Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Back in March 2008, Dick Dahlberg, who managed the Columbia Dividend Income Fund at the time, told this magazine that the bank stocks investors craved for their high-dividend yields were going to have a hard time maintaining or increasing their dividends as their financial positions weakened. Instead, he favored stocks in health care, consumer staples and other sectors he felt had more reliable free cash flow to keep dividends afloat and to weather a market storm.
