Sivy on Bank of America – Good Dividend

As you may already know, I enjoy Michael Sivy’s column over at Money.com. He has a long term view of the stock market and tends to focus on the bug, dividend increasing companies that I favor.

What Sivy emphasizes about the stock today is the low P/E ratio and the high dividend yield:

The bottom line is that investors buying Bank of America today not only get a very cheap stock. The price is likely to be supported by the current low 10.7 P/E ratio, based on estimated earnings for 2007, and also by the fat 4.3 percent yield.

I would have to agree. According to my data, the average P/E ratio for the stock over the last 10 years has been 12.2, which puts the current P/E of ~10 lower, and therefore cheaper on a historical basis. In addition, the overall average dividend yield has been `3.6%. The current yield of ~4.3% suggests the stock is somewhat cheaper by historical factors. If an investor is comfortable with the fundamentals going forward, then this stock may be worth a look – escpecially with a nice fat dividend yield like this!

    I’m glad other still think Bank of America is a good buy / undervalued. It’s my single largest holding, and I’ve been buying a little more BAC stock every month with a DRiP for a few years now.

    I believe when I first bought some shares in 1998, it was also yielding around 4%. Adjusted for its one split, BAC has almost tripled their dividend since then. Nowhere have I seen the effects of reinvesting and compounding more dramatically in my portfolio than in BAC.

Get Out of debt

If you're stuck in debt and trying to get caught up, don't resort to payday loans. They almost always have high interest rates, so if you don't pay them back immediately you will just end up in even more debt. In these tough times, it's better just to learn how to be more frugal with your money.
