Stocks Going Ex Dividend the First Week of March

Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called 'Buying Dividends,' also commonly referred to as 'Dividend Capture.' 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.

Highest Yielding Highest Rated Stocks

Many of the credit rating agencies were criticized for their ratings during the financial collapse of 2007 and 2008, especially with regards to collateralized debt obligation. However, investors still look at ratings for stocks to get some sort of guideline.

If you look at some of the major firms that rate stocks, and you look to see what stocks meet their highest ratings, you can get a good idea of what the major consensus is for which stocks are considered quality investments.

Standard & Poor's highest rating is five stars. The highest ratings for First Call Consensus are Buy and Strong Buy, the same with Jaywalk Consensus. The highest for Market Edge is Long, and for Jim Cramer 's TheStreet.com, the top rating is Buy. If you look to see which stocks meet all those ratings, and yield over 2%, you would come up with half a dozen firms. Here they are:

Windstream (WIN) 9.2%
AT&T Inc. (T) 6.5%
Genuine Parts (GPC) 3.9%
The Travelers Companies (TRV) 2.5%
Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) 2.2%
Tupperware Brands (TUP) 2.1%

If you want to see other high yield stocks, such as high yield electric utilities and stocks that pay dividends monthly, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.

When you buy dividends, there are many stocks in many different sectors to choose from. 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 has compiled a free downloadable and sortable Excel list of the stocks going ex dividend during the last half of May.
