“Foreign tax due” in most cases means that you will need to shell out 15% Canadian tax, paid to Canadian government. So if you get paid $100 dividend, you will only receive $85, reducing your effective dividend yield.

But you can get all or some of these Canadian tax dollars back by filing tax. For all details, see post #5 of “Foreign Taxes Withheld Problem” in the recommended reading section.

I’ve commented extensively about oil tankers on this post by ML:
http://www.1stmillionat33.com/2007/01/oil-tanker/

I would tentatively doubt that the fair value of NAT is $27. Only the single-hull tankers must worry. Over-supply is here already I believe. The supply should shrink going towards the date when all single-hull tankers must be retired. As I have said previously, I bought NAT at about $33 when it had 3 tankers only. Now it’s still some $30 dollars plus some debt and dilution, but it’s got almost 15 tankers.

When the general economy (and therefore the stock market) falters, this stock will fall too due to the reduced economic activities.

In any case, I don’t worry so much about NAT mainly because it’s some 1% of my portfolio. You may want to take that into consideration, since I can pretty much afford this stock going to $0.

Hey Frugal,
Thanks for the great website and post here. I’ve been following your high div picks after you posted this. GMR had a big volume day this week and NAT has been in the news recently, dropping 5% on high volume 2-14-07, the CEO on CNBC this week, and Q4 earnings and dividends announcements. Morningstar has a new analyst report and lists NAT’s fair value at $27, below the current price ~$35. They argue that the spot market ship over supply is coming and forecast negative growth coming… what do you think? Can they keep paying the 15%? What about GMR and VLCCF? It seems a bit risky to invest here. I admit I’m a bit risk averse for these type of stocks, but I’m trying to branch out because with risk sometimes comes some great rewards. Give me some wisdom. Thanks!

Bill,
I have not followed REIT that much. But I don’t think the mortgage problems are over. There will definitely be strong counter-rally, especially due to Fed cutting interest rates. But I am not so sure for 3-5 years down the road. As you know, housing market moves very slowly, and the bear market has just begun for at most 1 year if you starting counting from Nov 2005.

As a rule of discipline, I won’t invest in REIT for longer than 1 year due to my real estate holding in my own home. So you may not want to rely on my opinion on this.

By: Bill Carson

Bill Carson — Sun, 07 Jan 2007 19:49:10 +0000

What’s you guys’ opinions about the REITs now? Most are at 52 week lows.
True, they may go lower. Predictions of 1 in 5 mortgages ending in foreclosure are everywhere. These companies still have to pay out 90% of their earnings. Most should make it without cutting their dividend which spells great oppertunity. NFI and NEW seem especially attractive. Most of these companies sell their loans in baskets to other investors anyway which reduces their risks. I’ve held a position in AHR for 2 years now and have watched it for 6 years. They will make it and keep their dividend the same reguardless of their share price. The majority of their loans are commercial and that sector is doing way better. The Fed will have to cut rates if the housing situation gets too bad. They let rates get too low and now the majority of the population owes more than their house is worth. If the government let all these people fail we would have a dpression that would rival the 30’s. Soaking up shares in these low priced REITs now could yield big returns 3-5 years down the road. My only concern is whether the 15% dividend tax rate will be extended past ‘08. What do you guys think?

James,
Asset allocation FIRST. If you can increase the allocation of PGH-related stocks, I think you can probably increase your investment somewhat (Feb 07 may be a better time, just IMHO).

$38,350.00 dollars if you had that much money or more to stick in this stock (((ENT))) you would make $600.00 a month just off of the dividends
as of right now this stock is at the price of $7.67 a share.

I did a follow up on (((GNI))) and this stock is blowing others away $113.95 dollars a share
if you bought 450 shares you would spend 51,277.50 and this is how much you would make every quarter $1,485 just off of that dividend I have recommended this stock before and I was doing great I held on to this stock and sold it and made a nice profit. If A dividend stock goes up or goes down You are still making money. Even if you bought 300 shares of this stock you would make 990.00 a quarter and you would have spent $34.185.00 just to get those dividends. is that worth it yes why is it worth it if a person was working at walmart they could take that money and invest it into (((GNI))) and make over 400.00 a month or invest it into other oil and gas royalty’s Thats even great for a person who wants a small social security check. I have some other stocks you can look at here is my other list I have done some research and looked at the dividends some pay monthly and others pay quarterly some are the same and I have alot of diffrent ones. pick the ones that are best for you or that could help out other people you know enjoy Adam T.

AAV,AHM,AIP,BPT,CNE,CRT,ENT,ERF,FRO,

I had and have owned PGH for years and was always happy w/the monthly dividend. The recent Canadian tax news caused it to plummet. However, from what I understand, for the already established Canadian Energy Trusts the new tax won’t take effect for another three to four years. If this is true the drop in price was far more emotional (on a mass scale) than logical. It seems to me that PGH is now an even better yielding stock w/the same taxes as previously and will continue this way for several years. Frugal (or other informed person) can you confirm or refute this train of thought? I’ve been thinking of purchasing more based on this logic. Thanks.

I’ve commented on the tax changes for trust. And definitely that change will make any non-Canadian trusts look better.

What do you guys think of the news that the Canadian government is going to start charging income trusts starting in 2011? It should affect most of the canadian energy trusts. Makes NAT look even better.

Haven’t heard any update so far on CanRoy tax/legislation. But the damage has been done. I don’t expect anymore damages due to the tax situation.

Anyone have any comments on the CanRoy situation with regards to taxes and legislation? Some oil trusts are now yielding 14 to 18% on the recent fall. AAV and CNE look interesting at first glance.

I think Adam could help you more on the high dividend stocks as I’m a beginner also.

In the past, I would stick to stocks like PFE, BAC, C (any bank stocks) that yields 3.5% – 5% for dividend. But that’s nothing compared to the 10+% listed by Adam.

My first experience was with this Canadian Enegery Trust (PVS) which yields about 11%. I got out soon after since the price fluxuated to yeild me a nice little profit.

I’m also trying to learn how to determine the value of Adam’s Dividend stocks, and not just blindly follow another mans advice.

Looking into the oil tankers stocks listed by Adam, I feel that demand for oil transportation will be stable, as growing countries in China will need a constant supply, furthermore I read that singled hulled oil tanker ships will be phased out by 2010 which means less ships (guessing).

It would help if there were more information readly available for these foreign oil tanker companies, cuz I would like to know if they need to upgrade their fleet for the up-coming change, and etc.

Like Adam says, You will need to do your own research / homework, and determine if the company is worth your investment. We’re in the information age, and all the information you need is just 1 click away.

thanks for your time Adam T.

By: William C

William C — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 17:19:40 +0000

Here’s an example for Adam:

if stock A cost $100 a share but yields 10% dividend of ($10 per share)

Stock B cost $10 a share and also yields 10% dividend or ($1 per share)

And you have $1,000 which one will yield you the most dividend ?

The answer is they’re the same

Stock A = $1000/$100 = 10 Shares of A, and your dividend would be $100 (10 Shares x $10 dividend)

Stock B = $1000/$10 = 100 Shares of B, and your dividend would still be $100 (100 Shares x $1 dividend).

Therefore it does not matter the price of the stock.
Understand ?

By: Frugal

Frugal — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 16:45:36 +0000

Adam,
Looks like you’re not reading my comments. I’ve said already that the absolute price of the share does NOT matter. If you have accounts at ANY of the online brokerage firms, you can buy 1 or 2 or 123 shares or any number of shares.

High yield always means high risk. So you don’t want to put too much of your money into the absolute highest yielding stocks either.

I will delete any of your future comments from now on.

adam — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 08:24:26 +0000

Frugal I would like the percentage also. what im trying to say can you help me find dividend stocks that pay alot of percentage but dont cost that much to get in at.

I dont have alot of money so I want to find some stocks that are cheap to buy but have an excellent pay out for dividends I should have said that before but did not. To you it might not matter but to me it does.

The more shares I can buy but still have an excellent pay out means alot to me and yes I would like the percentage as high as can be.

By: Frugal

Frugal — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 07:36:54 +0000

Adam,
I really mean to be polite to you. And I am just going to say this one last time.

It’s about PERCENTAGE. I don’t care about price, as long as on a percentile basis, it will return money. I will consider BRK/B that is trading at more than $3000 a share if it gives good return. Penny shares or not, it does NOT matter.

As for PGH, I don’t really care whether it’s $17 or $1700, as long as the dividend yield is decent at more than 7% (and the more the better of course).

By: adam

adam — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 07:22:07 +0000

hey I was checking out the ticker PGH they pay dividends every month. they pay 22 cents a share as of right now. When you do the math those stocks pay better then the ones I have that pay like a $1.00 or more a share. My stocks cost more and pay pretty good but your stocks cost less pay like a little and its true im better to buy more stocks that cost less and pay a little than to buy alot of stocks that cost alot but pay pretty good. PGH cost like 17.00 dollars now but I dont want to spend that much so can you help me find more stocks like PGH thats less than 17.00 and the dividend stock pays every month thanks

William,
Your question is a little bit confusing. My oil tanker stock (see comment #3) is a foreign company trading in the US. And not every foreign stock you will be paying foreign tax. At least I am not paying foreign tax on my oil tanker. I think it depends on the country & treaty.

I’m holding a little bit of oil tanker for diversification and also because of its very high yield (15.8% current yield). I’ve held this stock for so long that I can pretty much call this 12%+ dividend income as “passive” income, since I don’t follow this stock that often.

William C — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 17:52:37 +0000

Thanks Frugal, I did look into the date that I needed to purchase the stock for dividend, but never checked to see if it was credited to my account 2 weeks later. I did make a decent profit with the price fluxuation thought (just lucky).

If I don’t mind asking, could you please tell me the Pro’s & Con’s of the oil tanker stocks ? and do you think they’re better than the foreign stocks (even with foreign tax and everything)

P.S. Love your site, found it while surfing the net, a lot of useful information. Thanks for sharing !!

From Yahoo, PVX paid dividend on Nov 20 (but you need to buy the stock on Nov 17)
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=PVX

For that particular dividend, you need to wait until Dec 15 to get paid. 2 week waiting period is very normal for most stocks. Check out the actual announcement.
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/061109/0182496.html

Note that in the announcement it says you need to have the stock on Nov 22 (which is different from Nov 20). The reason is that you MUST buy & own the stock on Nov 17, to be recorded on Nov 22 as the official owner of the stock. I believe that it always take 3 business day. Nov 20 is called an ex-dividend date, which means that dividends have been paid.

Please correct me if I’m wrong in some of the details. It has been a long time since I looked into these tricky dates.

Adam T,

I’m not sure how to tell you this, but the price of stock whether it’s more than $100 or not really does NOT matter in most cases. It’s about PERCENTAGE of gain/loss (including all dividends) that you can get.

You can buy 1 share or 7 shares or 1000 shares, and it does NOT matter much. What matters more is how much money in total you put into a particular stock.

PVX – Canadian Energy Trust
Yields – 10-11%
Pays out monthly

I owned it for a month and never saw any distributions / dividents on my on-line account, any of you have this problem before ?

Not sure if it was because foreign stock or what ?

Ok lets move on and talk stocks .Im still looking for some real good dividend stocks to hang on and get in for a bit. Or get in and get out some what fast. Any help would be great a list of stocks $100.00 or less and some stocks that pay out quarterly or more than 4 times a year or 1 time a year would be fantastic.

Adam,
I don’t think you have thought your plan through. Chances are good that those stocks won’t split 2 or 3 times, and when they do split you know that the dividend and share price adjusts accordingly so that the net value of your holdings are unchanged.

What im trying to do is buy 200 shares of each of those stocks and keep those stocks for about 5 years
and sell them all those stocks will split one time for sure if not 2 or 3 times.
some of those stocks that I have 2 of them might split 2 times some might split 3 but all of them will split in some time. And when they do I will take the profit. then to Mexico ill go and I will have a mexican women made wait on me do my dishes do my laundry do this do that because thats what they get paid for. But before I go down to mexico im going to have my assets put in a bank and make 5% intrest or more a month yes a month I was in one of those banks the bank name is BEAL BANK and they pay 5.25 percent a month last time I checked. Its all about money management do whats best for you and talk to alot of rich people why they must be rich for a reason so why not gain that knowledge oh my god wow. Most people hang around rich people because they hand out money. I hang around rich people because they give me knowledge. person dies no more money for you ha ha. mr richy dies but I gained his knowledge i can get money anytime I want. take that you little sponges. and I would also be thankful for what he or she tought me Amen.

Adam,
You have a good list. And I have said that my list is in NO WAY complete. There are a lot of other good choices.

But you know it’s the PERCENTAGE yield that matters, not the absolute dividend dollar per share that matter. I can’t see any point in finding more than $1 per share, if it’s not high yield. If the stock trades at $200, $1 annual dividend is only 5%.

And even with average yield of 15%, at $60000, you will get $9000 a year in dividend. I am not sure how you can retire on $9000 income, unless your retirement is in a foreign country. To get $60000 dividend income, you will need to have $400000 all invested at 15% yield.

I can’t see how you can retire

Adam T. — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 21:43:58 +0000

hey check out these dividend stocks people im in these. They pay more than one dollar a share and they
pay every quarter svae up $60,000 and you could say your 80% retired and when they split its even better
you can then say your fully retired. I dont know about you i dont want to work for the rest of my life.

PCU as of right now $1.00 a share
BPT as of right now $1.67 a share
GNI as of right now $2.80 a share
