New trade – Ferrellgas Partners LP (FGP) put selling

FGP is one of the stocks I wish to buy and own. It is an MLP paying nice dividend and the stock is optionable. It pays 10.50% dividend as of this writing. However, the company has never increased its dividend since it started paying it in 1994. Thus I am willing to hold this stock Continue reading →

Wating for the stock can improve profits – attempting to buy NGLS

Wating for the stock can improve profits - attempting to buy NGLS

On many occasions I have read and heard dividend investors saying that it doesn’t matter much when you buy your dividend paying stock and if you invest regularly, in long term the prices will smooth into average anyway.

Originally my plan was to use non transaction mutual funds (NTF) as a savings vehicle.

Trade adjustment – AT&T (T) addition

The power of dividends

Today I sold my stake in Full Circle Capital (FULL) because I didn’t like the outlook of this company and I think, there is a potential for a dividend cut.
