High Yields From The S&P 500 - The Top Dividend Payer From The Index

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:54:18 -0400

High Yields from the S&P 500 and the best buy ratings originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". It's good to have stocks with dividends. Dividends give you a passive income and improve your quality of life. Some of you don't have enough money to live off dividends and they try to close the gap by choosing only High-Yields.

The higher the yield of a stock, the less capital you need for an acceptable return. But High-Yields often have the problem that they are not sustainable, especially when the market capitalization is low and the debt high.

We've seen this problem with Pitney Bowes, a very popular Dividend Aristocrat who yielded for months over 10 percent until they decided to reduce the dividend by a half. For sure, they still pay a good dividend but your passive income is now significant lower.

Today I like to show you the highest yielding stocks from the S&P 500 with the best buy ratings. Only 13 companies survived the strong market gain since the beginning of the year. Last year, the number of High Yields within the popular index was over 20!

Below the top results are many telecom service companies as well as electric utilities. Five of the results have a current buy or better rating.

Here is the full table with some fundamentals:

Take a closer look at the full list. The average P/E ratio amounts to 19.50 and forward P/E ratio is 13.43. The dividend yield has a value of 7.20 percent. Price to book ratio is 2.18 and price to sales ratio 1.41. The operating margin amounts to 18.73 percent and the beta ratio is 0.85. Stocks from the list have an average debt to equity ratio of 2.0.

Consumer Dividend Stocks That Are Highly Shorted

Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:17:25 -0400

Consumer goods dividend stocks with highest float short ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Consumer goods stocks are often the most preferred source for dividend growth investors. I don't know why but consumer stocks have the largest amount of stocks with a solid dividend history. They are less volatile and work with good margins. For sure the growth perspective are not a good as for technology stocks and the debt is also everything else than slim but they are still attractive.

Today I like to close my monthly serial about dividend stocks with the highest float short ratio. I like to screen consumer goods stocks and excluded those with a market capitalization below 300 million and stocks without dividends.

My top 20 stocks have a float short ratio between 8.21 percent and 28.92 percent. The highest short selling stock is Pitney Bowes. The company is followed by the auto parts seller Monro Muffler Brake.

Despite the huge number of pessimistic investors, analysts recommended 13 of the results.

Here is the full table with some fundamentals:

Consumer Dividend Stocks That Are Highly Shorted....

Take a closer look at the full list. The average P/E ratio amounts to 21.02 and forward P/E ratio is 15.33. The dividend yield has a value of 2.08 percent. Price to book ratio is 6.09 and price to sales ratio 1.17. The operating margin amounts to 8.49 percent and the beta ratio is 1.30. Stocks from the list have an average debt to equity ratio of 3.72 due to the high value from Pitney Bowes. Excluded by this figure, the value is 0.7.

Best Yields With Ex-Dividend Day Between June 17 - 23, 2013...

The ex-dividend date is a major date related to the payment of dividends. If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or later, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend. It is important that your broker settles your trade before the ex-dividend date.
