Money Matters Update December 3, 2012

Marc's Notes,

The money class was great and went off without a hitch. Thanks to all who
attended.

There is now an all woman's class getting scheduled for January 22nd through
the See Jane Do Woman Collective. More information on that soon. Class 2 is
being set up and we will advise on that too. Those that attended ANY class
get half off meeting with me.

Meanwhile follow MARC CUNIBERTI on Twitter for daily updates on the market.

Now as we wait for the fiscal cliff negotiations, here is  some information
on special dividends being paid this month! Speaking of dividends, many of
our stocks will be paying special payments this month in the form of capital
gains as well. Look for a payment in December and January. Stocks will also
DROP in price when they pay the dividend and that is normal. Xmas comes to
your pocket book! Now read on about special dividends. Many of you will get
them if you own stocks from my Super Dividend Payers List available on the
site and its not too late to get in on these payments so get the list if you
like to see some dividend paying stocks I own.

A host of companies have announced special dividend distributions in the
last month or so and I expect more to do so before the end of the year.

A dividend is a payment from a company to anyone who owns a share in that
company and usually occur regularly throughout the year. A special dividend
is a one time payment at the company's discretion and can be in any amount
the company sees fit to pay.

These special dividends are happening now before the end of 2012 as tax
rates on dividends are expected to increase due to new tax IRS regulations
and companies want to give their shareholders as much money as they can
afford before the new rates kick in.

Company execs who make these decisions are usually also stock holders so
they have every incentive to announce these payments to catch the lower
rates they to will pay on their dividends.

This reaction by companies is expected as they seek to maximize shareholder
profits and paying dividends at lower tax rates qualifies as doing just
that.

Reactions by companies to government and tax policies is the markets way of
dealing with new situations and environments and it's a good example of what
happens when governments throw new wrenches into the works of a capitalistic
system.

In the infamous quote from Dick Cheney, there are known known's, known
unknowns and unknown unknowns and each action by authorities have expected
and unexpected reactions in the markets they affect.

Now a boatload of monies is being doled out by every company that can afford
it and these early payments could spell reduced payments in the future.
Indeed many analysts think dividend paying stocks, of which are many, could
be sold off in 2013 because of the new tax rates on payments and where that
money goes is anybodies guess.

With more and more places to hide and earn a decent return being gutted by
increasing and onerous tax policies investors will migrate on to the next
best thing.

I still think dividend stocks are a place to go with a portion of your
money. Stocks that pay are obviously better then stocks that don't. Only
time will tell if the new tax rates will stick in the negotiations going on
right now in Washington but for for now companies are being proactive and
not taking any chances.

Check the news wires on the stocks you own, you could be getting an
unexpected Christmas present in the form of a big fat unexpected dividend
check.
