Default Coke/Dividend

Just a note on some numbers I read today on Coke (KO)... which I own.

Given the size of - and the maturity of - Coke as a company... they're still 'growing'. And the better part - to me - is something that I look for in a DIVIDEND payer i.e., GROWTH IN THE DIVIDEND because that keeps you ahead of INFLATION even if your share price is static.

Coca-Cola has grown its revenue by 8.7%, its earnings by 19%, and its dividend by 9.5% annually over the past 5 years.

Default Interesting statistic

I found this and clipped it from an article.... and I have two takeaways from it:

Long term - and being counter or contrarian investor (I have LEARNED to be somewhat of a contrarian)... and maybe a third takeaway - eventually your earned interest/dividends will add more than you can on your own!

+++++++++++++++++++++++

As the past two centuries have shown, there has never been a 15-year period in which stocks delivered losses. That means when an investor buys in a given year, they can be reasonably certain of earning positive returns on their investment within 15 years—with gains ranging from just above zero to over 100%. Averaging the returns over the long run works out to 7% to 9% per year.

Investments made during the bullish phases are more likely to have long-term results closer to the zero bound. Conversely, investments made during the bearish phase are more likely to end up closer to the 100% level.

Not to be overlooked is the compounding of returns. Someone investing a portion of their income each year has a good chance of finding that, after 15 to 20 years, the return on their portfolio rather than salary deductions, is making a greater contribution to their retirement fund.

Louis Navellier is a super smart guy... and this is a very good - short - read about super easy to follow things to look for in a stock. Forget the stock advice at the end - that's not the reason for this post -- but rather his "reasoning" behind looking for GROWING EARNINGS... in his stock picks.

Just got a call from my broker today, one of my stocks went up 5.00 today and the company is being taken over, he suggested we sell and move to a different energy stock that pays 7.5% dividend.
my plan ended up with a 20% return over the last year and is up 5% this year already.
He was saying it has been the best performing plan he has reviewed this year sofar. i just wish i had way more in there.
but all i do is look at it and forget about it,i have averaged about 17% over the last 8 years

Some guys are better lucky than smart.... which category do you fit?

Are you mostly in Canadian stocks and funds?? Eh?? I don't track "their" market but it wouldn't surprise me a bit that overall that market might be better than the US! We have managed to spend ourselves into oblivion... and just about wrecked our housing market (because we're a nation of over spenders!). Maybe we should swap places?!?! But you have to leave the Nova behind.

Definatly in the SMRT catagory!!!! oh wait I just reread the question, you must be talking about someone else cuz smart and lucky are not in my vocabulary. Now the broker he might be smart??? or lucky i really don't care which it is
