I found that out too, otherwise she and the others at Street Authority have good newsletters. Past performance is never a guarantee for future. Favorite for checking dividend history (and especially look up the EX-DATE) is http://www.dividendinvestor.com and always read the earnings releases and SEC filings!

I have been a subscriber to Pasternak’s letter for some time. She does come up with some good ideas occasionaly and does a lot of subscriber education, especially on some of her unusual investment picks. But for her mutual fund picks, I discovered that she calculates yield by adding capital gains distributions into the dividends. So the real yield on a lot of her stuff as reported by most mutual fund services , i.e., yield = only annual dividends divided by share price, can be a lot lower than she presents. So check out an independent source and the charts before you take the plunge.

what do you think about carla now after the repurchase news recently–?apparently, if you wish to continue to hold the shares, you must do so through a registered korean firm, or sell them at an approx, 12% discount to nav. appraently , Harvard used to own approx . 24% of the shares, andhas used board action to squeeze the discounts out of the funds, and then slowly sell the revalued shares.

Owned KF a few years back and was a good div. and capital gain for me. The taxes on dividends we’re very easily handed with Turbo Tax.
