Yowsa --- mind boggling dividend of $1.62 (7.2%)

There's a ton of high-yield gas companies out there, right now ---- and I've got no clue how to figure out which one's going to be the best, or how long it will last.

The President was jaw-boning about natural gas being the future ---- so I'm thinking this is a good sector to be in, for now. Just wish I knew more about corporate structures, and why they're always dividing, merging, and re-structuring.

The most knowledgeable bunch of O&G investors that I know of are here.

BTW, 7.2% mind boggling? QRE 11.06%. BBEP 9.71%. BWP 8.61%.

ok ok.....

I usually chase growth stocks, not dividend stocks - so I don't really know what I'm talking about.

I think that is a normal and good transition as we get older.

I have no position. Yld is "only" 4.8%. Not sure of that is based on div. before or after the increase. I focus more on current yld because at 60 I can't wrap my mind on a long term horizon. However with a decent time horizon smart money backed by some studies advocate dividend growth vs current yld.

For example the 10,000$ income a month thread I started a while back

is for a young 20 something who is in the Navy and has disposable income his dad invests for him.

(He might even be a Nuc. I can't remember but IMO his dad is pretty smart.)

"It is too bad that many of our younger people just want to spend and not save. At my employers workers are eligible to participate in matching retirement and HSA accounts and only 1% do it. Most of them would rather have a Coach purse than save anything for their retirement. It is definitely the me generation.

Spot on. Unfortunately too many folks think the government will take care of them when they get old, yet our national debt spirals out of control. Too much entitlement mentality among folks

I started saving early on - both for retirement plus non-retirement funds via automatic transfers from my bank account and built up a nice nest egg. Always maximized retirement contributions to get my employer match. People who do not amaze me. By not doing so you are pissing away free money. I have already told my daughter when she finishes college and starts working in the real world, she is going to give me 5% of her check each pay that I will invest for her.

The power of compounding works wonders over time"
