10 Stocks And 2 Funds Hiked Their Dividends Last Week

On the list are some well known big players like Conoco Philips, Walgreen, Paychex or Cummins. It’s ever good to see that some stocks keep their dividend growth path. Seven of the results have a current buy or better rating.

20 Industrials With Highest Bets On A Falling Stock Price

Industrial dividend stocks with highest float short ratio originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Today I like to discover the industrial goods sector by stocks with the highest float short ratio. The figure shows the amount of short selling transactions. 

In order to exclude stocks with a damaged business model or higher risk, I observe only companies with a market capitalization above the USD 2 billion mark and positive dividend payments. The dividend payments are not necessary but they are focus of my blog. Dividend stocks are less often shorted. 

The 20 top results have a float short ratio between 4.0 and 17.44 percent. Industrials are not popular for short selling compared to stocks from the financial sector. Lennar, the residential construction firm, is the highest shorted company on the list.
