list top paying dividned stocks?

Answer 1

There are current top dividend paying stocks and there are continual top dividend paying stocks. A dividend for this year may be a one time affair. Another thing to consider is whether the dividend is subject to preferred tax rate or not. Many high paying stocks are not.

Consider first New Century Financial. Based on the current price of 0.37 a share the payout ratio for this stock based on its dividend of $7.60 is phenominal. But as you are probably aware the company went bankrupt and will not be paying that kind of dividend any longer. So much for sub-prime mortgage companies. There are several is this category.

To filter out all of the ones that are most likely not to continue paying such high dividends, let's put an upper limit of 15% on the dividend.

AIP 14.75%
TELOZ 14.7%
FRO 14.26%
PWI 13.9%
HTE 13.8%
CNE 13.8%
RSF 13.4%
AAV 13.0%
TIRTZ 13.0%


Those are a few that might very well continue paying a good dividend. The actual list of companies that pay between 10% and 15% is about 67 companies.

Answer 2

When looking for dividend stocks, be sure to limit your selection. You want to stick with companies that have a reasonable chance to continue paying the dividends. And that aren't likely to suffer a market share nosedive. When the share price comes tumbling down, your loss will make the dividends irrelevant.

That said, I ran a search for dividend stocks with minimal criteria. Seeking only to weed out the obvious junk. These all pay over 13%.
RAS, PGH, PWI, LUM, SWZ, MTA, RSF, RMH, RMA

Adding criteria to limit the results to stocks I might actually take a look at returned these five, all paying between 5.6% and 8.1%
ACAS, GTY, NHI, PCU, GNK

Answer 4

beware of these high dividends especially now that the commiecrats are controlling the asylum in some cases it means the company has no room to gorw and its living off of it profits. Rarer cases is that its an attempt to make the stock more attractive. But if the commiecrats get their way in 08 (their queen in the white house) and further in 10 (dividend tax breaks evaporated) look out.

Meanwhile NFI nice pick seeing how they are embroiled in a 46 million dollar lawsuit for their mortgage pratices...(click on summary and read it for yourself)
