Comments on: BCE – A Sell Gone Way Bad http://www.thedividendguyblog.com/bce-a-sell-gone-way-bad/ One Guy's Journey to Passive Income Through Dividend Investing Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:38:21 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Nabloid http://www.thedividendguyblog.com/bce-a-sell-gone-way-bad/comment-page-1/#comment-17679 Nabloid Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:49:20 +0000 http://www.thedividendguyblog.com/2007/06/30/bce-a-sell-gone-way-bad/#comment-17679 I like to invest for dividend growth as well, but I don't think investor's should skip good opportunities just because it doesn't fit with the main strategy they use. What if there are only so many good dividend growth stocks out there and the investor see's a few stocks that have outstanding growth but no dividends... should that investor skip the opportunity to take part in the capital gains because it doesn't fit with the dividend strategy? I love the dividend growth strategy, but I like a few other strategies too. I think an investor should choose a combination of the best from each world.

Although BCE was paying a healthy dividend (probably in the 4% range), its stock price was stuck around $25 and dividend growth seemed unlikely based on past performance. So all you were getting was the yield. I did an analysis on my site and I believe that private equity over payed for BCE. But I am not complaining as I was one of the investors that held on.

It's hard to sell and then have the stock go up on you but on the other hand, it's even worse to have the stock go up 10 fold and then drop back down to close to original purchase price. While I don't agree that one should always stick to their plan. If you see something that makes you feel the company is just heading down, it's time to get out.
