Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Third Week of October

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.

AbbVie Inc.	ABBV	10/13/2015	3.6%
Abbott Labs	ABT	10/13/2015	2.3%
Buckle Inc.	BKE	10/13/2015	2.4%

Let Me Entertain You with High Yield Stocks

Do you realize that entertainment stocks have grossly underperformed the S&P 500 over the last six months? The PowerShares Dynamic Leisure & Entertainment ETF (PEJ) is down 5% for the last 180 days versus the S&P which is up about 7.5%. From a contrarian standpoint, maybe it is time to look at the entertainment industry.

One way to reduce risk when investing in this industry is to choose stocks that pay dividends, as this helps to reduce volatility and returns investors' capital faster. The list of high yield entertainment stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has spotlighted about a dozen companies with yields ranging from 1.7% to in excess of 5%.

As an example, Regal Entertainment Group (RGC) pays investors a yield of 4.3%. This Knoxville, Tennessee company operates multi-screen theaters in 42 states. The stock trades at 23.9 time trailing earnings and 16.0 times forward earnings. Quarterly earnings were down 6.4% versus the same quarter a year ago, on an 8.5% drop in revenues, primarily due to a poor summer for ticket sales.

Another entertaining high yield stock is Shaw Communications Inc. (SJR), the cable TV company, which is also involved in telecom and programming content services. The stock has a trailing price to earnings ratio of 15.8, and a forward PE of 13.6. The yield is a very favorable 4.1%. Earnings for the latest reported quarter were down 8.4% on a 1.2% rise in revenues.

 Other high yielders include Cinemark Holdings (CNK) at a 3.0% yield and Corus Entertainment Inc. (CJREF) at 4.5%. To see a complete list of these high yield entertainment stocks, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. Hopefully your portfolio will be profitable in addition to being entertaining.

Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Second Week of November

Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called 'Buying Dividends'. 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. 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%.

Stocks I Discussed at the Money Show Part 3

Last Wednesday, August 10, I gave a speech at the MoneyShow on high dividend stocks. I you missed my first two articles on the stocks I covered, you can see them here and here. My goal was to provide high yield stock ideas from various industries including energy, mortgages, inflation protection, real estate, utilities, entertainment, telecommunications, financial, and speculation.

One sector that you wouldn't expect to find high yield stocks is the entertainment field. Shaw Communications, Inc. (SJR), which closed at 20.34 last Wednesday, is in the broadband cable television business and sports a yield of 4.3%. What is really amazing is that it is one of the few straight stocks (not REITs, not CEFs, not MLPs) that pays dividends monthly. Shaw is also involved in Internet services, digital phone services, telecommunications, and satellite direct-to-home services.

The stock trades at 13.2 times forward earnings. Quarterly earnings for the latest quarter ending May 31 were up 23.2% on a revenue increase of 36.1%. The company has excellent dividend coverage; dividends incur $413.76 million in payouts, easily covered by $1.22 billion in operating cash flow.

Alaska Communications (ALSK) is a telecom company that pays an incredibly high yield of 12.1% payable quarterly, and closed at 7.07 last Wednesday. The company is involved in both landline and wireless communications. For the latest quarter, it had quarterly revenue growth of 0.5%, with enterprise revenue increasing 6.9%, and wireless revenue rising 4.9%. ALSK pays out $38.87 million in dividends which are covered by $73.81 million in operating cash flow.

The stock trades at 19.2 times forward earnings, which is a bit on the high side. The population of Alaska continues to grow. From 2000 to 2010, the population of Alaska increased by 13.3% versus 9.7% for the United States overall.

In the financial services industry, there is a high dividend payer that many investors are unaware of. The company is BGC Partners, Inc. (BGCP), which pays 10.3% payable quarterly, and closed at 6.31 last Wednesday. BGC is an interdealer investment broker which offers voice and electronic executions and operates multiple real-time electronic marketplaces.

The company pays out 75% to 85% of earnings and rewarded investors with a 21% dividend increase in May. It has $81.45 million in dividend payouts with $143.19 million in operating cash flow. The stock carries a very favorable forward PE of 7.9.

Earnings should continue to rise as electronic trading is increasing over voice. With electronic trading there are far fewer costs than voice operations. This should generate increased margins. Electronic trading grew by 31% in 2010 year over year.

If you like high dividend stock ideas, check out the numerous lists of high dividend stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, that can be downloaded, updated, and sorted. Also, stay tuned for upcoming articles on more stocks from the MoneyShow.
