A Dual Focus on Valuation and Yield Is the Best Way to Combat Changes in Future Dividend Tax Rates

by

With a potential hike in the dividend tax rate just around the corner, there is no more important time than now for income investors to evaluate their existing portfolio holdings to determine whether they are well-positioned for a higher-tax environment. Assuming there are no changes to the current trajectory, the top dividend tax rate is expected to rise to 39.6% next year (up from 15% currently), and the highest-income earners will see a Medicare surtax on top of that.

Boeing Reports Solid Third Quarter; Commercial Aerospace Backlog Remains Strong

by

On Wednesday, aerospace giant Boeing (click ticker for report: ) reported excellent third-quarter results that showed solid backlog trends and improving cash flow.

Excluding pension expense, earnings per share advanced 5% during the quarter. We continue … Read more
