In an article entitled 'Dividends rise as directors remember the shareholders' Derek goes on to make the case for dividend investing. As we have been saying for some time, he points out the importance of dividends 'in these low interest rate days' He also points out that there are number of FTSE companies paying more than the rate of inflation! If only he used OptimizerMax....he would see a lot more than that. He points out that it is not just small companies that provide eye catching yields, but large ones. As you know, we do not look at small companies. We only look at large Caps. He quotes data from Capita registrars that we have already covered in recent weeks in terms of the scale of the payout by the big UK dividend payers.
Most importantly, he quite correctly point out 'This dividend round is not a short term fluke' and quotes Rob Burgemann at Brewin Dolphin, "Income returns have been surprisingly consistent over the past 10 years'
