5 Dividend Stocks With 7% Or Higher Yields [View article]
Michael, thanks for the compliment. I made the chart a two year chart so that I did not get readers into tunnel vision as far as only looking at 52 week returns. I wanted to expand the time horizon to show what the stocks have done in the past two years for the example. Taking it out two years paints a different picture than showing the 52 week price change. This further makes my point that I want a potential investor to conduct their own due diligence on the stock without just getting excited about it by seeing it in this article.

Steve, according to this report by AP, the dividend will be paid to shareholders on record as of 12/17/12 http://yhoo.it/RwBVA0 I don't know if that means before trading starts or as of the end of the day. For dividends, the morning the stock trades ex dividend, the stock price will go down by the amount of the dividend, all else being equal. If you are in before this, ie the day before, you will get the dividend even though the settlement date might be later. If I were you, I would ask my broker but they might not know. I would wait for the stock to open on Monday and see if it is trading $4 lower per share, which it should once the time has passed to receive the dividend. If it does not drop by that amount on Monday morning, I would say you will get the dividend. Don't quote me on that though, that is just what I would do if I wanted to buy the stock.

I was in Q right after the pending merger was announced with CTL. If I remember correctly, the market did not fully price it in initially, probably because there were doubts that the merger was going to come to fruition. That was also when Q reinstated their dividend. It provided a great entry point but obviously not as good of one as you had when you bought in at 1.69-1.99.
