I have just finished going through my Watch List and adding an industry behind each stock symbol. It helps me remember what the company is into. As I was going through the list a few of the stocks caught my eye as currently interesting. Here is a quick bit about the ones I found of extra interest:

Realty Income Corp. (O) Retail space REIT keeps increasing the dividend (45 straight times) and pays out monthly. Current yield: 7.4%. Will the retail slowdown slow ‘O’ down?
Hatteras Financial Corp. (HTS) Newly public (10 months) mortgage REIT with big dividends. Is this a way to play the recovery of the mortgage industry?
United Online Inc. (UNTD) A high yielding stock that is not of the usual suspects sectors. The dime dividend is 200% covered by recent earnings. Current yield: 6.6%.
Nicholas Financial (NICK) Auto loan provider is still making profits (significantly reduced) in the current slow auto sales market. How well will they do when things pick up?
CPFL Energia S.A. (CPL) Brazilian electric utility continues to throw off huge dividends. The Yahoo Finance yield number is out of whack though. Based on the last semi-annual dividend, the stock is yielding just under 10%.
International Assets Holding Co. (IAAC) Based on their most recent earnings release, this stock does not deserve a P/E of 3. More digging is definitely required to understand the stock valuation.

If anyone has comments on these stocks I would be interested. I have not done any deep research, they just caught my eye. Please check out my Watch List and let me know if you have any favorites listed.
