From The Editor
y daughters elementary school is in one

of the nations best public
school districts, and theres
no doubt that shes getting
a solid education.
At the same time, Ive noticed an
ever-increasing emphasis on numerical test scores and complex layers of
performance-based incentives.
The resulting problem: Rather
than cultivating a lifelong love of
learning for learnings sake, the emphasis is being placed on immediate
answers and short-term results.
A lot of investors have the same
issue. They judge their success on
a monthly basis or a handful of
trades. And instead of trying to
understand WHY certain strategies
or investments are working, they
merely want to know WHAT to buy
at any given point in time.
In this newsletter, I try my best
to give you both: Not just solutions
to use right away, but also tools
and explanations that help you
find your own answers and grow
your overall understanding of the
investment world.
Sincerely,

Will They? And If So, When?

Trying to decode the Federal Reserves latest thoughts on interest rate hikes
Most investors care about interest
rates, but as income-focused investors we REALLY care. An uptick in
rates will not only create new opportunities in long-forgotten assets,
it will also impact all the investments
we already own.
Thats what makes the Federal Reserve so frustrating. Its bad
enough that theyve been conducting the worlds largest monetary
experiment for a decade now. Whats
worse, they seem to relish in the
process of manipulating investors
through all types of subtle language
shifts and innuendo.
Take Chairwoman Janet Yellens
recent testimony before a congressional committee. In her remarks
before the Senate Banking Committee, Yellen said Fed policymakers
would first remove the word patient from their standard language
about how theyll approach future
rate hike decisions. Then, she said
they would enter a phase where rate
hikes could come on a meeting-bymeeting basis.
The irony, of course, is that by
delivering this information Yellen
has already further shifted the markets perceptions!
Yellen also resisted the idea
that Congress should gain further
power over the Fed or its process.
She said pending legislation that
would allow the Congressional
Stock Screen | New Buys |
Budget Office to review the Feds

monetary policies would politicize
monetary policy and make the Fed
less effective beyond a shadow of
a doubt.
Okay, so what will happen and
when?
Based on signs of strength in
the labor market and other parts
of the U.S. economy, the Fed does
seems far more likely to finally move
its interest rate target up for the first
time in many years. I expect June
to be the earliest it happens, but
we could also see a few additional
months of waffling if inflation
measures remain tame or global
economic indicators worsen.
At this point, I continue to
recommend avoiding longer-dated
bonds especially U.S. Treasuries but I dont see any reason to
reduce your exposure to other ratesensitive investments.
Will the Fed Finally Raise Its Target Rate?

Two Higher-Yielding
Stocks to Target Now
Were pretty well loaded up
on stocks in the Dividend Superstars model portfolio, but Dads
Income Portfolio now has way too
much cash sitting by idly. And
while I dont believe the broad
stock market represents a compelling value at current levels,
I think we should put a little
money to work in two higheryielding blue chips that can help
juice our long-term total returns.
My first choice is Verizon.
As far as Im concerned, this
company is more like a utility than
a technology company. And arguably the services it provides have
become as indispensible as electricity or water. In fact, I know a lot of
folks who would rather go without
heat than cell phone service!
Verizons business goes far
beyond cell phone towers, of
course. The company provides
broadband internet connections,
cable television signals, and fiber
optic network services.
More importantly, the vast
majority of these things are provided as subscriptions quite
often under long-term service
contracts. That gives Verizon
large, relatively predictable cash
flows ... which then find their
way to shareholders through
large dividend payments.
At current prices, those dividends amount to an annual yield
of roughly 4.5% -- a solid return
by any reasonable measure.
What about the stocks valuation? Its currently dab smack in
New Buys
Dads Income
Dividend Superstars
the middle of its 52-week range

of $45 to $54 a share, and trading at about 20 times Verizons
earnings over the last 12 months.
While that doesnt suggest
a ton of immediate upside, it
also means we are unlikely to
experience a substantial drop ...
especially when you consider the
fact that VZ has a beta of just
0.24. In other words, it typically
moves at about 25% of the broad
markets pace in either direction.
At the end of the day, I think
of VZ as more of a bond than
a stock a reliable investment
that will hand us well-supported
income without a lot of drama.
So Im telling Dad to buy 100
shares of VZ at $50 or better
and I suggest you consider doing the same.
In addition, I also think now is a
good time for us to add a little more
exposure to the energy sector.
Yes, I know theres still a very
healthy debate raging over the
future direction of oil prices.
But if were looking to put more
money to work in a stretched
stock market, I think its a lot
better to target a beaten-down
sector ... especially one that offers good income possibilities.
My pick? ConocoPhillips.
Like Verizon, the stock is
currently yielding more than 4%.
Of course, its business prospects
are far less certain given the
aforementioned drop in crude.
Heres why I think its worth
buying now ...
While I dont personally
expect it to happen, lets assume

oil stays extremely depressed

for a while. ConocoPhillips has
already slashed its 2015 capital
expenditure budget by more
than 30% from last years level,
yet it still plans on getting a
slightly higher amount of oil out
of the ground.
Although the company will
likely have negative cash flow
this year and next, it aims to
return to equilibrium by 2017.
Until then, it has expressed a
strong commitment to dividend
payments and will support them
through current cash on hand
as well as additional borrowing
if necessary.
Thats obviously less than
ideal, but the point is that things
are well supported for a couple
years at least. And the shares
wouldnt be priced like they are
right now if everything was going swimmingly, right?
Now, lets imagine a world
where a barrel of oil returns to
$70, $80, or even higher: Not
only does COPs immediate
financial picture get a heck of a
lot brighter, but its quite likely
we will see its shares return to
where they were five months ago
the $80s.
That gives us upside of
about 15% to 20% on top of
the solid dividend payments,
which is a possibility worth
pursuing. So Im telling Dad to
buy 50 shares of COP at $70
or better. If we see things head
lower from here, we will then
consider averaging into the position or adding another similar
name to diversify further.

Ring the Register

on Whole Foods
We dont set out to get big,
fast double-digit gains in this
portfolio. But were very happy
when they show up!
Take Whole Foods, which
was a new recommendation
less than eight months ago.
After a big surge in November,
the stock has continued rising
sharply especially after the
company posted very solid sales
and earnings results for the first
quarter of fiscal 2015.
Including a few modest
dividend payments, Im now
tracking a total return on WFM
of 47% in our real-life portfolio.
For some contrast, the broad
market is up about 9% over the
same holding period.
Now, do I think Whole
Foods can continue going up
from here? Absolutely!
But am I willing to risk the
other outcome after such a
strong run up in such a short
period of time? No, especially
not when the dividend payments
are just mediocre.
Therefore, Im now telling
Dad to take his profits off the
table by selling all his WFM
shares at the market.
Youre free to do whatever youd like in your own
account, but I recommend
considering the same step if
youre sitting on a similar gain
right now.
Meanwhile, Lorillard has
been another strong performer
New Buys
Dads Income
Dividend Superstars
recently hitting a new alltime high after a number of

positive developments.
For starters, the company
beat analysts expectations
reporting a 1.4% increase in
sales during the fourth quarter
of 2014 and a 16.4% gain in
per-share earnings to $0.91.
For the full year, profits rose
to $3.28 a share from $3.15
in 2013.
On top of that LO hiked
its dividend payments by 7% to
$0.66 per share. The first inceased payment should hit our
account on March 10th.
Most importantly, Lorillard
said its $25-billion merger with
Reynolds is still on track after
shareholders approved the deal.
Were up about 33% since
adding the stock to our portfolio
less than a year ago.
In less positive news, our
energy investments Enerplus and Ensco remain
depressed. Not much has really changed since the update
I gave you last issue, though
oil has started to bump back
up in price a bit. Were simply
going to stay patient at this
point collecting dividend
payments and waiting to see if
crude oil snaps back as hard as
it fell.
Our other big laggard, The
Female Health Company,
reported solid results for its
fiscal first quarter. The company said revenues came in at
$6.65 million vs. $6.69 million
for the same period a year ago.

While net income was just $0.03

per share, vs. $2.07 a year ago,
higher income taxes were partly
to blame.
The company is still in the
process of fulfilling a large order
from its Brazilian distributor and
is also taking additional steps to diversify its business going forward.
So Im willing to let the position
sit as is while things play out.
In other earnings news, Exelon saw revenues rise 17.7% to
$7.3 billion in the fourth quarter
of 2014, up from $6.2 billion for
the same period a year ago. Net
income was $18 million, reflecting a 32.6% increase in expenses
and unfavorable weather at the
companys subsidiaries.
For the full year, Exelons
revenues increased 10.2% to
$27.4 billion while per-share earnings dropped to $1.88 from $2 in
2013. For 2015, Exelon is expecting adjusted per-share earnings in
the range of $2.25 to $2.55.
Brooks Automation said
its revenues increased 4.8% to
$122.7 million in the first fiscal
quarter of 2015. The company
posted a per-share loss of $0.04
vs. a $0.05 profit a year earlier.
Mercks sales fell a bit in
the fourth quarter of 2014,
both because of patent expirations as well as the effect of
a strengthening dollar. The
good news is that per-share
profits jumped sharply from
just $0.26 in 2013 to $2.54 in
2014. Even excluding the big
gain from the sale of its overthe-counter drug business,

per-share earnings were $0.87,

above analysts expectations.
For the full year, Merck saw
revenues come in at $42.2 billion,
just a bit lower than the $44 billion
recorded in 2013. Net income for
the year rose to $11.9 billion, or
$4.07 per share, from $4.4 billion,
or $1.47 per share, in 2013.
Procter & Gamble said
revenues came in at $20.2 billion
in the second fiscal quarter of
2015 vs. $21 billion for the same
period a year ago. Net income
was $0.82 per share compared

to $1.24 a year earlier. Again,

a stronger dollar was partly to
blame because P&G sees the
majority of its sales come from
outside the United States. Going
forward, the company said it will
raise prices and cut costs to help
mitigate the effect of this currency headwind.
Republic Services saw
sales rise 3.9% to $2.225 billion in the fourth quarter of
2014, up from $2.1 billion a
year earlier. Fourth-quarter
profits were $0.14 per share,
down from $0.65 in 2013.
However, that 2014 result
included a $0.32-per-share

charge for future cleanup of

a landfill.
For the full year, RSGs revenues were up 4% to $8.8 billion
and earnings were $1.53 a share.
The company said profits should
rise to a range of $1.98 to $2.04,
not including the effect of the
pending Tervita acquisition.
Last but not least, Sysco reported its results for the second
fiscal quarter. Revenues gained
7.5% to $12.1 billion while profits came in at $0.27 per share.
With restaurant sales ticking up
because of lower gas prices, I
expect SYY to see more growth
in upcoming quarters.

More Gains Piling

Up; Take Three Off
the Table!
Apple said its revenues
increased 30% to $74.6 billion
in the first fiscal quarter of
2015, while net income rose
38% to $18 billion, or $3.06
per share. The strong performance was attributed to record
revenues from iPhone and Mac
sales. iPhone sales were further
bolstered by AAPLs partnership with China Mobile, which
helped Apple increase its
revenues from China a staggering 70%.
None of this should surprise you, since its precisely
what Ive been forecasting all
along. Still, its pretty amazing
to see this position up more
than 111% since my initial
buy recommendation in the
summer of 2013.
At this point, I think its
wise to grab the gains and step
to the side for a while. So I
recommend placing a good till
cancelled order to sell all your
Apple shares at the market.
Separately, China Mobiles
stock has been rising very
sharply, too.
Apple (AAPL)
New Buys
Dads Income
Dividend Superstars
Youll remember that I

recommended initiating a new
position in our December issue.
Since then, the stock is up about
17%. Not bad for two months!
In fact, I think you should
also aim to take that outsized
gain off the table because this
stock can be rather volatile.
So I now recommend placing
a good till cancelled order to sell
all your China Mobile shares at
$69 or better.
Finally, as I recommended
for Dads Income Portfolio,
I think you should consider
bagging your gains on Whole
Foods. Not because the shares
dont have more long-term
upside, but simply because this is
good risk management.
My specific recommendation:
Sell all your Whole Foods stock
at the market.
And while were on the
topic, Id like to take a deeper
look at ALL the open recommendations Ive made for this
portfolio since 2013.
Its actually pretty amazing:
In addition to the three stocks
mentioned above, we also have
big open gains on Connecticut
Water Services, International
Paper, Target, and even Valero,
my other most recent recommendation. On the losers
side, we have just Suncor and
Wilshire Bancorp.
Obviously, broad market
action has been working in our
favor. But most of these positions have been outperforming
on a relative basis, too!

Now, lets run down some

quick earnings briefs
Altria saw revenues rise
2.9% to $6.3 billion in the
fourth quarter of 2014, up from
$6.1 billion for the same period a year ago. Net income for
the fourth quarter more than
doubled to $1.2 billion, or $0.63
per share.
For the full year, Altrias
revenues increased slightly, while
net income rose 11.8% to $2.56
per share. For 2015 the company
is projecting per-share earnings
between $2.75 and $2.80.
Abbott Laboratories said
revenues increased 5.6% to
$5.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014 while per-share
profits jumped 54% to $0.59
per share. Most of the strength
came from ABTs nutrition and
diagnostics businesses.
For all of 2014, Abbott
saw revenues increase slightly.
Per-share earnings were $1.49

Suncor Energy said its

full-year revenues rose slightly
to $40.5 billion in 2014, and net
income hit $2.7 billion. While
the company is struggling with
lower oil prices, its still a solid
long-term holding.

revenues were basically flat year over
year, but net income soared to $2.79
per share vs. just $0.21 in 2013.
WGL Holdings saw revenues rise 10% to $749.2 million
in the first fiscal quarter of 2015,
beating Wall Street estimates.
Net income skyrocketed 243%
to $63.8 million, or $1.28 per
share. To top things off, WGL
hiked its dividend 5% the 39th
consecutive annual increase.
Wilshire Bancorp said
revenues gained 13.8% to $47.3
million in the fourth quarter of
2014 while profits jumped 48%
to $0.20 per share. Strong financial performance this quarter
was helped by a 47% increase
in loan originations. For all of
2014, Wilshire saw earnings gain
30% to $0.75 per share.
Lastly, Valero Energy saw
fourth-quarter revenues drop to
$27.9 billion from $34.4 billion
a year earlier. Net income was
$2.22 per share vs. $2.38 in 2013.
Those results were still ahead of
estimates because higher product
margins helped Valero offset
lower oil prices.
For the full year, Valero saw
revenues of $130.8 billion vs.
$138.1 billion in 2013. Profits
jumped 33% to $3.6 billion, or
$6.88 per share.
