Cardinal Energy: When Hedging Goes Wrong And Jeopardizes The 8% Dividend Yield
Introduction Cardinal Energy (OTC:CRLFF) has been one of my favorite oil and gas producers in North America as the company has successfully navigated through some difficult waters when the oil and gas prices were very low. It did have to cut the dividend, but is still yield in an attractive 8% based on the monthly dividend of C$0.035 per share. However, the very cautious hedging program is now hitting the company’s income and cash flow statements as Cardinal is taking big losses on its hedges.
CJ data by YCharts
Cardinal Energy is a Canadian company, and its Toronto-listing (with CJ as ticker symbol) is providing you with a more liquid trading solution. The average daily volume in Toronto is approximately 400,000 shares per day, which is definitely better than the OTC... more

A 9% Yield, Strong 1.46X Coverage, Higher Guidance, Estimates Rising
Global Partners LP, (GLP), is a diversified energy company which we've owned since the Crash of 2008, when we were lucky enough to have bought it at firesale prices, at a time when the market was a very scary place, and some companies' distribution yields reached into the 20%-plus range. GLP was one of those companies.
Since then, we've held onto GLP, through its big growth phase, when it rose to the high 40's in 2014 and management steadily increased the distributions; through its downward spiral in the Crude Crash of late 2015-early 2016; when it reached the low teens, and management cut the distribution, (along with many other energy companies), by ~33%, as the yield began to approach ~20% again.
Pricewise, it has been an up and down ride, but we were able to... more

An 8.1% Yield REIT That Benefits From The 'Amazon' Trend
This report has been produced together with High Dividend Opportunities author Jussi Askola.
Lexington Realty Trust (LXP) is a diversified REIT in transition to becoming an industrial REIT, similar to Gramercy Property Trust (GPT), which we recommended to our investors and readers and sold after the buyout offer from Blackstone (BXMT).
Gramercy got bought out by Blackstone which saw an opportunity to buy a soon-to-be industrial REIT at a deep discount to peers. The least we can say is that, during 2018, GPT shareholders received high dividend payments for their holding period - and it turned out to be an investment that outperformed broad REIT indexes (VNQ) for the period.
Today, we believe that the same opportunity lies in Lexington Realty Trust. The company is well on... more

Homemade Apple Dividends Are 100 Times Bigger Than The 'Real' Dividends
I opened up my brokerage account today (August 17) to see that an Apple (AAPL) dividend had just arrived. Thanks for that, I'll take it. I'll take it even though it's just a scrap. That 'real' cash dividend is not going to take me very far. And speaking of Apple dividends taking us places, my regular readers might remember my Apple article that kicked off Summer and my new life work stage when I entered that semi-retirement stage. For the record, I have not taken a day off from working on cuthecrapinvesting.com, but call it retirement if you like. And of course, I've enjoyed being able to write a little more often on Seeking Alpha as well. That article was This Summer, Apple is taking me to the Island and Apple is picking up the tab.
In that article, I wrote... more

Colgate-Palmolive's Deceiving Dividend Growth Rate Makes Me Wonder
The market has been quite tough with "classic" dividend payers in the consumable goods sector. It seems that between tech and energy, investors find little interest in boring companies like Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL). CL's shares are down double digits (-12% as of August 16, 2018) while the rest of the market is showing another great year. What's wrong with CL? Is it time to buy it on the drop?
A few months ago, I thought CL was a great buy. We are talking about a dividend king (50+ year with a dividend increase), a company with a dominant position in a highly recurring product (toothpaste), and a strong presence in emerging markets ensuring future growth. Unfortunately, after reviewing its latest quarter, my interest toward CL faded a bit. Here's why.
