Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On August 20, 2013

I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.

In total, 38 stocks go ex dividend - of which 12 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 4,46%.

38 Stocks And ETFs Let Their Dividends Jump Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week, 36 stocks and two ETFs announced to raise dividends. It’s great to see how the American dividend stock machine works. Compared to the number of stocks from the recent weeks, the current results are still thin but solid. The list of the weekly dividend grower is very volatile and the number of constituents is between 10 and 100. This week, the average growth rates amounts to 33.8, a value twice as much as the results from last week.

I love it to see how companies increase their dividend payments despite the fact that I would buy only a few of them. The biggest names on the list are Clorox, Coach, Marriott, Macy’s and Potash. Three of the results are High-Yields and 20 have a current buy or better rating.

14 Large Caps Dividend Stocks Close To New 52-Week Highs

Large capitalized dividend stocks near 52-Week Highs originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The markets are bullish and stocks move up. It’s getting hard to find real bargains or low valuated high-quality dividend stocks. The good thing is that in a bullish market, you can make money with different kind of stocks. Everything goes up and the main reason behind the expansive monetary policy.

Today I like to discover some large caps that are on the jump to reach new 52-Week Highs (up to 10 percent) or to hit All-Time-Highs. Only 14 companies are on the edge to touch new highs. That’s a small number compared to the strong market.

I love it when stocks make a home run. It seems that nobody can stop them but take care about the valuation. Some stocks have a P/E over 20! It could be dangerous to buy highly priced assets. Below the results are five with a yield over three percent. Ten have a buy or better recommendation.
