Avoiding Dividend Cuts

[Luck_Club]

Juicy yields will begin to appear as the market continues to slide to lower levels.

For those who have bottom fished in the past, what metrics do you monitor to avoid buying a company with a juicy yield only to find they cut the dividend shortly after you buy??

Having a very heavy weighting in cash yielding 2%, I'm seeing good companies on sale yielding 5-6%, I'm even seeing reits yielding 14% SNH is one I nibbled on recently because the financials look good.

ie PE below 2

Keep up with the Champions and Contenders is one way? There is PDF and Excel with data at:

The DRiP Investing Resource Center - DRiP Information, Tools, And Forms

Not a guarantee, but you may be better off with a Champion.

P/E's are pretty meaningless in regards to REITS
