Following this blog’s continuing idea list for investors contemplating speculative buys during this period, I submit the following eleven stocks that filtered through my Thursday screen.
These securities have a market cap between $2,000b and $10,000b, are a component of the S&P 500 Index (^GSPC), have a Standard and Poor’s Rating of Four Stars or Five Stars, and yield over 6%:
(AEE) Ameren Corporation 8.47% yield
(CTL) CenturyTel, Inc. 8.68% yield
(DDR) Developers Diversified Realty Corp. 16.39% yield
(EQ) Embarq Corp. 8.15% yield
(FTR) Frontier Communications Corp. 11.61% yield
(KIM) Kimco Realty Corp. 7.11% yield
(POM) Pepco Holdings, Inc. 6.11% yield
(PGN) Progress Energy, Inc. 6.84% yield
(RRD) R.R. Donnelley and Sons Company 6.42% yield
(WIN) Windstream Corp. 11.61% yield
(XL) XL Capital Ltd. 7.52% yield
My theme is that investors should be using dividends that are likely to be supported (at least by Standard and Poor’s Ratings) as a basis for screening stocks that may be researched further for speculative purchase. Only you know your tolerance level for risk. And, if you are considering purchase from this list or any other list, thorough research should proceed any security accumulation.
