game. Estimates and revisions thereof are usually not very reliable. You can easily back test that with Zacks' Research Wizard. The stocks you selected have a long history of very steep descents. As you rightfully said, the future may give a turnaround. The only thing I tried to say is that I wouldn't bet on it, given the history of these stocks and the general unreliability of estimates.
Uhhhm, actually, UpaTree is in fackt wrong in this case. based on the trendlow BFR formt taday it has a gar-own-teed date with at least 3.50....ann thaaas ass-ooming it gits some relief to finish off the trendy. More selling will begat a loooower targut numba. It'll be yet anudder case of someone who will be given an opp to sssplain the logic behind eliminating a majer chunk ov yer bankroll in order toooooo >Capture the divvie. *-) DizziMo will have a sheeeyitload ov essplainin ta do with all his dummass divvie plays basides....too bad he will be completely silent (by necessity) come esssplainin time *-) 3J
