[Premium] Is Apple worth it?

Edward Harrison — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:41:04 +0000

There has been a lot of chatter about Apple recently because of the monster move it has sustained in the first four months of the year. Bloomberg reports that Apple gained more than $250 billion in market share in just four months to April 9. That's more than IBM’s current value. Other impressive figures are being bandied about like: Apple is worth more than the entire retail sector combined, Apple is worth more than Microsoft, Google, Nokia, and RIMM combined, etc. But soon, growth will be all about the emerging economies

When will large cap tech stocks start paying dividends?

Edward Harrison — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 12:30:17 +0000

I would argue that this is evidence that these companies are wasting shareholder capital by plunking down for splashy acquisitions and large new capital investments that are not paying off. Cisco and Microsoft have huge cash balances waiting to be deployed. This money can go to buying back shares at inflated prices or making acquisitions of dubious value to shareholders. The right thing for these companies to do is not necessarily just restructure but change their mindset and accept that the glory days of top line growth are over. First and foremost this means increasing the dividend payout to match other sectors of the economy.

Bank of America Dividend Rejection Blows Apart Bailout Disclosure Argument

Edward Harrison — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:00:42 +0000

Today it was revealed that last week the Federal Reserve rejected Bank of America’s plan to increase its dividend from its token penny a share in the second half of 2011. Clearly, the Fed is sending a message that it does not believe the margin of safety is large enough to warrant such a payout

The bond guys PIMCO have decided to move into equities. They are doing so cautiously. I mentioned some comments they made by Gross regarding safe, high dividend stocks like utilities. At the time, he was suggesting almost all asset classes appeared to be overvalued on a long-term basis, which may explain his move into higher

Some banks not paying TARP dividends

Edward Harrison — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:13:17 +0000

A friend sent me the following article from USA Today: The U.S. taxpayers’ investments in smaller banks are increasingly at risk. In a sign that more banks are under great pressure from the recession, 34 financial institutions did not pay their quarterly dividends in August to the Treasury on funds obtained under the Troubled Asset
