Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Fifth Week of September

Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend. This technique generally works only in bull markets, and can work in flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the technique during bear markets.

In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks.

WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, and the yield.

Canadian Imperial Bank of Comm.	CM	9/26/2016	4.9%
Cypress Semiconductor	CY	9/27/2016	3.7%
Agrium	AGU	9/28/2016	3.9%
BancFirst Corp	BANF	9/28/2016	2.2%

A Capitalist’s Lament: How Wall Street Is Fleecing You and Ruining America

Rarely have I found a non-fiction book that is a page-turner, but the book A Capitalist’s Lament: How Wall Street Is Fleecing You and Ruining America is one of those books. The author, Leland Faust, goes into detail about how investors are being taken by Wall Street.

Don’t get the author wrong. He is not anti-capitalist, he is what I would call pro-moral capitalist (which is also how I would describe myself, by the way). He is just bringing to light all the ways that the average person is being taken advantage of, on a financial basis.

Although I am familiar with what he covers on a general basis, the author covers the specifics, everything from over charging to fraud. For example, Chapter 2, called Big Is Not Beautiful, is significantly devoted to Goldman Sachs. He points out 37 different instances of fines, security violations, and other issues of the firm.

Examples of some of the chapters that I found the most interesting are:

Fees and Sleaze: Welcome to the World of Hedge Funds

Stupid Predictions and Constant Hype

Myopia: Short Term Trading

Leveraging Yourself to Death

Fortunately, Faust has a resolution, which he covers in the last chapter, Protecting Yourself and Fixing the Wall Street Mess. If you are looking for a great Wall Street expose, I highly recommend A Capitalist’s Lament: How Wall Street Is Fleecing You and Ruining America.

Exclusive Interview with Richard Schmitt the Creator of the Rebalance App

The following informative interview was provided by Richard Schmitt, author of the book 401(k) Day Trading and creator of the app Rebalance, which provides guidance on specific fund transfers that facilitate more frequent rebalancing or 401(k) day trading of retirement savings based on current stock market conditions.

Richard Schmitt is an Adjunct Professor teaching retirement planning at the Edward S. Ageno School of Business at Golden Gate University in San Francisco. Putting into practice his background as a numbers guy in a world looking for the means to retire, he developed "401(k) Day Trading" as a better way for individuals to manage their retirement savings in an uncertain market. Lately his word has been spreading through features on Fox Business, ReutersTV, TheStreet, Business Talk Radio, KMA, and KCBS, among other media outlets.

Having worked in the retirement plan industry since the origin of 401(k) plans, Mr. Schmitt has assisted companies in the design, implementation, and administration of 401(k), 403(b), 457, and other retirement savings plans for over 25 years. Before joining academia, he managed corporate compensation and benefit plans for a couple of the largest U.S. companies based in Silicon Valley. He also served other Fortune 500 companies' retirement plans as a senior consultant at major international consulting firms. He is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, a Member of the American Academy of Actuaries, and an Enrolled Actuary.

We cover a lot in this interview, including:

• How 401k Day Trading works
• Comparing daily rebalancing to quarterly or annual rebalancing
• The superior performance of trading daily
• How the Rebalance app works
• The difference between time-based rebalancing and 401(k) day trading

A Thirst for Desalination Stocks

Salt Island Mono Lake

Availability of water is a major concern for all the states in the southwest, after going through a major drought. But it is not just a problem in the US; water scarcity is a problem for many countries around the world, especially in the Middle East. Water desalination, also referred to as desalinization and desalinisation, could be one of the leading industries in the next decade. It is the process of filtering out salt and other mineral from salt water so that it can be used for human consumption.

Some major companies, such as Siemens (SI) and General Electric (GE) have water desalination divisions that are only a small part of their businesses, but there are other companies which are more of a desalination pure play.

According to our list of water purification and desalination stocks here, there are over a dozen companies involved in the treatment of water, and several of them have specifically targeted desalination.

Consolidated Water Co. Ltd (CWCO) is one of the purer plays in the sector. It operates seawater desalination plants and other water services in the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Belize, the British Virgin Islands, and Bermuda, using reverse osmosis technology to convert seawater to drinkable water. The stock trades at 24 times trailing earnings and 19 times forward earnings. The company pays a decent yield of 2.4%. It has been paying quarterly dividends since 1996.

Tetra Tech (TTEK) designs and builds desalination systems that use seawater, brackish water, and reclaimed wastewater sources to help increase water supply, and has been designing desalination plants in Florida since the 1990s. It also designed the first California desalination plant, the Corona Temescal Desalter. The stock has a forward price to earnings ratio of 17, and sports a yield of 0.9%. The company has increased its dividend every year during the last three years.

To see an Excel list of all the stocks involved in desalination and purification, which can be downloaded, sorted, and updated, go here.
