      Warren Buffet, The Ultimate Dividend Investor
      I assumed the opposite of Warren Buffet, that he would want to have those earning kept by the company to compound and grow. Dividends that are
      paid out are taxed yearly, while cash that is kept by companies grows and
      eventually you pay capital gains, but they are paid only once. So all that money you paid in taxes could have compounded inside the share price over the period that you own the shares.
      Warren beleaves that compounding is the secret to the highest after tax
      rate of return. Owning a company is alot more about fundamentals, then what they pay out as dividends.

      Canadian Oil Sands: Gates and Buffett Visit
      Buffet was in China this year, and even said today he is
      looking to invest there. So he likes to see first hand some
      of the companies, and sectors that will grow in the
      future. He also said he bid 500 million for a company
      in China that was turned down. Everyone can
      understand oil, and how much it runs our lives. Buffet
      knows that the United States wants oil from friendly
      countrys, and Canada is just north.

      GE: Why Buying on Weakness Is an Excellent Idea
      I wish they would spin off or sell NBC. Now is the time when the
      olympics are generating profits, and exposure. Long term less
      people are watching tv, and more are surfing the net. So growth
      at NBC may be slow. Take that cash and pay a special dividend or
      buy back more shares. Invest part of it in green energy. That will drive
      growth in the future. Especially with the emerging markets
      building boom. The company has too many moving parts and
      should concentrate on growth. I own the company, but the shares
      have been stuck in neutral for a decade.

      Is Microsoft Out of Ideas?
      A special dividend would be great, why not use some of the
      cash they generate every quarter. Cloud computing is a
      huge future growth area, why not spend some cash there. Yahoo
      is falling in price, and if they ( msft ) wait longer they could
      buy Yahoo for a better value.

      The Great American Economy? Take a Closer Look
      Very good article,
      Where is the money going to come from to fund social security, and
      medicare when the huge amount of baby boomers start retiring?
      These programs were designed for a workforce that was supported
      by a large number of younger workers. That is not the case in
      the near future. People are living longer, and healthier than in
      the past, which will put an enormous demand on these
      programs. Either the government will raise pay-roll deductions, or
      tax wealthy retired people who have payed into the system
      their whole lives.
      The trend is for the government to borrow more from other
      countries, instead of export goods. The debt keeps growing,
      which will be passed onto the younger generations.
      The real question is do we make painful choices now, or let
      our children deal with the problems?

      Microsoft: How About a Leveraged Buyback?
      How about a special dividend again or an increase. That
      would be a better use of our money. They have wasted
      enough with the yahoo mess.
      Buy backs only benefit the employees with options

      Three Stocks To Be Held To Infinity and Beyond
      I assume that if the dividends were re-ivested in shares that
      the value would be five or six times the amount. Compounding
      is the secret to building wealth over time. All three companes
      have a long history of bumping up the dividend. I'm a buyer
      on the dips, and own all three.

      Four Long-Term Winners Selling at Deep Discounts
      Good Article
      I own THI, and GE
      So GE missed a quarter, who cares. They will provide long
      term investors with buckets full of dividends, and growth. Reading
      last night that green energy will be bigger than the internet in
      about a decade. Wind power dos'nt burn coal, and the US will
      eat it up to stave off being tied to the middle east. Boone Pickins
      and his billions invested into wind farms in Texas. When a oil
      man looks to green energy, watch out!
      "Tim's" is a small cap, and we know that the group has the
      most potential for growth. They are moving into the US at
      a moderate pace. In Canada they have a wide moat, as
      buffit likes to say. Go ahead and bet against these two
      companies, it's your loss.
      Cheers

      Pfizer Beats: Recommended at or Below $18
      I keep thinking to myself that people who are sick, or use
      viagra would go for quality, and not the "no-name" brands.
      I'm not sure that PFE future is so uncertain, especially with
      that hord of cash they can use to buy back shares,
      look for smaller pharmas who have good options in the
      pipeline, and of course bumping up the dividend.
      People needs drugs, and the boomers are hitting that
      stage in life when they have disposable income, and
      are living longer. Health care, and indirectly drugs are
      a growth area now and in the future.

      GE: Too Tired For Growth, But Yield's Attractive
      The auther has it all wrong, GE will grow as emerging markets
      continue to grow. The financial side of the business is down
      at the moment, but will rebound. Green energy, especially
      wind power is here to stay, and will grow.
      The dividend is safe and growing, because earnings will
      grow.
      Good thing the rating question has been removed from
      the articles. The quality of some of these stories is
      poor.
