Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Third Week of June

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 annual yield.

This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful.

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 market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield.

Altria Group, Inc. (MO) market cap: $58.3B ex div date: 6/13/2011 yield: 5.5%

Public Storage (PSA) market cap: $19.4B ex div date: 6/13/2011 yield: 3.3%

Rogers Communications Inc. (RCI) market cap: $16.5B ex div date: 6/13/2011 yield: 3.8%

Shaw Communications Inc. (SJR) market cap: $8.6B ex div date: 6/13/2011 yield: 4.5%

Telefonos de Mexico, S.A. (TMX) market cap: $9.2B ex div date: 6/13/2011 yield: 4.8%

DTE Energy Company (DTE) market cap: $8.7B ex div date: 6/16/2011 yield: 4.5%

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 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.

Top Ylelding REITs

It you think real estate is on the road to recovery, then one of the best ways to invest is through the use of Real Estate Investment Trusts, also known as REITs. These investments pass through almost all their income to avoid double taxation, which is what most regular corporations are subject to, once at the corporate level and once at the shareholder level.

REITs have several advantages over owning real estate directly, including liquidity, professional management, diversification, and avoidance of dealing with tenants directly.

There are numerous REITs available, so you need to do your due diligence, especially checking debt levels. REITs are available that specialize in apartments, commercial buildings, industrial properties, government buildings, medical buildings, and mortgages.

WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has just updated its list of over a dozen of the highest yielding Real Estate Investment Trusts. Yields range from 3% to over 19%, however I don't believe the extremely high yields are sustainable.

Public Storage (PSA) offers a yield of about 3%, and trades at 44 times earnings. This REIT has a narrow focus, owning and operating self-storage facilities in the United States and Europe. The company has a long track record, with monthly dividends paid since 1988.

Another example is National Health Investors Inc. (NHI) which pays a decent yield of 5.2% and has a price to earnings ratio of 19. The REIT invests in health care properties primarily in the long-term care industry. The company has been paid quarterly dividends since 1992.

LTC Properties, Inc. (LTC) which sports a yield of 5.8% and sports a PE of 24, is another long-term care real estate investment trust. This is a REIT that pays monthly dividends, and the dividend track record also dates back to 1992.

Highest Yielding Real Estate Investment Trusts

One of the best ways of speculating on real estate is through the use of Real Estate Investment Trusts, more commonly known as REITs. These investments pass through almost all their income to avoid double taxation, which is what most regular corporations are subject to. The REITs have several advantages over owning real estate directly.

First, REITs are very liquid, unlike owning property directly. If you need to get your money out, you can sell it and get your money in a couple days. Second, you can receive an income through dividends. Third, dividends can be received quarterly or even monthly for some REITs, just like rental income checks. Fourth, you don't have to worry about making sure the insurance, property tax, and other expenses are paid. Fifth, you won't get a call at two o'clock in the morning about a leaking toilet. And last but not least, you don't have to deal with evictions.

Although there are hundreds of REITs to choose from, you need to be cautious about which one you choose, especially the debt level. In terms of specialties, you can choose REITs that invest in apartment, commercial, industrial, government building, medical buildings, mortgages, and many other sub-categories.

WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has just come up with a list of over a dozen of the highest yielding Real Estate Investment Trusts. Yields range from 3.2% to over 20%, but I would recommend avoiding any REITS yielding above 7% as I don't believe those high yields are sustainable.

One example, is National Health Investors Inc. (NHI) which pays a decent yield of 6% and has a price to earnings ratio of 16.4%. The REIT invests in health care properties, mainly those involved in the long-term care industry. The company has been paid quarterly dividends since 1992.

Another high yield REIT is LTC Properties, Inc. (LTC) which sports a yield of 6.5% and sports a PE of 20.9 This is another long-term care real estate investment trust. This is a REIT that pays monthly dividends, and the dividend track record dates back to 1992 also.

Public Storage (PSA) offers a yield of 3.3%, and has a PE ratio of 32.8. This REIT has a different approach to the REITs described above, as it owns and operates self-storage facilities in the United States and Europe. The company has a long track record, with monthly dividends paid since 1988.
