The Dairy Crest Group: A 4.5% Net Dividend Yield, A Production Expansion Under Way, And A Pension Surplus

The Dairy Crest Group (OTC:DRCSF) (OTCPK: DRCSY) is a British dairy company producing cheese, spreads and butter with milk sourced from a few hundred farmers. It's a business concept I do like, as people generally won't drink less milk (I would imagine kids are still being incentivized by their parents to drink sufficient quantities of milk), and even as an adult, I personally don't mind having a cup of warm milk before bedtime. A sore throat? Nothing a cup of hot milk and honey... Read more

Will Rising Rates Derail This 11.95% Yielding REIT?

We hear a common refrain all the time, especially in comment sections here on Seeking Alpha. Readers and investors are in a constant state of fear whenever interest rates rise.

FedEx Corporation: 1,200% Dividend Increase Already, with More to Come

Own FedEx Stock for Growing Dividends For the most part, FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) hasn’t been a staple for income investors.

AT&T: The Best Dividend Stock Of All Time Now Trades Cheap

I'm as surprised as anyone that the AT&T (T)-Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) deal was approved without any conditions. While I do believe that AT&T paid a premium for the acquisition, a deal with no conditions is a big win for AT&T. Common sense would dictate that the company now has more leverage to control pricing in the future, which could be bad for consumers and good for AT&T's bottom line. The stock price has not responded positively to this news, which I view as a great... Read more
