The idea to create Factbooks and Fact Excel Sheets was born when I were looking for free aggregated information on the web. As a student of economics, I had not much money to buy the expensive S&P Stock and Bond Guides by McGraw-Hill to educate myself. I must put all my efforts into research and web search. Finally I needed to put all information into one Word and Excel file.

The Dividend Yield Factbooks and Excel Sheets inform students and other persons with a great desire for big data of stock fundamentals and worldwide yields from corporations.

A small donation from you can help me to develop this books and improve the quality of the work. Together we can make the world a better and smarter place. A place with no information advantage between poor and rich persons who have enough budget to buy the expensive data from Reuters and Bloomberg.

As a gift, you will get the Dividend Yield Investor Fact Book Package each month. This compilation contains the following books and one Excel Sheet with financial ratios form all Dividend Champions and Dividend Contenders. Here is what you get for your donation:

- Foreign Yield Fact Book (updated weekly)

- Dividend Growth Stock Fact Book (updated monthly)

- Dividend Growth Excel Sheet (updated weekly)

These books and Excel Sheets are regular updated and keeps you up-to date with current yield figures from the best Dividend Growth Stocks. 

Every donation, even a tiny one, helps us to keep this blog free available for everyone. Help us to support people with no income or big budget to get free and easy information on the web.

16 Stocks With Potential To Double Dividends Soon

Dividend stocks can be the foundation of a great retirement portfolio. Dividend payments not only put money in your pocket, which can help hedge against any downward moves in the stock market, but they're usually a sign of a financially sound company. 

Dividends also give investors a painless opportunity to reinvest in a stock, thus boosting future payouts and compounding gains over time. Yet not all income stocks live up to their full potential. 

Utilizing the payout ratio, or the percentage of profits a company returns in the form of a dividend to its shareholders, we can get a good bead on whether a company has room to increase its dividend. Ideally, we like to see healthy payout ratios between 50% and 75%. 

Here are three income stocks with payout ratios currently below 50% that could potentially double their dividends within the following years.

Each of the results has fulfilled the following criteria:

- Double Digit EPS Growth For The Next Five Years
- Sales Growth Over 5% Over The Recent Half Decade
- Positive Dividend Payments
- Payout Ratio Below 30%
- Debt/Equity Under 0.2


These are the results...

Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On August 06, 2013

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.

The ex dividend date is the final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.

A full list of all stocks with payment dates can be found here: Ex-Dividend Stocks August 06, 2013. In total, 24 stocks go ex dividend - of which 6 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 2.75%.
