Apple Joins The Dividend Club - Finally!

Well, it's official. Apple, stock ticker AAPL, will begin paying a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share. Although many expected a higher dividend, such as myself, beggars can't be choosers, right? As you can tell from my two prior Apple posts (AAPL - Apple, It's time to pay a dividend & Apple iPhone 4s, iCloud and Siri - It's dividend time!), I thought Apple should spend a large percentage of their cash on hand in the form of dividend payments to their loyal shareholders. With that 90 plus billion dollars in the bank I felt Apple should have paid a gigantic one time dividend. At least $50.00 to $100.00 per share would have been nice and then a quarterly dividend of 3% to 5% ($17.00 to $29.95). It just makes sense!

Apple has doubled 5 times over the last decade and is regularly closing in on $600.00. Apple used to sell for $8.78 back in 1987, $13.53 back in May of 2004, just think if you got in on this puppy back then! Don't beat yourself up too much. AAPL still has plenty of room left to grow and could very well perform a stock split. I do not believe in pumping stocks so their share prices become unrealistic, but AAPL could hit $1,000 per share over the next 3-5 years if they continue to product innovative, useful products.

Feel free to watch these hand picked videos below from YouTube which discuss this very topic. Long live Apple!

Apple Should Pay A Dividend

With 90 billion dollars in the bank I believe Apple, stock ticker AAPL, should start thinking about paying their loyal shareholders a hefty dividend. Not just a 2% dividend yield, but a gigantic one time dividend, then a quarterly dividend of 3 to 5%. Apple has doubled 5 times over the last decade and is closing in on $600.00!

I am a huge fan of Apple. They will continue to develop futuristic products for the Common Man's needs. Now is the time to congratulate their investors with a hefty quarterly dividend. Sorry to sound redundant but if  AAPL can create the iPad 2 then why can they not unload some of their profits to the loyal shareholders? Now is the time!

Some are saying AAPL will hit $1,000.00, check out this YouTube video below. Also, an additional video about AAPL with the argument Why an Apple dividend would be bad for investors?

What are your thoughts? Pay a dividend or continue to hoard their cash? A dividend would be an excellent way to reward shareholders, who ultimately are most likely consumers of their products as well.

Apple iPhone 4s, iCloud and Siri - It's dividend time!

It's pay day for Apple shareholders. Other than AAPL rising $13.57 yesterday October 14th, 2011, I strongly believe a dividend is in the works. Apple was a cash cow prior to the release of iPhone 4s, iCloud and Siri. Look for their cash on hand to rise especially during the next few quarters. With these great new products and features Apple will be on top for many, many years, maybe as long as the rest of our working careers.

It is great to buy the latest Apple products, but its more important to invest in AAPL to fully fund the technology sector, and quite honestly retail sector of your Roth IRA stock portfolio. Apple stores are popping up everywhere and they are about to take over!

While we wait for a dividend, let's enjoy the stock increases and continue to hold long term. That may be an simple stock analysis, but for some it is very easy to hit the SELL button after yesterday's rally.

AAPL - Apple, It's time to pay a dividend.

It's time! Time for Apple to start paying shareholders a dividend. Preferably at least 2-3% dividend yield. Like Jay-Z once said, "The streets are talking" Click on any of these articles below and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I am a huge fan of Apple. They will continue to develop futuristic products for the Common Man's needs. Now is the time to congratulate their investors with a hefty quarterly dividend. If AAPL can create the ipad2 (see video below) then why can't they unload some of their profits to the loyal shareholders? Now is the time!

Windows 8: Microsoft Corporation - MSFT

Microsoft Corporation, stock ticker MSFT, should be in your Roth IRA stock portfolio. I know Apple, stock ticker AAPL, has taken most of MSFT's market share and shine, however MSFT currently pays their shareholders $0.16 per share, which at today's stock price of $27.12 is a 2.36% yield. AAPL will never have 100% of the PC/mobile device market share. Additionally, MSFT's market cap is 227 billion. Compare that statistic to Apple's share price $400.50, market cap of 371 billion. I believe MSFT is an undervalued, growth company even though they are a widely held institutional stock, as well as a known company through out the world.

MSFT is engaged in developing, licensing and supporting a range of software products and services. They also design and sell hardware, and delivers online advertising to the customers. Their products include operating systems for personal computers (PCs), servers, phones, and other intelligent devices. MSFT also designs and sells hardware, including the Xbox 360 gaming and entertainment console and Xbox 360 accessories. Its cloud-based computing services include Bing and Windows Live Essentials suite. Stick that on your power cord!

In conclusion, in all the Apple hysteria over the last few years, the masses seem to have forgotten that MSFT is a big time technology player. Their financials look great with plenty of cash and a dividend that they can afford to pay and afford to increase! Pick up some MSFT on Monday and hold for your retirement years.

Note: I own a Windows 7 laptop and love my Apple iphone and ipod.
