High Yields From The S&P 500 And Which Are Highly Recommended

High Yields from the S&P 500 and the best buy ratings originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". It’s good to have stocks with dividends. Dividends give you a passive income and improve your quality of life. Some of you don’t have enough money to live off dividends and they try to close the gap by choosing only High-Yields.

The higher the yield of a stock, the less capital you need for an acceptable return. But High-Yields often have the problem that they are not sustainable, especially when the market capitalization is low and the debt high.

We’ve seen this problem with Pitney Bowes, a very popular Dividend Aristocrat who yielded for months over 10 percent until they decided to reduce the dividend distributions by a half. For sure, they still pay a good dividend but your passive income is now significant lower.

Today I like to show you the highest yielding stocks from the S&P 500 with their current ratings. Only 13 companies survived the strong market gain since the beginning of the year. Last year, the number of High-Yields within the popular index was over 20!

Below the top results are many telecom service companies as well as electric utilities. Five of the results have a current buy or better rating.

20 Technology Dividend Stocks, Most Shorted By Investors

Technology dividend stocks with the highest float short ratio originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Activists often sell stocks short. In the second step, they try to scary other investors in order to get the stock price down and to make some profits.

Today I like to show you which of the technology stocks have the highest float short ratio. The ratio shows you how many shares have been sold short. It’s ever interesting to see which companies have some problems and investors like to speculate on a falling stock price. The higher the ratio is, the bigger the problems of the company.

These are my criteria:

- Positive Dividend Yield

- Technology Sector Relationship

- Float Short Ratio over 5 percent

- Market Capitalization above 2 Billion

20 technology dividend stocks have fulfilled these criteria. I recognized that technology stocks with a high float short are also highly priced but I don’t think that it’s the only reason for the short sale. Companies like Nokia have a tough fight to compete with companies like Apple or Samsung within the smart phone market. The market speculates that Nokia will fail to gain market shares.

High-Yields: An Overview Of The Highest Dividend Paying Stocks From The S&P 500

High yielding stocks from the S&P 500 originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The Standard & Poor’s 500 is a major tool used by many meaningful investors. The index has over USD 5.58 trillion benchmarked, with index assets comprising approximately USD 1.31 trillion of this total. The index includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy, capturing 75 percent coverage of U.S. equities.

Most of my investments come from the S&P 500. It’s still a big source for dividend stocks because 407 stocks (81.4 percent of the index member) pay dividends. I’ve often published lists of the highest yielding stocks, also from the S&P 500 but this list is getting smaller and smaller. 

As of now, only 14 companies have a yield over five percent; Four of them are currently recommended to buy. The strong increase of the broad market makes stocks more expensive and yields come down. I hope that the average yield of equities will not fall to a 1 percent or less rate. Linked is a small list of all High-Yield stocks from the S&P 500.

High-Yield stocks from the S&P 500 originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". 

Dividend investors love a high yield and they are willing to give up growth for a higher yield. Not all stocks with a big dividend payment are good. That’s something I often told you. The main question is if you have enough money to resign the dividend. I do and you could it too if you have a long investment horizon.

A popular group of high-yield stocks could be found in the index of the S&P 500.

As of now, around 18 companies from the index have a yield over five percent and five are currently recommended to buy.

As you see a high yield is not only the only solution for a stock buy. There are so many criteria which makes a stock attractive. I talk about growth, margins which is at least an expression of a solid and strong market position.  A Trustful management as well as a stable business environment are also two very important factors to consider.

What do you think about high-yield stocks from the S&P 500? Are they attractive for investors or should you take a look at other stocks with lower yield. Please leave a comment.
