    lets think
    other layers where those stocks co-exist...
    ecosystem will remain uncertain...
    few dividends will remain useful in stochastic times

    Qwest sticks out to me here. I'm convinced they'll be bought by T or VZ. In the meantime, huge dividends. Reply

    The ZWEIG funds pay out 10%, but part of it, maybe a big part is return of capital, in other words just giving you your money back.

    Calling that a yield is stretching it     Reply

    Why is a stock with a 0.9% yield considered "high yield"? Reply

    And you usually get a stock which has fallen 25%-50% or more in value. Interestingly, you never see an article pushing "stocks over 100". And these would likely be better as youre usually getting a company which has increased shareholder value over time. Reply

    I continue to be amazed that "investors" equate a low dollar amount with low price. This looks like a list of stocks worth investigating further but lets not conclude that these are cheap just because the price is low. Reply

    Take a look at the 5yr and 10 yr graph and note the comment about the fund trading at a discount to its net asset value for at least the last 3 years. Beware of the potential of having your invested capital go into the red. Reply

    Carla,
    Why is "46% non-taxable return of capital" god in our opinion? Doesn't this mean a return of my money paid in capital?     Reply

    Well done article Carla but I believe if you do further research you will be surprised to see that Martin Zweig does not actually manage the portfolio/fund. They run the fund in his style and he was involved in the genesis of the fund. He doesn't, however, make day-to-day calls on the fund. You can easily trade this fund as people buy in anticipation of the distribution (I hesitate to call it a dividend as they are clearly returning capital) and then it sells off - with the premium at 10% today I think you will see this fund take a serious hit on ex-dividend. If I were buying as a long-term investment I wouldn't want to buy at these levels. Reply
