The Five Largest Quarterly Dividend Stocks

CapitalSource is almost certainly going to reduce its dividend. Consider the following comments from a recent press release: "Upon the closing of the asset acquisition from FIL, we expect to reevaluate our dividend policy and may decide to retain a majority of our earnings, consistent with dividend policies of other commercial depository institutions, to redeploy in attractive lending opportunities, subject to satisfying our minimum distribution requirements to qualify as a REIT for 2008."

iStar Financial and NorthStar Realty have plenty of capital gains available to support their dividend stream.
