Do you get your cable service through Comcast? How would you like to get some of your cable fee back in the form of a yield of 5%? I'm not talking about buying the common stock of Comcast (CMCSA), which only pays a 1.7% yield.
What I'm talking about are the Comcast 5% Notes (CCV), also known as minibonds, that are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange with a
current yield of 5.0%. In case you missed the previous articles about minibonds, such as Goldman Sachs (GS) minibonds, or Banc of California minibonds, you should check them out.
The Comcast 5% Notes,
have a maturity date of December 15, 2061, but is redeemable by Comcast on 12/15/17. The company pays interest of $0.3125 each quarter.
These minibonds are currently trading at 25.00 per share.
Keep in mind the risks. The distributions are interest and not dividends, so no dividend tax
benefits. If interest rates go up, these will go down in value. These are not like regular bonds, so there is no accrued interest between distribution dates. These have much lower liquidity than the common stock.
So what about the company that is backing these
securities? The company reported strong earnings growth of 30.2% on a 13.7% rise in revenues for the latest quarter. The common stock trades at 19 times trailing earnings and 16 times forward earnings.
As long as you can accept
the risks, especially the interest rate risk, you might want to consider these bank mini bonds, in order to
help bring up your overall investment income. If you are interested in

Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Fifth Week of May
Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called 'Buying Dividends'. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend. This technique generally works only in bull markets, and can work in flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the technique during bear markets.
In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can't sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, and the yield.

Dividend definitions:
Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend.
Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend.
Record date: the day when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks at two business days before the record date.
Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date.
Don't forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique.
