Summary

• Prior to December 31, 2023, my REaders mentioned 34 equities in their comments on my articles. Some bad-news investments (ROgues) mixed with (mostly) FAvorites. Thus, these are ReFa/Ro.
• Ten analyst-target-estimated TOP-NET-GAIN Re/Fa/Ro: KVUE, PFE, TTE, DHT, F, EFC, EURN, RC, XOM, and ORC averaged 34.48% net gains from reader data collected 1/23/23.
• Ten analyst-target-augured December TOP-PRICE-UPSIDE reader faves & rogues (ReFa/Ro) were: DHT, WBA, UNH, PFE, KVUE, RC, TTE, F, XOM, & ORC boasting a 26.87% average target price upside estimate.
• By YIELD, the following ReFa/Ro made the top ten: RC; PSEC; FSK; EFC; TPVG; AGNC; ORC; CRF; EURN; CLM. They averaged 14.93% annual yield. (Two stocks made all three lists this month: ORC and RC).
• $5k invested in the lowest-priced five of these top-yield ReFa/Ro dividend dogs showed 23.84% more net-gain than from $5k invested in all ten. Little (lower-priced) ReFa/Ro dogs out-ran this pack by over two and one-third lengths in December. Of 34 mentioned, 23 qualified as “ideal,” as their dividends from $1k invested exceeded their single share price.

Since May 2017, any dividend-paying stock mentioned in a message, e-mail or comment to the author is fair game for a reader-favorite listing in this series of articles. Thus, it is possible that only rogues and discontinued, or dreadful, doubtful, dividend issues may appear.

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 and that can 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....
