72 Top Dividend Stocks With Ex-Dividend Date In September 2013

Monthly high yielding shares researched by “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. We are coming close to the end of August and I would like to look forward to find good stock ideas for the next month. 

I try to screen some interesting stocks that go ex-dividend within the next month.

I also publish articles each day on my site about the biggest ex-dividend shares of the next trading day. Let me say one thing. There is no margin trade idea behind because on the ex date, the stock will be traded ex-dividend and for a return of 0.5 percent it’s not attractive to hunt for a margin trade because the daily fluctuations are much higher.

But it makes sense to look at these lists because you get a quick overview about the stocks with a possible rising trading volume and if you are a long-term dividend investor, you get a quick cash return and don’t need to wait for the next dividend period.

However, every month, I create a small list about interesting high yielding stocks with ex-dividend date for the next month. I think it could bring you some values to see what companies pay you cash next month with an attractive equity story.

As result, I found 72 stocks with an average dividend yield of 7.89 percent. Ten stocks have a double-digit yield and 28 a high yield below 10 percent but over 5 percent. 32 stocks from the results have a buy or better recommendation.

16 Dividend Aristocrats With High Beta Ratios

Dividend income growth stocks with highest beta ratios published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend Aristocrats are stocks with a very long tradition in dividend growth. Those stocks hiked its dividend payments over a period of more than 25 years in a row and being selected by the credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s. The company selects 54 constituents for the index. All income investors love this index but he has also lacks.

Dividend Aristocrats normally have a lower volatility than other stocks. This could also be an disadvantage because you give up performance in a strong up moving market. The solution is simple: Look at high beta stocks. They can give you a better return when the market is very bullish.

I observed all current 54 Dividend Aristocrats by the highest rate of beta, starting with a value above one. Only 16 of them are more volatile than the overall market. It’s how I told it: Only a few Dividend Aristocrats, around 30 percent, are riskier than the market but they can also deliver you a better performance in return. For the time being, twelve of the High Beta Dividend Aristocrats have a buy or better rating.
