14 Technology Dividend Stocks With Huge Potential To Pay Much Higher Dividends

Technology dividend stocks with low payout ratios and debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to go forward with my article serial about low leveraged stocks from several sectors with currently small dividend payouts. I will discover some of the greatest low leveraged technology stocks on the market with also low dividend payout ratios.

My criteria are still a low dividend payout ratio of less than 20 percent as well as a debt-to-equity ratio under 0.5. In order to get only higher capitalized stocks, I decided to choose only those companies with a market cap of more than USD 2 billion.


Fourteen shares fulfilled these criteria of which eleven got a buy or better rating.


George Soros Biggest Dividend Stock Buys And His Latest Portfolio

Georges Soros latest dividend stock moves and his asset allocation originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. George Soros is a legendary and speculative driven hedge fund manager. He manages around $9.22 billion in his asset vehicle Soros Fund Management LLC. The money is invested in over 200 companies.

George Soros is a very active Trader. He bought 59 new companies, around 30 percent of his total assets. Half of his latest big stock purchases pay a dividend. The most important changes were made within the technology and cyclical consumer goods sector. 


He changed assets in this category with impact to his portfolio of around 8.7 percent or net 7.4 percent. Also important areas where he put money in were communication services and defensive consumer stocks. The 20 biggest stock purchases had an impact to his portfolio of around 14 percent.

George Soros is an unpredictable investor. He jumps on everything he believes to make money with. The positive thing is that he is a much diversified guy. 


None of his stock assets is too big to be over weighted. The biggest position has a 3.8 percent portfolio share. His 20 top stock positions represent only 31.5% of his portfolio value, including ETFs, the ratio rises to 47.7 percent.

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.

George Soros Top 30 Stock Holdings | A Portfolio Overview

George Soros is the founder of Soros Fund Management. In 1970 he co-founded the Quantum Fund with Jim Rogers and Christoper Ink, which created the bulk of the Soros fortune. Legendary was his currency speculation against the British Bank of England:

On September 16, 1992, Soros's fund sold short more than USD 10 billion worth of pounds sterling, profiting from the Bank of England's reluctance to either raise its interest rates to levels comparable to those of other European Exchange Rate Mechanism countries or to float its currency. Finally, the Bank of England withdrew the currency from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, devaluing the pound sterling. Soros earned an estimated worth of USD 1.1 billion in the process. He was dubbed "the man who broke the Bank of England." UK Treasury estimated the total costs of Black Wednesday at GBP 3.4 billion in 1997.

Below is a top 30 list of his investment positions as of September 30, 2012. Soros Fund Management LLC was valued at $3.8 billion. Top New Buys: AIG, PXD, PNKD, GOOG, WAG, BTU, TGT, DNR, AMZN
