Last Tuesday Procter & Gamble (PG) announced a 14.3% dividend boost -- its largest since A.G Lafley took the helm in 2000. The new payout of 40 cents a share, up from 35 cents, is on the common and on the Series A and B employee-stock-ownership-plan convertible preferred. Holders of record April 18 will receive the new dividend on or about May 15. A Dow Jones industrials component, the stock goes ex-dividend April 16. Yield: 2.28%.

Dividends have all but bit the dust at Washington Mutual (WM), as it maneuvers to shore up capital depleted by the subprime-loan crisis. After slashing its common payout 73% in December, to 15 cents a share, last Tuesday Seattle-based WaMu, the nation's largest thrift and one of its biggest mortgage lenders, cut its quarterly to a mere penny a share. That will save it around $490 million a year. Dividends had been paid since 1986 and had been increased for 17 consecutive years before the December reduction. Traded on the Big Board, Washington Mutual set a 52-week low of 8.72 on March 17 and was recently quoted at 11.28, down 75% from its 52-week high.

A. any forward growth guidance you get from
a company has to be taken with a grain
of salt. dubai was not news 2 days ago,
yesterday it clipped the s n p for 20
points. these are turbulent times and
all forward statements are a guess. 5
year ones are a joke. we've had a really
nice upternd for the last 8 months, that
may be coming to and end or at the very
least its probably gonna get choppy.
you're gonna have to be the judge of the
reliability of any future estimates and
any one stock can have multiple guesses
at theirs.
