Gregor B: SFL cut its dividend earlier this year. I only look at stocks with a minimum of 5 years of consecutive increases.

Best Wishes,

Hello there, DFL.

Been reading your blogs with great interest. But how come you seldom(never) mention SFL? This company has been delivering constant dividends throughout the current crisis (although it was sliced at the start of 09.)

This stock is currently yielding about 8,5-9 %, by far better than many of your other recommendations. This is just a friendly tip – if you have considered it and let SFL go, Id like to know. Would not let this stock go in my search for dividens for life..

thx. D:.

Handan: I have stopped buying foreign stock in my income portfolio due to the volatility caused by the flucutating exchange rates. As for MRK and LMT I don't recall looking at those. For the most part, I select stocks from my Stock Ideas page. These have increased their dividends for at least 10 consecutive years. Best Wishes, D4L

Hi,

I enjoy your articles and links. I read the “MSN Money presented 10 dividend stocks for your nest egg” and compared those stocks to your analyst reports.

Some of them do not appear on your list. What is your take on the following stocks?
Nestlé:NSRGY
Novartis:NVS
Banco Santander:STD
Merck: MRK
Lockheed Martin: LMT

The first three are foreign stocks. Is that the main reason that you’re not interested in thme?

Do you plan to cover them in your analyst reports?

Thanks,

Handan
