What is misleading about the news item "BB&T: Dividend Dynamo or Blowup?" at Motley Fool Fri 11:46AM EDT?
Dumm,
My indicators say that the market continues down, though, there are some screaming buys out there.
BBT at 23 and change seem very cheap to me. I loaded up on puts just in case this market melts.
Next week should be interesting.
Not yet it is going lower. Our brilliant people in govt cannot reach any concrete decisions.
What a bloodbath. My gut says, buy some more, and I may, but, I will keep my puts, too. BTW, my gut is not always right. Any thoughts?
Bove said buy above 26, boy what a bad call.
Panic is a strange thing, guess its time to buy.

Hope you guys didn't get caught long.
You seem to have tight rules until they apply to you, lols.
We (oui)? Not me frenchie. Maybe you and Yahoo. I quoted my source and told you how it was calculated.
I am not the one who didn't know how to calculate per cents.
According to Morningstar, ttm is 1.23 basic.

Looks like the article was right.
We are both wrong.
divi/eps=payout ratio

What am I doing wrong DH?
Correction:

Is this right?
