2024-04-24 06:09:23 ET

Summary

• Prior to March 31, 2024, my readers mentioned 32 equities in their comments on my articles. Some bad-news investments (ROgues) mixed with (mostly) FAvorites. Thus, they remarked about the ReFa/Ro.
• Ten analyst-target-estimated top net gain ReFa/Ro: JNJ, HEES, AGNC, PFE, ACRE, PFS, EFC, VALE, ESEA, and SQM averaged 34.61% net gains from reader data collected 4/19/23.
• Ten analyst-target-augured March top price upside reader faves & rogues (ReFa/Ro) were: O, EPR, JNJ, HEES, EFC, PFE, PFS, VALE, ESEA, & SQM, boasting a 26.84% average target price upside estimate.
• By yield, the following ReFa/Ro made the top ten: VVR, PBR, EFC, PDI, VALE, FSK, XFLT, ACRE, AGNC, OXLC. They averaged 14.72% annual yield. Two stocks made all three lists this month: VALE & EFC.
• $5k invested in the lowest-priced five of these top-yield ReFa/Ro dividend dogs showed 15% LESS net-gain than from $5k invested in all ten. Bigger (higher-priced) ReFa/Ro dogs out-ran this pack by one and one-half lengths in March. Of the 32 mentioned, 20 qualified as “ideal”, as their dividends from $1k invested exceeded their single share prices.

Frequently readers and other contributors have questioned the intent, purpose, validity, and usefulness of my daily stock lists. Most, however, praise the effort to sort promising opportunities out of the thousands of dividend offers. After all, yield counts when searching for dividend winners.

Furthermore, my dog catching is, by method, a contrarian investing strategy which is known to rub some investors the wrong way. It is most useful for new buyers; intended to guide readers to new purchases of dogs on the dips. These lists are suggestions, or warnings, not recommendations....
