Default Re: Official - Will The Fed Cut Rates? on 9/18 Discussion

Jim- a dividend is a lousy reason to buy a stock. I don't know ETM but popped into yahoo payout rate: 608% - seems sustainable. If you're stuck on using a stock tracker to make your decisions, at least filter for companies w high return on equity rather than high dividends ( you're just creating more taxes for yourself, instead of letting all of the companies earnings compound tax free)
