Whats a good source for finding information on good dividend yields on stock? |
Stocks yielding dividends between 9 and 12 % with a relatively stable or slightly fluctuating capitalization rate. Yahoo has a free stock screener that lets you condition on dividend yield. http://screen.yahoo.com/stocks.html... From here, you can frind the dividend histories of the stocks that meet your initial conditions. Thin Kaboudit: you need to review an intro to investing textbook. The div yield is one of two yields earned on stock investments. the other is capital appreciation. THe sum of the two is the total return. If a firm chooses to pay out more in divs, then it will experience less capital apprreciation and vice versa. HOWEVER, an above average div yield DOES NOT signal price reversal. As for your strategy, or rather, casual observation, how do you know that it isn't attributable to loadings on factor risk or just cross sectional noise in the data? You can't just say that a strategy with results known ex post is good or bad in absolute or relative terms. you desperately need to do some more advanced coursework in finance to understand why your post is nonsense. This is why everyone is giving your answer a thumbs down. go to msn money and use the stock screener... set your perameters for as high a dividend as possible and the beta as 1. that will give you a list of high yielding stocks that have aproximately the same volatility as the overall market... then review that list and try to filter out the most volatile ones.... a great way to find undiscovered gems is to play around with the different search methods.... good luck http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_... There aren't any. Any stock that only had a "slightly fluctuating capitalization rate" and was providing a 9% dividend would rise in price until the dividend payout ratio fell in line with the rest of the stable dividend-paying issues, between about 3% and 6%. If a stock is paying between 9-12% that just tells you it's price is in decline. You CAN easily achieve 10-15% total annual growth, however, buying the highest-yielding components of the Dow and reinvesting the dividends... In 2006, this strategy generated a total annual return of 30% http://www.dogsofthedow.com/ |
