Me da la sensación que compra KO independientemente de la cotización (solo yield>3%) con lo qual, comprar por comprar, mejor antes de la fecha ex-div.
Pues ha sido comprar KO y bajar un 4%… ahora está a precio interesante.

Si que suelo mirar la fecha exdividend, pero desde luego no es ni el primer criterio ni el principal.
Si con la empresa que quiero puedo cobrar un dividendo proximamente pues bien

Bueno, él va a por la pasta directamente. Se ha marcado objetivo de dividendos a cobrar y busca empresas que entren en los criterios:
1.- anuncio de aumento de dividendo: compra.
2.- Si hay varias: elige la del ex-dividend en ese mes (se asegura aumento del dividendo cobrado).
3.- Si ése mes no hay ninguna: busca empresa que le interese, tenga RPD > 3% y ex-dividend ese mes.
El tema de ex-dividend sí que lo aplico en ocasiones ya que hago compra mensual y entre dos candidatos igual de apetecibles me ayuda a decidir. Creo que @jordirp también la usa.

Portfolio de su hijo: Añade un CEF que aumentará a 2k para recoger algo más de dividendos y usarlos para comprar empresas.
Todo viene de una “explicación” que dio acerca del uso de hacía de CEF.
“I want to take a moment and talk about CEF’s and goals.
There has been discussion lately that people who invest a lot into CEF’s must simply not have enough income. I don’t know how they define “lot” but in any event, their conclusions are misguided and completely wrong. I could use the same argument with them regarding total return. Their portfolio values are so small, they need growth in order to buy yield at a later date to provide the income they need in retirement. … Is that any more logical than the argument they make about CEF’s?
I don’t need “clown analysis” I look for reasonable expectations on why people do the things they do. This older folk portfolio, that this blog is all about, is a portfolio that has a market value of $5 million and creates $200K in dividend income per year. Yet, this portfolio owns some CEF’s and I will add to them as time goes on just as I add to any other position in the portfolio.
Does this portfolio sound like it is small in value or lacking in income?
People may say, why own CEF’s at all then since the portfolio value and income levels are so high? I say why not? … I’m a goal oriented person to the point the Missus has nicknamed me “Mission Man” because when I set a goal I go after it and I try to get off to a fast start in doing so because you never know what obstacles you’ll face down the road that may slow down your progress. CEF’s help me get off to that fast start in creating more income and income is the primary objective.
To me, CEF’s are no different than owning bonds, equities, art, antiques, precious metals, classic cars or real estate. As long as you own quality and manage your assets accordingly, you can make money in any of these investment vehicles.
Just because Simply Safe Dividends doesn’t have a safety rating, or S&P doesn’t have a quality rating, doesn’t mean there aren’t any quality CEF’s to own. People have gotten so lazy and dependent on SSD and FAST Graphs that they don’t do their own work anymore. They seem to always be looking for short cuts.
Morningstar does rate CEF’s and I prefer those rated 4 and 5 stars, but I also look at the underlying assets of the fund. I’ll look at the top 25 holdings to determine if those assets are high quality or not. If I don’t understand what it is the fund owns, I won’t invest in them regardless of yields or discounts to NAV.
I have another portfolio I manage that is 7 figures in value with quite a bit of CEF’s but the goal isn’t to outperform the market, the goal is to have the distributions from those CEF’s to meet the RMD’s that come out every year so the principal owning the portfolio doesn’t have to liquidate positions to meet RMD’s. So far it has been working for 8 years.
I retired and was no longer dependent on a paycheck, it felt weird not having extra money to invest. There were no more 401K contributions with company matches. That left a hole in my investing plan that I thought I might be able to plug if I stopped and thought about it. CEF’s seemed to be the best answer. It immediately gave me extra money to invest and I still invest in something every month thanks to those distributions.
A number of retired people have admitted that in order to buy something, they have to sell something. I don’t have to do that. Instead of waiting and waiting and waiting for dividend growth from my normal equities, I get immediate larger amounts of cash to invest from CEF’s.
In every case, CEF’s were purchased to meet specific goals above and beyond immediate income needs. They are not being used for living expenses, they are being used to raise cash for investment. They are goal specific, and if they don’t meet your goals or your tolerance for risk , then stay the hell away from them, but don’t ostracize those who do invest in them, they may know more than you do about goal setting and how to achieve those goals more quickly.”
Y aquí su explicación de por qué compra un CEF para la cartera de su hijo.
“The taxable account portion of this portfolio does not have new cash going into it as new cash goes into the Roth. Therefore, the taxable account has to create its own cash for investment and that is done via dividends.
I don’t get as much dividends in cash as I could because I have all of the industrial’s set up on dividend reinvestment, so it takes a while to collect dividends from the other companies. I suppose I could buy 1 or 2 shares at a time, but I haven’t taken that approach yet, I usually collect $1,000 in cash before investment.
I am willing to lower that number to $500 now that there are no fees and the taxable account has $500 that can be invested.
I took that $500 moments ago and purchased the first CEF for this portfolio. I purchased 32 shares of PTY.
The goal is to build this up in size to $2,000 and then use those distributions to add to the other companies within the portfolio.
I chose PTY not only for its high yield of 9.9%, but it is a bond fund and bonds are generally less risky than equities. The management team of this CEF has done a nice job of using leverage, something I want to take advantage of, and through the portfolio management tactics this fund uses, they not only continue to show a steady stream of distributions but have made several special distributions each year as well. So, I’m willing to put some toes in the water and test it in this portfolio. The position is small enough to take the additional risk of investing in CEF’s and I think the payoff is worth that risk at this time. If the situation changes, I can always change with it.”
La otra compra ha sido O.
“I just made a purchase in the Roth portion of this account. I added to O.
I want O to be a full position, and a full position in this portfolio is $6K. The purchase today brings O up to $4.8K so I’m working on it. I could have waited a couple of more weeks for more cash to arrive but I will have missed the next ex-dividend date if I had, so I made the purchase today and locked in one extra dividend payment for the year from O.
That makes two purchases today, one in the taxable account (PTY) and one in the Roth (O).
The objective is 10% dividend growth for this year and I am behind on that objective, so I am focusing more on yield for these purchases.
PTY yields 9.9%
O yields 4.4%
I’d say these purchases support the primary objective.
That will be it for this month. It will probably be the middle of next month before I get to buy anything else in this portfolio.”

"People, one of the tactics I used, one of several, is that I have been focusing on companies that have announced dividend increases. Every company that announces a dividend increase, I then look to the nearest dividend ex-date and I make a purchase in them. In doing this, I am picking up an extra dividend this year, as opposed to waiting ex-date and miss the dividend.
For example: If you own T and VZ, both have announced dividend increases for this year and you can pick up an extra dividend if you purchase before 7/9, the ex-date. Wait a week or two after that and you get one less dividend payment this year. I also want more of D but D’s next ex-date isn’t until September. So, I can purchase T or VZ, picking up that next dividend now, and buy D later because buying D now doesn’t provide the extra dividend. I added to them last month before the ex-date in order to pick up an extra dividend.
Every little thing supports the overall objective of the portfolio. You have to put all of the pieces together to see the full picture. I have announced every tactic and move made. Some people were able to put the pieces together and get it. Others isolated the pieces and can’t see the full picture.
I think part of the reason people don’t understand how I can show so much dividend growth without having new money go into the account is because their objectives are different from mine. My focus is income, their’s is growth and income, or just growth, thus they can’t relate.
I don’t focus on growth, I simply assume it will be there longer term. Their growth expectations are probably higher than mine as well. I only expect 6% growth compounded over the next 10-20 years. Since our primary objective of having enough monthly income generated for retirement, and a 100% margin of safety on that income flow, we don’t need high expectations going forward. Any growth we get will suffice as long as the income stream keeps rising.
Others might have to chase growth because they don’t have enough for a comfortable retirement, they need growth now in order to buy income later. This portfolio has passed that stage.
Where some in retirement are content with 6% dividend growth, I’m content with 6% portfolio growth along with double digit dividend growth.
If others were to look at their own portfolio, with a focus on income while keeping an eye on risk, they too could have some handsome income growth numbers. It all depends on what your priorities are and what you are willing to do."

A mí esto de comprar antes del dividendo me parecen manías de viejo nada más. Pero no le digáis a Chowder que lo he dicho, que si no sacará lo de mis compras de telefónica y demás.

Por una vez estoy de acuerdo con Chowder pero solo por la situacion actual. Normalmente era partidario de comprar ex dividend y aprovechar la caida de precio pero si este año estamos sufriendo recortes de dividendo y queremos compensarlos en parte no me parece mala idea lo de intentar pillar todos los dividendos posibles con nuestras compras. Si, son manias de viejo y de querer a final de año haber cobrado mas dividendos que el año pasado.

Quizá Chowder me podría responder que manía sí, pero dentro del lado luminoso de la fuerza.
Otros hemos caído en la manía de promediar a la baja, no vender en pérdidas, etc.
Y quizá me podría responder que tiene todo tan mamado que toma mejores decisiones siguiendo sus añejas “manías” que mis bisoñas “decisiones racionales” .
Ahora bien, si necesitas cash, te sale más a cuenta comprar las mismas acciones por menos dinero ex- dividend que cobrar el dividendo menos la retención fiscal. Pero si a lo que jugamos es a meter dividendos en el Excel, pues es un hobby muy legítimo e irreprochable. Amén de entretenido.

Acerca de D.
En unas semanas podremos ver en qué ha quedado la cosa.
“I suppose it’s panic time for some, a “damn” moment for others, and certainly a scatter situation to find a replacement for others. Jubilation for anyone who trimmed or sold D in the recent weeks or months. In some cases that would be justified.
I don’t see this as a doomsday action as of now, there still needs to be more clarity going forward, but from where I sit, taking a short term dividend cut does not justify a move on my part. If anything, depending on whether D drops enough in price, it will be a buying opportunity for me.
There are those who thought D overpaid for the SCANA acquisition. The amount of debt actually lowered their dividend safety number if folks can recall. Others were upset over D lowering the dividend increase projections to 2.5% in the coming years. Starting next year they are projecting 6% annual dividend increases. That’s a positive from my perspective.
I actually see several positives coming from this as long as I am willing to endure a little uncertainty and a short term dividend cut.
People wanted D to deleverage the amount of debt they have. This move helps in doing that. There is $5.7 billion in debt that will be retired. … Isn’t that a good thing?
D is also going to start buying back shares with the other $3 billion from the sale of their gas storage business, and with less shares available in the market, the lower their dividend payout goes as they plan on lowering their payout ratio to 65% from 86%. … Another good thing? I think so.
One of the biggest risks to utilities is their power merchant business which causes them to wander away from their regulated business. It’s the regulated part of utilities that provides their strength as good long term investments, and I know this is a good thing.
A year and a half ago I stated that the owner of this portfolio needed $100K per year in dividend income to live comfortably in retirement. I also stated my objective was to get it up to $200K per year, and that has been achieved. I received a good bit of push-back on that strategy with people asking why it was necessary to have so much more income when it wasn’t needed. Well, this year has shown why.
Due to the fact that I built an income margin of safety, 100% above what is needed, I don’t have to react to every dividend freeze, cut or suspension. It’s not going to have an impact on quality of life. I can now sit tight, get some more information, and allow it to play out before I make any decisions as to whether I should trim, hold tight, or add more shares. I don’t need to make any knee jerk reaction decisions.
There are those who aren’t on schedule, or haven’t achieved their required income number yet, and it may be in their best interest to make a move. I don’t know, I don’t know their personal situation.
I can’t speak for others who read this comment, I can only speak for myself. I see D coming out of this stronger than they are today unless new information comes to light that would indicate otherwise.
So that’s where I stand. I encourage others to do what they think is best for them.
[…]
Where your focus is on the dividend, I have always said my focus is on the company story. Often times a company has to take a step back in order to take two steps forward. This is why I don’t have all of my money in one company.
And I don’t count myself as the typical dividend investor. The typical dividend investor is too focused on every company meeting some expectation they have of it. I focus on the portfolio as a whole, knowing that I will have to go through ups and downs with companies.
D after the dividend cut will still be yielding more than WEC, NEE and XEL, all companies that I own. So from a dollars and cents point of view, I will still be receiving more dividend income from D than I am with the other 3 companies. I can live with that.
As I said in my comment above, others need to do what they think is best for them. You know what you need to do for you, so do it.”

Me afecta el recorte. Pero coincido con él en que se reduce deuda, se recompran acciones y aún sigue dando un yield decente. ¿Podría ser un paso atrás para dar dos adelante? Yo ya anticipo que si se viene un desplome gordo de cotización venderé alguna put bastante abajo y a ver qué pasa.
No creo que sea una empresa para defenestrar aún, y menos para los que estamos pensando en reducir / eliminar exposición a las utilities patrias.
Ánimo!!!

Young folk portfolio.
“Let me comment on an important aspect of investing, one you don’t hear about or see much of here on SA and most media spots.
To me, when I buy stock in a company it’s a real ownership investment to me. From my perspective, I am a silent partner in an ongoing business. Therefore, the first thing I look at is what a company does for a living.
I’m not looking at yields, dividend growth streaks, share price, valuations or any other piece of criteria people screen for unless I like what a company does for a living. I look for the one thing no screen is set up to do and that is the company profile.
When I looked at JNJ a number of years ago, it was their product line, their diversity, and their importance to society. I bought into the company profile. Therefore, when the company got in trouble with recall after recall after recall of their drugs, that didn’t chase me out of my position with JNJ because their profile didn’t change for me, I still liked what they did for a living.
A number of years ago TGT was in trouble, credit card security breach, a bathroom policy that didn’t go over well, competition from AMZN, their Canadian stores all shut down, but those things didn’t affect the company profile for me. I still liked what they did for a living, I liked their marketing plan.
Both of these companies are up 100% or more for me since I decided to hold on to them as opposed to selling them when others were disappointed by the results or company decisions at the time.
I have other examples I can provide as well, but here’s my point. You may not get the results you want, in the time frame you’d like to have them, but as long as you like what a company does for a living, it makes it easier to bite the bullet and allow the company time to turn around. Every company goes through bad business cycles, they always have, they always will, but if you are going to hop in and out like a whack-a-mole game all the time, all you end up doing is chasing your tail and not building anything of significance.
One of the reasons you see older folks playing whack-a-mole is because they didn’t invest early enough in life to build positions to where they provided 1000% or 2000% returns and more. And those who were fortunate enough to have positions with those sort of results weren’t trimming or selling when valuations were high, the economy was bad, or the company was going through a bad business cycle. They were silent partners in an ongoing business, offering a service or product they like and the public used.
If you don’t understand what it is a company does, or you don’t like what a company does, then don’t own it because the yield is high or because others are buying it. Think of it as a business you would like to own and run if you had the cash to buy the company outright, then fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride. The seat belts are for the turbulence you are sure to face from time to time.
If you pick quality to begin with, you don’t have to play whack-a-mole, you continue to build your positions in both good times and bad. If you don’t have the confidence to buy more during bad times, then don’t buy the company to begin with. Own the type of companies you think could have a 50% correction and you wouldn’t mind holding and adding to them at those low levels. It’s as simple as that. The difficult part is getting your mind right. Getting your mind right requires a commitment. … Think about it! Then act upon it!”

Acerca de CVX: Otras que se apunta al gas natural.
"I was waiting to add to CVX when I started to see the weekly rig count rising, but today CVX announced the acquisition of Noble Energy. I like this move and it increases CVX’s access to natural gas, so as far as I’m concerned, I wanted to add now while share prices are low and the industry is facing headwinds, and the yield is around 6%.
Having been through a number of boom and bust cycles in the oil and gas industry, the strong always survive, and the strong start to gobble up the weak. CVX just took a bite in an all stock purchase and to me, that shows strength."

¿cómo cuentas los pozos que están funcionando? yo he estado buscando sitios que publiquen algún dato de este tipo en US y no he encontrado nada que mantenga una publicación mensual o continua,
Hola, perdonad que me meta en la conversación. Sólo un matiz, no son pozos produciendo, son taladros de perforación que están actualmente activos perforando pozos nuevos. Es decir, da una idea del nivel de inversión en exploración y producción de las compañias de gas y petróleo ahora mismo. Menos taladros, menos pozos, menos inversión, menor ratio de reemplazo de reservas. El número de rigs normalmente sigue con cierto retraso al precio. Ahora se refleja en el número de taladros los efectos de los bajísimos precios del crudo de la primera mitad de año. Os dejo algunos links que os puedan interesar.
