Stocks Going Ex Dividend the First Week of December

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, the quarterly dividend amount, and the annual yield.

American Express Company (AXP)	1/4/2017	0.32	1.6%
Barnes & Noble, Inc. (BKS)	1/4/2017	0.15	5.0%

Dead Cat Bounces of the S&P 500

Forget the Dogs of the Dow. How about the Dead Cat Bounces of the Standard & Poor's 500? A dead cat bounce takes place when a generally bad stock drops substantially and has a little bounce in price after the big drop. If you take a look at the stocks of the S&P 500 that have greatly underperformed other stocks in their industry, some interesting names turn up.

However, I wouldn't necessarily call them dead cats because most of them are fairly high quality stocks, however, because of their huge drop, there may be some buying opportunities.

One nice feature about all of these stocks which have underperformed their industry average by over 15% is that they all pay dividends of at least 1.5%. Shown below is the performance versus the other stocks in their industry, the market cap, and the yield.

Monsanto Company (MON) -21.7% $37.6B 1.5%
Sempra Energy (SRE) -17.9% $12.5B 3.1%
KLA-Tencor Corporation (KLAC) -17.7% $5.4B 1.9%
The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation (DNB) -17.4% $3.8B 1.9%
Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) -17.3% $18.2B 2.1%
H&R Block, Inc. (HRB) -16.7% $6.0B 3.3%
QUALCOMM, Inc. (QCOM) -15.8% $70.8B 1.8%
