High yield investing is popular
especially just before the next dividend payout. In order to receive the next
dividend, investors must take a look at the ex-dividend date. If you own a
share or fund before this day, you will receive the next dividend. I screened
interesting high yielding stocks going ex-dividend within the next month – December
2012. As result, we found 81 stocks with an average dividend yield of 6.51
percent. Twelve stocks have a double-digit yield and fourty a buy or better
recommendation.
Below the
results are fifty-one stocks with a market capitalization under USD 2 billion.
They have definitely a higher risk. My favorites have a much higher
capitalization.
