Sometimes a portion of the income may be non-taxable.

All of the following stocks have yields of 10% or more, P/E ratios below 17, and PEG ratios below 2.2. Dividends are subject to change or termination, however, most of these stocks have been paying dividends for at least a few years.

These deals consistently close in a four-month time frame, give or take a few weeks depending, for the most part, on the SEC review. In the vast majority of cases, the proxy review is waived or cleared in less than 60 days, resulting in the 120-day average for all deals in the database.
