The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

  • NNN REIT
  • Omega Healthcare Investors
  • Southwest Gas Holdings

Examples:

  • The author claims that dividends have contributed approximately 32% of the total return for the S&P 500 over the past half-century (1973-2023). However, this statement is misleading as it does not take into account other factors such as capital appreciation and market conditions.
  • The author claims that dividend stocks delivered an annualized return of 9.18% over the same timeline compared to non-payers (3.95%), but again, this statement is misleading as it does not provide context for these returns or compare them to other investment options such as bonds or index funds.
