Annaly Capital Management, Inc. Announces Preferred Dividends

You know that buying a stock makes you part owner of a company, theoretically with millions of other people. But, while
ownership has its privileges (at minimum you get a neat stock certificate and an invitation to the annual meeting), being
an owner doesn't necessarily pay. Sure, you make money if the stock goes up, but only if you sell, and you can, in theory,
lose all the value of your investment if Read the rest of this entry »

money, the company can make larger investments, and, therefore, receive larger returns. At least, that's the theory. However,
along with leverage comes risk, because it not only magnifies the potential profit, but the potential loss as well.

Some REIT Dividends Are Part Stock, Part Cash

NO one knows when the slumping stock market will finally rebound, which is why many Wall Street pundits have been advising investors to stick with dividend-paying companies in the interim. After all, they figure, you might as well get paid while you wait.
Sage advice, for sure. Yet there are no guarantees that even those companies will keep their dividends at current levels, especially in these turbulent times.

A recent ruling allowed real estate investment trusts (REITs) to take a one-year break from paying out 90% of their pretax income to shareholders in the form of dividend. Instead, some cash-strapped REITs are paying out their dividends with 10% cash and 90% stock.
Here's where it gets really messed up: Those stock dividends are taxed as though they were cash. But the problem is that those stock dividends are really worth nothing because they go Read the rest of this entry »
