May I suggest another one? I'm looking hard at ORIT.

Dividend paying stocks....
- Thread starter Afishegg
- Start date
I think the financial sector will come back eventually and this is the time to start buying. The stock that I like is JPM which I don't own it now. JPM has market Cap of $141B with low valuations and it pays 2.7% dividend. Dividend can be reinvested which can be attractive for long term holding.

KO has been great for me. Yields 2.7% and sticks to its fairly narrow trading range, which it is just about in the middle of right now. Currently at $67 and looks to be on its way up to finish the year around or above its 52 week high @ $72. An investment now could give 10% over 2 months.
I'm not a fan of the banks right now but I do have WFC in my portfolio for a few reasons that seemed to add up at the time that I bought it. I think buying just about anything in this dip will return a nice profit. I'll be looking at high beta stocks tonight and tomorrow morning for a strong swing back up.

Thanks Scout, I got SO in my portfolio.

SPG would make me a little nervous from a dividend standpoint because it has actually had a negative 5% growth rate over the last 5 years. And the company's debt-to-equity ratio is almost 4 to 1. Anything over 1.5 isn't my cup of tea. However it's price growth rate over the last 3 years is 46%...not bad!
PSA looks interesting to me. Its 5 year dividend growth rate is almost 10%. It has no debt (!) and it's three year price growth rate is almost 30%. That's probably why Friday's closing price was $124.82. PSA looks like something I'm going to add to my own portfolio, so thanks for bringing it up, bmneveu!
My favorite dividend stock is probably MCD. I was glad to see it on ocean's core list too, because I have so much respect for his expertise.

Oops. Just saw PSA's Price to Sales ratio and $12.30 is way to steep for me. I draw the line at about $3.
Edited to add: Except for MCD and KO. I'll stretch it to about $3.50 just for them.
Thanks Maggie, there are a lot of things that I am still learning specially in the stock markets.
I sold some portions of ETF bond funds such as AGG, IEF after the Nov 1 Ex-dividend date so I could collect the Nov dividend payout. After waiting for 3 days for settlement and now I have the cash to purchase additional stocks.
I am looking at either MCD or CVX. Both stocks are already in my portfolio and I would like to add more so I can write more call option contracts. These two stocks were able to sustain the wild market swings last week and that's why I like these stocks even more. If MCD could pull back a bit as bmneven mentioned, I will definitely go with MCD.

I've been looking at both, been on my watchlist awhile. Need to put more funds in the account before I can afford to buy either one. going into div-paying pm stocks and a couple other energy related div payers for the time being. made my list and calculations of shares affordable this morning. been sitting on sideline awhile, partially in, partially out. longterm Roth account mostly, won't be doing much trading in that account. getting harder to save $ for taxable account now they bumped up tsp contribution levels- close budget figuring required. Funding Roth and max TSP come first.

Birch is the dividend king around here, I'm still toe in the water young sprout compared to him. My most of my current short list is built from recommendations from paid subscriptions so not really thinking its ok to share unless other publicly available commentators are mentioning or have recently done so.
Here's some that I am ok sharing at the moment, that I've scoped out from fundamentals and from news on FreeStockCharts or other public sources: HUN, OLN, X, RIO, BWP, MTW, AUY. most of these have met my goal for monthly slostoch and Wms %R. AUY is an exception, but looks good for other reasons-increased dividend recently, ADX indicator looks good (monthly), Wms %R doesn't look bad, monthly trend looks good, AUY has some of cheapest production costs among producers.
be sure and do due diligence, I'm no advisor.

Wish I'd owned it back then. That would have been a sweet ride!
