Stocks With Nearly Safe Mega Yields (Over 10%)

My Favorite Master Limited Partnerships - High Yields and Low Taxes

MLPs are publicly traded limited partnerships that derive at least 90% of their cash flows from real estate, commodities or natural resources. In the US there are about 120 MLPs with a combined value around $875 billion.

There are three classes of MLPs: upstream (resource extractors like oil and gas partnerships), midstream (those that transport and process resources, like pipeline operators), and downstream (refiners and distributors).

Rather than paying dividends to shareholders, they pay distributions to unit holders. Another difference is that most midstream MLPs have a general partner, who runs the partnership. 

Limited partners (investors) don't have a say in how the MLP is run. In addition, general partners typically hold incentive distribution rights (IDRs), which means that a higher proportion of the MLPs marginal cash flow goes to them as the distribution grows (up to 50% of marginal cash flow).

There are three main drawbacks to MLPs. The first is that those partnerships with a general partner will experience slower distribution growth over time, as IDRs increase. Second, MLPs issue K-1 forms which are used instead of 1099's and can add a bit of complexity during tax preparation.

Finally is the fact that they shouldn't be used in tax deferred accounts such as IRAs. This is because they can generate what's known as UBTI (unrelated business taxable income) that can result in you owing taxes even though the investment is in a tax deferred account.

Attached I've compiled a couple of MLP's I like for a deeper research. Each of them pays a high dividend and has a higer market capitalization, over 300 million.

These are the names I like from the MLP space...

10 Dividend Growth Proven Stocks With Really Cheap PEG Ratios

While the market was in nearly nonstop rally mode for most of the past six years, investors didn't need to look far to uncover an abundance of growth stocks. But not all growth stocks are created equal.

While some look poised to deliver extraordinary gains going forward, the recent market turbulence has crushed some that were overvalued, burdening their shareholders with hefty losses.

What exactly is a growth stock? I'll define it as any company forecast to grow profits by an average of 10% or more annually during the next five years -- although that's an arbitrary number.

To gauge what's "cheap," I'll use the PEG ratio, which compares a company's price-to-earnings ratio to its forecast future growth rate. A PEG of around one or less could signal a cheap stock.

Attached I've compiled the results of my screen about the cheapest dividend growth stocks in terms of price to growth.

Here are the results...

21 Dividend Achiever With A Single P/E

Valuation is a key element when you consider putting money into stocks. A high valuated stock should also have high secured growth. If not, you might overpay the stock.

But a cheap valuation could also indicate the corporate is significant shrinking.

Each investor needs to evaluate the risk of the stock.

Today I like to show you the cheapest stocks below the Dividend Achievers. Those stocks have risen dividend year over year for a decade without a break and offer a single forward P/E.

21 Companies have such a low valuation measure. Attached you will find the complete list with a few essential fundamentals.

20 Oversold Dividend Growth Stocks With Cheap P/E's And Yields Over 3%

The markets become more and more volatile. It's a real rollercoaster. One day, the Dow is up 300 points, the second day down 400. No one knows where is the trend. Short-Term it's decreasing.

A technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of an asset is the Relative Strength Index - RSI.

The RSI ranges from 0 to 100. An asset is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, meaning that it may be getting overvalued and is a good candidate for a pullback. Likewise, if the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the asset may be getting oversold and therefore likely to become undervalued.

Today I would use this approach by showing you some undervalued stocks with a RSI of less than 30. It's a small indication that the stock could be overbought.

I've only used my Dividend Achievers List, stocks with 10 years or more of consecutive dividend growth. In addition, each of the stocks have a low forward P/E of less than 15.

These are the 20 highest yielding stocks with  a RSI under 30....

8 Cheap Dividend Growth Stocks With Yields Over 4% And Decent Growth Potential

It’s true that rising bond yields provide more competition for stocks when it comes to luring income investors, and that income stocks tend to lose the most relative appeal.

It’s also true that the Federal Reserve has hinted it could raise its Fed funds rate soon, perhaps by year’s end.

The rate has been targeted at a historic low of 0% to 0.25% since late 2008, and recently hovered around an effective rate of 0.12%. What’s not clear is that a rise in the Fed funds rate would push yields on bonds substantially higher.

Don’t shy away from stocks with high dividend yields because of a looming interest rate hike. Do, however, favor companies with decent growth potential to complement their cash payouts. Below are three that yield over 4%.

Here are the results...

18 Dividend Growth Stocks With 4% Yields And The Lowest Beta Ratios

Defensive Investors are defined as investors who are not able or willing to do substantial research into individual investments, and therefore need to select only the companies that present the least amount of risk.

Risk taking should be rewarded with higher yields. Most investors don't get paid for their investments or risk preference. Dividend stocks could offer a small risk compensation. Each dividend payment reduces your initial investment cost which is really nice. Over years, you will have a large risk buffer.

Today I like to show you some stocks with a long dividend growth history, high yields and low beta ratios. I guess this should be a great middle way. My research focus is limited to stocks with a consecutive dividend growth history of more than 10 years. Each stock should have a yield over 4% and a beta ratio under 0.5. 

18 companies fulfilled my criteria of which eight are high-yields. 5 Master Limited Partnerships lead the list of the results. Do you like any of the results? Please leave a comment in the box below the article and we discuss it. Thank you for reading and commenting.

7 Mispriced And Dividend Paying Stocks Each Investor Should Know

Buying a stock is easy but you will have only a chance to make money with your investment when you look at the valuation and growth perspectives of the corporate.

If you invest into undervalued stocks, you will more likely have a higher return in the future. Today I like to discuss a few stocks that seem to be undervalued in terms of price to earnings and growth. Please leave comments in the box at the end of the article if you agree with me or disagree.

12 Cheapest Dividend Achievers By PEG Ratio

Each investor try's to figure out if a stock is cheap or not. Fundamentally, there are two basic methods to identify a cheap company by price ratios: PER and PEG.

PER

The P/E ratio is simply to calculate: Just divide Price with Earnings. Essentially, this tells you how much an investor is willing to pay for each unit (year) of earnings. 

If a stock is trading at a P/E ratio of 30, it is said to be trading at 30x times its annual earnings. In general, the lower the P/E ratio the better. 

A common threshold for many investors is a P/E of 20 or less. (For the record, at the time of this writing, the S&P 500 Index was trading at a P/E (using F1 Estimates) of 15.33.) 

PEG

A PEG ratio is the: P/E Ratio divided by the Growth Rate Conventional wisdom says a value of 1 or less is considered good (at par or undervalued to its growth rate), while a value of greater than 1, in general, is not as good (overvalued to its growth rate). 

Many believe the PEG ratio tells a more complete story than just the P/E ratio. (The S&P at the time of this writing had a PEG ratio of 1.93.) 

 Let's take a look at both of these in action. For example: a company with a P/E Ratio of 25 and a Growth Rate of 20% would have a PEG ratio of 1.25 (25 / 20= 1.25). 

While a company with a P/E Ratio of 40 and a Growth Rate of 50% would have a PEG Ratio of 0.80 (40 / 50= 0.80). 

Traditionally, investors would look at the stock with the lower P/E ratio and deem it a bargain (undervalued). 

But looking at it closer, you can see it doesn't have the growth rate to justify its P/E. The stock with the P/E of 40, however, is actually the better bargain since its PEG ratio is lower (0.80) and is trading at a discount to its growth rate. In other words, the lower the PEG ratio, the better the value. That's because the investor would be paying less for each unit of earnings growth.

Attached you will find a sheet of Dividend Achievers with the lowest PEG Ratio on the market. Those stocks have risen dividends over more than 10 consecutive years and a PEG ratio of less than one.

Twelve companies fulfill these criteria of which three pay dividends over three percent.

8 Dividend Achievers With A Single P/E - A Compilation Of The Cheapest Dividend Growth Stocks

Before investors blindly pile in here, they need to consider that “cheap stocks” are almost always cheap for a reason.

That reason may be the company’s business segment, it may be due to missteps by management or it may be due to outside pressures that make investors nervous.

Generally speaking, stocks trading under 10 times earnings do not have much growth. Growth stocks tend to be valued at multiples above the market, if their growth trend is expected to continue.

In todays screen for stocks under 10 times earnings, we evaluated large-cap companies, with easily recognized company names in mind.

Only one of these eight stocks have a market value under a baseline of $1 billion to $10 billion and three are valued over $10 billion, a measure for large cap companies.

These stocks all have raised dividends over more than 10 consecutive years while the forward P/E is below 10. The valuations of 10 times earnings and less were based on Thomson Reuters consensus estimates for 2015 and 2016.

Here are the results of the cheapest Dividend Achievers:

Why Not Investing In A High-Yield Dividend Achievers Portfolio?

Do you want to put your money to work? Then it needs to do more than just sit in a bank account or get traded in and out of stocks. 

Your money needs to get you paid, and the way to do that is through high-dividend stocks. Now, doing that isn't as easy as going out and buying the first high payer you can get your hands on. There are some characteristics to look for that will ensure you'll continue to get paid for years to come. 

Let's look at why an individual investor should be buying high-dividend stocks, and what you need to seek out and what to avoid when picking these stocks for your portfolio.

In order to avoid big investing mistakes, investors should focus on stocks with a higher market capitalization, a broader diversified business model which is also less volatile and finally a constantly growing business. The latest point makes it easier for the company to hike dividends in the future. For income investors like me and you, it is a very essential point.

However, today I like to introduce those dividend growth stocks that offer most of the above mentioned criteria. I like to show you only Dividend Achievers, stocks that have grown dividends over 10+ years without a break.

Why You Should Look At These 16 Stocks With Cheap Free Cash Flows

When you put money into the market, you should be aware of the market valuation. One of the major problems in valuation is definitely to predict future cash-flows.

Nobody of us has a crystal-ball and no one can predict the future.

The second problem is that there are companies that must invest massively into the business model in order to boost growth or to replace old machines or buildings.

Investors often calculate with free cash flows. Those are the real income of the company, available for dividends, buybacks or mergers and acquisitions.

Today I like to introduce the cheapest Dividend Achievers with a low price to free cash flow of less than 15.

16 companies fulfilled my criteria of which four have a dividend yield over 3 percent. The most of the results come from the property and casualty insurance industry.

Insurer generates massive cash but they have also big problems with decreasing premiums and increasing competition. There are always good reasons why some companies are cheap.

You may also like my article about the best dividend stocks from the title insurance industry. I still prefer, like Warren Buffett, the fastest growing companies from the insurance sector. Those are ACE, UNH and TRV.
