Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Second Week of June 2012

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:01:00 -0400

Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called 'Buying Dividends'. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend. This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful, and may need to avoid the technique during those times.

In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can't sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield.

Avery Dennison Corporation	AVY	$3.1B	6/4/2012	3.7%
Banco Bradesco SA (ADR)	BBD	$27.4B	6/4/2012	4.1%
STMicroelectronics N.V. (ADR)	STM	$4.5B	6/4/2012	7.9%
Cinemark Holdings, Inc.	CNK	$2.7B	6/4/2012	3.6%
BlackRock, Inc.	BLK	$30.8B	6/5/2012	3.5%

Gannett Co., Inc.	GCI	$3.0B	6/6/2012	6.2%
Genuine Parts Company	GPC	$9.7B	6/6/2012	3.2%
Kimberly Clark Corp	KMB	$31.2B	6/6/2012	3.7%
Potlatch Corporation	PCH	$1.2B	6/6/2012	4.3%
Public Service Enterprise Grou	PEG	$15.4B	6/6/2012	4.7%
PPL Corporation	PPL	$16.0B	6/6/2012	5.2%

The additional ex-dividend stocks can be found at wsnn.com. (If you have been to the website before, and the latest link doesn't show up, you may have to empty your cache.) If you like dividend stocks, you should check out the high yield utility stocks and the Monthly Dividend Stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com or WSNN.com.
Dividend definitions:
Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend.

Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend.

Monthly Dividend Stock List

Record date: the day when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date.

Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date.

Don't forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique.

High Yield Entertainment Stocks

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 02:33:00 -0400

There's no business like show business. There are many aspects to entertainment: amusement parks, motion picture production companies, theater chains, television, sports, and many other areas. Show business has always been considered inflation-proof. When people can't afford to travel to Europe or on expensive cruises, they go to the movies, an amusement park within driving distance, or just a staycation, sitting at home watching TV.

There are numerous opportunities to invest in this sector, and many of them that pay dividends in excess of 2.5%. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com recently updated its free spreadsheet database of all the high yielding entertainment stocks and notes that pay dividends, with yields approaching as much as 7%.

One example is Cedar Fair LP (FUN), with the memorable stock ticker symbol. The stock yields 2.7%, and has been paying quarterly dividends since 1988. The dividend rate was recently increased by 11.8% over last years payout rate. Revenues for the latest quarter were up 3.2%, however the company recently generated negative earnings. Since the company is structured as a limited partnership, a K-1 will be issued instead of a 1099, so more tax paperwork involved.

Regal Entertainment Group (RGC) operates a chain of movie theaters throughout the United States in mid-sized metropolitan markets and the suburbs. The company has a forward price to earnings ratio of 19.3, and pays a decent dividend of 6.7%. Earnings for the latest quarter were up an incredible 625%.

Another motion picture chain that has theaters in North and South America is Cinemark Holdings Inc. (CNK), with a forward PE of 12.6, and an extremely generous yield of 4.2%. Earnings for the latest quarter were up over 1.8%.

You can check out a list of more than a dozen entertainment stocks and notes with yields above 2%, six of which yield more than 6%, all of which can be found at wsnn.com. Some of the stocks on the list are senior notes, which trade like preferred stocks.
