6 Dividend Plays

An Amazing Dividend Play By Fool. Dividend payers are supposed to be stodgy companies giving regular payouts to shareholders. There's an unspoken contract between shareholders and the companies they own: Shareholders are willing to sacrifice high-flying price appreciation so long as the company's dividend is steady and safe.

First, I'd like you to take a look at the six dividend stocks listed below and see whether you can spot the dividend dynamo I'm so excited about.


Chimera Investment (NYSE: CIM  )
17.40%
Annaly Capital (NYSE: NLY  )
14.80%
Alaska Communications (Nasdaq: ALSK  )

Stocks That Insiders Are Buying and Selling August 2011

An insider is a person who has the function as officer, director, key employee or large shareholder with potential access to non-public information about the company. Insider trades could indicate that insiders, those who probably know the company best, are confident about the future success. Insider buys and sells are no perfect indicators, but they often show the intension of better informed persons to their investments. In many cases, the company became worse after insider sold stocks and vice versa. However, I screened the latest buys and sells and created a list of the top transactions.


Here are the top insider buys and sells from last month:
