Yield predictions?
Any guesses as to whether we hit 5% on the yield (50$ a share price). I would think this payout was somewhat thought out by the company so that they would not have to turn around and cut it within the next few quarters.
-
now is the time to strike past 57, yet the overall mkt won't help out!
-
yeah, but coming back much stronger today...& outperforming the market for a change...
-
you see....
-
it seems to toy with us, then quickly drops to lows each time....
-
Price action much more healthy today.
It is getting ready to ride... -
don't worry so much about the current yield as they are bound to decrease the dividends if we continue as we are.

I didn't get it. Did CLF say they pay dividend on dollar amount or in percentage? I don't invest in dividend stock, div is just an extra bonus if stock go my way, what's the point of gaining 4% dividend when your stock lost value say 10% or 20%.
- When company say they pay 4%/sh, if stock is $100 you get $4 divy, if it drop to $50 then you get $2 divy. Unless the company say they pay $4/sh in divy that's 4% but if CLF drop to $50 then you get 8% in divy. I heard of dividend increase but didn't pay attention if the company pay in percentage or by dollar amount.- 2 Replies to boatpeople007

You should probably invest in CD's.

Obviously you don't get it. A dividend is a fixed $ per share payout/distribution. In our case $2.50/year paid quarterly. This said, it is attractive to dividend seekers as it is yielding in excess of 4% at the moment. As has been mentioned, however, is that a dividend is only as good as long as it is payable. Hopefully this is nothing more than a bear raid. The stock is super cheap and continues to get cheaper and now can be a value trap. I am long and though a bit underwater in my long term position, I like its prospects. My 0.02.
