Seeking Alpha has some brilliant income/retirement investors. I don't totally trust SA articles. It's known that some authors have been compensated to pump products. But the comments after the articles are often gold. Unlike the slobbering gambling addicts on IHUB, SA posters are often retired CPAs, CFAs, brokers, lawyers and business execs. Often older investors with real money and decades of experience.

I've owned Walgreen's (was WAG, now WBA) for years. However it's actually been my portfolio's worst performer in the past few years. It does have an excellent history of raising payouts.

The key test for ultra high div stocks is how well they did in recessions such as 2000 or 2009. Huge numbers of mREITs, BDCs, MLPs etc fail during tough times and are soon forgotten (except by those who lost money in them). That's called survivorship bias.

With mREITs especially, the longterm track record is grim.

gotta run now....

Nothing that pays more than market rate (about 1%-3%) is without risk.

I clearly understand that I have many of those too. all stocks can run into problems , but I agree the long term buy and hold of the 1-4% in solid companies is the best plan.

Our family Trust has held WMT and WBA since mid eighties went through all the splits and dividend drip. There looking mighty fine at the moment!

I do appreciate your commentary kinda keeps me in check! Also like this outfit you provided.

The possible termination date is in 2022, I think. You need to research a lot more than the flashy yield with these stocks.

I used to follow the MVO Oil Trust which was a nice money maker when oil was high. Virtually no one on IHUB realized its payout had an ending date. But that date was pretty far in the future. I'd expect MVO to slowly decline as its end nears.

I don't like the sounds of that? the next 3 months distributions have been declared so it won't be this year but I will have to look into that.
