Many investors love low price stocks. They believe that the percentage gain potential on these stocks is much greater. In a way, it's true. The potential gain of a stock going from $50 a share to $100 a share is 100%. The potential gain of a stock going from $10 to $100 is 900%. Yet, what is important is what are the chances of getting that potential gain.
In any case, there are thousands of low price stocks to choose from, and many of them pay dividends. This is a good thing, as the dividends can help reduce volatility and returns your capital faster.
Here are four stocks selling for less than ten dollars a share, that have high yields and reasonable price to earnings ratios.
CTC Media (CTCM) is a Russian entertainment company which operates three television networks, and closed at 9.38 per share today. The dividends are paid quarterly and the stock provides investors with a yield of 6.6%. The stock trades at 9.5 times trailing earnings and 10.5 times forward earnings. Earnings rose 9.2% for the latest quarter.
If you would rather not invest in a Russian stock, there is PDL BioPharma (PDLI), based in Nevada, selling at 9.40. The company manages patents and royalties relating to monoclonal antibodies. Trailing price to earnings ratio is 5.4 and forward PE is 4.6. The stock yields 6.1%.

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.

100 High Yield Stocks Below $10 per Share
If you ask the average investor if they prefer a low price stock over a high price stock, all things being equal, most prefer the lower price stock. As a matter of fact, even if all things weren't equal, many investors would prefer the lower priced stock. Psychologically, it feels good to buy the lower priced stocks. Investors think it is just as easy for a low price stock to rise one point as it is for a high price stock, even though in actuality it isn't true. So investors figure a one point rise in their ten dollar stock gives them a ten percent return, whereas the hundred dollar stock would return only one percent.
One strategy that low price stock investors can utilize is searching out ones that pay high dividends. The dividends provide an income and returns invested capital back to the investor, reducing the amount at risk. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com just updated its list of high yield stocks below $10 a share, turning up over a hundred different companies.
One example is PDL BioPharma (PDLI), which is involved in the humanization of monoclonal antibodies and the discovery of targeted treatments for cancer and immunologic diseases. The stock, which currently trades for less than $7 per share, provides a generous yield of 9.3%. The dividend is currently paid quarterly and has been paying dividends fairly regularly since 2006. The total dividend payout is $84 million is extremely well covered by the company's operating cash flow of $200 million. The stock trades at 5.4 times current earnings and 3.6 times forward earnings. Latest reported quarterly earnings were down about 10% on a 7.2% drop in earnings.
Alumina Ltd. (AWC) is an Australian company involved in the bauxite mining, alumina refining, and aluminum smelting businesses. The stock sports a very decent 6.9% yield, payable semi-annually. Dividends have been paid since 1990. Operating cash flow is $196 million, covering the $146 million in total dividend payouts. The current price to earnings ratio is 17.8, and the forward PE is 5.2. The stock sells for less than $4 a share.

How about a biotech that has a 12.2% yield? PDL BioPharma, Inc. (PDLI) is an interesting company selling for less than ten dollars a share. They manage antibody humanization patents and royalty assets, consisting of patents and license agreements with biotech companies. They also pay 25 cents per quarter and last went ex dividend on September 15, and paid their dividend October 1.

The total amount of this special cash dividend, along with the record and payment dates will be finalized at the upcoming board of director's meeting on November 11th and announced the following day.
