Stocks Going Ex Dividend in June 2019

Please note that this is a sister publication of WallStreetNewsNetwork ( http://WStNN.com ) and eventually everything on this site will be transferred over there.

by Fred Fuld III
The following is a short list of some of the many stocks going ex dividend during the next month.
Many traders and investors use the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the strategy 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 in bull markets and flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the strategy 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 many with yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the periodic dividend amount, and annual yield.

Get a High Dividend Income from Exotic Investments

Are you sick and tired of investing in all those blue chip income stocks and those boring oil and gas master limited partnerships? Looking for some exciting investments that still pay a high dividend?

MLPs

Well, you have come to the right place. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has identified over half a dozen exotic master limited partnerships, most of which have yields of over 3.5%. A master limited partnership is a partnership that is publicly traded and trades like a stock. Most MLPs invest in oil and gas properties, so the "exotic" category is everything else.

Amusement Parks

One example is Cedar Fair (FUN), which generates high income from amusement parks and water parks. Doesn't this company have a great stock ticker symbol? The yield on the investment is 5.3%. The stock, actually the MLP unit, trades at 19.8 times trailing earnings, and 14.63 times forward earnings. For the latest quarter, the company reported a 7.4% drop in earnings year over year on flat revenues. However, it reported a 1% increase in net revenues and record year to date revenues of $939 million.

Trees

Another exotic MLP is Pope Resources (POPE) which is in the timber industry. The nice thing about this industry is that the inventory keeps going up in value, unlike most other types of inventory. The stock trades at 13.6 times trailing and 18.8 times forward earnings. The investment provides a decent yield of 3.7%.

Cemeteries and Fertilizer

Do you want to invest in cemeteries? How about fertilizer? Or toll roads or fracking sands? You can do it through MLPs, all of which are listed on the free list of exotic master limited partnerships at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. Now you know how to spice up your portfolio.

Will the Government Shutdown Be Good or Bad for the Economy?

It happened! Today, the United States government shutdown began. Did investors care? Not really; the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 62 points and the NASDAQ was up 46.5 points.

So let's look at how the government shutdown might affect the economy. There are about 2.8 million non-uniformed employees of the Federal government, according to the Office of Personnel Management. Obviously, not all of these employees will stop working, as many of them are in jobs that are considered critical. Economists estimate that 600,000 to 800,000 workers will be furloughed.

These Fed workers are all across the US. They will cut back on spending, which can hurt local economies, and if the shutdown lasts long enough, they may not be able to pay their mortgages, which will cause more foreclosures and hurt the real estate market. Even state and local governments receive government funding, so they will be adversely affected.

Companies that do a lot of business with the Federal government will suffer. Although I'm sure the government will eventually be good for the money, if the shutdown drags on, it could affect the short term revenue results could be affected. Some of the largest government contractors include Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT), The Boeing Company (BA), Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC), General Dynamics Corporation (GD), and Raytheon Company (RTN).

The travel industry may be slightly affected, especially in the areas of national parks, but instead of tourists traveling to Yosemite, they will go to Disneyland instead. So this could help stocks such as Disney (DIS), Cedar Fair LP (FUN), Six Flags (SIX), and SeaWorld Entertainment (SEAS).


So what do you think? Will the shutdown be positive, negative, or no effect?

This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful, and may need to avoid the technique during those times.

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 during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the yield, and the market capitalization.

Avery Dennison Corporation AVY 12/3/2012 3.3% $3.3B

Cedar Fair, L.P. FUN 12/3/2012 4.7% $1.9B

Greenhill & Co., Inc. GHL 12/3/2012 4.0% $1.3B

Hancock Holding Company HBHC 12/3/2012 3.1% $2.6B

Itau Unibanco Holding SA ADR ITUB 12/3/2012 4.1% $33.3B

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.

Monthly Dividend Stock List

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 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.

Exotic High Yield Master Limited Partnerships Yielding up to 10%

When investors think of MLPs or Master Limited Partnerships, they usually think of companies involved in energy, including oil, gas, and coal exploration, production, refining, and transportation. However, there are more than half a dozen MLPs in what I would call exotic industries, everything from fertilizer to sand to amusement parks to nuts. Six of these exotic MLPs have yields in excess of 3%, according to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.

MLPs are investment vehicles that are similar to income royalty trusts, except that they are structured as limited partnerships. MLP's differ from high income stocks in several ways. Since they pass through income without being taxed at the corporate level, they avoid double taxation. Plus, MLPs can pass through tax deductions.

However, they differ from income royalty trusts in several ways. MLPs shouldn’t be put into a retirement plan because of the UBTI or Unrelated Business Taxable Income problem, which could put the tax deferred status of retirement plans in jeopardy. This issue is beyond the scope of this article but you should definitely talk to your accountant about the tax consequences. Also, MLPs don't send out 1099 forms, they send out a Schedule K-1 Form, and the income is reported differently on tax returns. This may mean extra time and hassle when you or your accountant prepare your taxes.

One example is Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNH) pays a yield of 7.9%. This Sioux City, Iowa based company produces and distributes nitrogen fertilizer products, such as anhydrous ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate solutions. The company, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange, has a price to earnings ratio of 13.1. Earnings for the latest quarter were up 18.3% on relatively flat revenues. Dividends have been paid since April of 1992.

Stonemor Partners LP (STON) is in the business of operating cemeteries across the United States. This Levittown, Pennsylvania based company was founded in 1999, and has cemeteries in 26 states and funeral homes in 18 states. The MLP yields 9.8% and pays quarterly. Earnings for the latest quarter were negative on a 2.3% increase in revenues.

Cedar Fair LP (FUN) has a great stock ticker symbol. I owns 11 amusement parks, seven water parks, and five hotels. The company was founded in Sandusky, Ohio in 1983. The company trades at 14.6 times trailing earnings, 12.7 times forward earnings, and a yield of 4.9%. Earnings were up an incredible 748.2% on an amazing 25.7% boost in sales.
