The fella in the video says that the dividend is secure and that there is no bankruptcy risk. Can anyone verify who is good with balance sheets? The company is Crown Crafts, CRWS.

12% dividend stock dose not look so good when the stock loses 50% of its value over 5 years and the market has almost doubled.

Generally abnormally high dividends = slow or no growth or a company taking heavy losses.

Not all of us on this forum sit in front of 4 monitors day trading, have a Bloomberg Terminal, or understand how to read a company’s balance sheet.
Should we buy this stock? Or is it too good to be true?

In my experience usually when a company offers an extremely percentage of dividend, the market thinks that is not sustainable.
So it is expected to be temporary, and most investors expect the dividend to be lowered substantially soon.
Then you are stuck with a poor performing stock, that offers little or no dividend.
I'm not a fan of dividend or stock buybacks, I consider both a waste of company money. They piss away billions, often even taking on substantial debt to do both. All for the "share holder" = speculators who buy on Tuesday and sell on Friday.
In reality such corrupt managers just want to increase the value of their stock options, so they abuse company money for a short term rise of the stock price.
I prefer a company with little debt, and that saves money for difficult times, so they can survive those, and will be able to do a takeover when prices are low.
Ever seen the stupidity of big oil stocks? They piss away billions each year in dividends and stock buybacks. Debt increases, then the oil and or natural gas prices collapse. And they don't have money for a take over. So they wait until their own stock price and revenue is high again, and do a takeover at a very high price.
In rare cases, as Berkshire does, buying back own stock can be done prudently. Buy big oil usually does not have money to buy back their own stock when their stock prices are extremely low, like during Covid.
So they wait until their stock prices have gone up 100 or 150%, and then buy back own stock.
Beyond retarded short term thinking imo.

I saw the stock's performance. It got beaten down so much that the dividend yield is now at 12%. I don't think there is a single US stock with a higher dividend yield. The fella in the video says that the dividend is secure. I'm thinking that the stock cannot go down much further if they keep paying it, I mean there is no other US stock with a higher payout ratio. So the question for me really is if the fella in the video is correct when it comes to a sustainable dividend?

The company’s EPS is negative, has nearly as much debt as its market cap and the stock’s performance including the dividend yield is greatly lagging behind the market. If I were you, I would load the boat with this thing and return to Getbig in 10 years and tell us how rich you are.

Just buy low cost index funds and ignore the fluctuations of individual stocks.

Sounds like a good plan. Yes EPS are negative but it is a one off due goodwill write off. Cash flows are still positive. It is mentioned in the video. I think I will take a smallish position on Monday.

Bhanky said to buy low and sell high.
He has a brilliant way of reducing a situation down to what is important, much like his eat to grow philosophy.

I'm kind of excited because I have never really cleaned up my diet before and what it feels like going forward. I'm surprised how easy it is to cut out certain foods, at least so far. I think it gets easier to change your diet if you get a little older. I'm 36 now.
Anyone been eating like this for a long time? Thoughts?
I plan to upload 2 videos a week give or take.
The 2 reviews I did so far are as follows:
The Long Goodbye (1973)
A Quiet Place (2018)
Subscription is much appreciated.
I suppose you fellas probably missed this movie.
I rolled out my new YouTube channel 1 week ago and I would be happy to get your feedback.
Also bodybuilding related because I clearly lift as you can see in my videos.
Iam domiciled in Austria. I dont worry about Trump :)

Kudos for talking your book if so ;D

OP you have a lot of stock market education to do.

Nice detective work delon. It’s actually a friend of mine. Trying to see if my investment thesis holds.

Just invest in Forex. Dinero and currency hedging is the quickest way to get rich. :-*

Buy real estate

It's difficult to diversify with real estate and it's more risky when you load up on debt. Transaction costs are a headache too. Real estate can work for some people but it's really not for me.

What are you going to do with your $150 in dividends every quarter? Are we feeling saucy and checking the DRIP button?

Good luck with your investment thesis
Personally I'm a market index guy and it's served me very well over the last 15-20 years. And with a future focus it allows you to catch whatever the next big wave happens to be (currently AI buildout, quantum looming, then the next one and the next one etc) - and the inevitable creative destruction cycles - without having to pick or even know anything at all about them.
Being under 40 you should be prioritizing growth rather than yield given you have a long road in front of you
Set and forget (adding when able), go live your life, and come back in a decade having reaped the rewards

That's probably not going to grow, and is risk heavy. All those accounts will move to some other private label if it can be done pennies cheaper.

Beautiful advice by a beautiful man (nh)
The retirement strategy that makes the most sense to me is the 3 bucket strategy. I would stay heavily invested in S&P and Nasdaq ETFs and then have my IRAs in some more conservative dividend ETFs (I wouldn’t do this until Im in my 50s) and finally have a 3 years worth of cash on the sidelines in a high yield savings account that I can tap into in case of a major sell off. Tinkering around with trading, options, chart analysis and balance sheets is a waste of time unless you want a hobby or pretend to be like Warren Buffett but without the money or insider trading tips. Trading is basically just gambling for a dopamine hit.

These are fair points but this stock Crown Crafts has little to do with trading. It's an investment for the long term. The average stock market return over the last decades on average has been roughly 9%. So when you buy Crown Crafts at 12% dividend yield and the share price goes nowhere you can still generate market beating returns by just receiving the dividend.

Most of us have no idea what you're talking about. It's only you and a few others on here that understand stock market lingo and investing rules. I don't understand why you're asking for opinions on here. Just buy some shares and see what happens. Past earnings are not indicative of future results.

But Crown Crafts’ long-term performance is softer than baby shit. What’s 12% of zero?

Agree. I do funds for US stocks, international stocks, and bonds. Maximize all 401k and HSA contributions. I do the bonds in the tax deferred accounts.

Dividend is a nice extra, a stock price that goes up is way more important, but I invest for the short term. So if I misjudge the stock performance it's a nice sort of plan B
Due to a kind of big bank unofficial cartel I only get 2% interest. So in that respect dividends from a stable and predictable company can be less bad than a savings account
Also depends on where you live with regard to taxes on dividends received.

Take a flyer on it with money you can afford to lose.

If it’s income you’re looking for:
Another option is a low quality bond fund. For example, FTF pays about 12% and, with bonds, price fluctuation is way less than with stocks, although it definitely occurs (interest rates, Fed, etc.). The way I look at it, ok if some of the bonds inside the fund default, well then the interest rate falls to (say) 9 or 10%. This works if you are holding on for the dividend income - either to use or for cash buildup for new investments - and don’t care too much about associated price fluctuation.

Terrible idea now. 10 years ago, yes.
