Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Second Week of January 2014

 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, 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.

Death Stocks

Death is kind of a depressing topic but it is something that won't go away and several companies are making money due to that fact. Death stocks are companies involved in the business of cemeteries, cremation, coffins, funeral parlors, and headstones.

There are many companies that operate in thisindustry , and based on the list at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, there are over half a dozen companies in the death business. One interesting thing to note is that most of these companies pay dividends.

Memorials and Caskets

For example, Matthews International (MATW) is in the business of memorialization products for cemeteries. The company produces manufactures cast bronze and granite memorials, cast and etched architectural products, mausoleums, and wood and metal caskets.
