26.25% Annual Return With Lobbying Stocks? Here is how it works...

I found an interesting portfolio investing idea: Invest into stocks that spend a huge amount of money to support political campaigns’. 

It's no wonder that corporations have a huge interest in spending money for politics: Each dollar should create a return of 220 bucks in the future. That's a pretty good investment in my view.

I'm no social guy and have no thoughts in my mind how governments work but stocks that have spend huge amounts for lobbying as a percent of total assets, have performed very well in the past. 

Stocks that lobby Washington beat the street by shocking 11 percent yearly!

Since 2009 a compilation of lobbing stocks generated an annual return of 26.25 percent while the Sharpe Ratio of the combined portfolio reached a high value of 0.88.

Look at my attached stock list. Hope you get some new ideas. I still introduce many investing ideas and dividend growing stocks on my blog. 

Here are the top stocks that spend a large amount on lobbying as a percent of total assets:

Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) - Dividend Idea Of The Day With 4.95% Yield

Weekly Dividend Stock Ideas Researched by The Dividend Yield Weekly. Our weekly Dividend Idea is the aerospace and defense related stock Lockheed Martin (LMT). The company is estimated at $84.0 by Morningstar which represents a downside of 9.4%. LMT has a 7/10 rating and is an attractive dividend growth stocks with big values. The company raised dividends over 10 consecutive years and raised dividends in average with a double-digit yield. The payout is only at 43.9% at twelve-trailing month basis. The strong cash flow of $4.3 billion from last fiscal year is a solid basis for further dividend hikes. In 2011, the company paid $1.1 billion in dividends and bought $2.5 billion own shares. We like the strong cash flow of LMT and the high exposure to the U.S. economy (85% of sales are generated in the United States) as well as the networking to the government. This could be also a big burden if the U.S. government cuts military budgets due to financial spending problems. It could also an accelerator if the budgets would be raised in the long-run. In addition, we see the company as a highly profitable early stage commodity trader. LMT is one of the largest military supplier.

12 Of The S&P 500 Dividend Stocks With Highest Expected Growth

Fastest Growing S&P 500 Dividend Stocks Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, InvestmentThe Standard & Poor’s 500 index is of huge importance and often used by investors for their asset allocation. The index includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy, capturing 75 percent coverage of U.S. equities. Year-to-date, the index is up 11.64 percent which is roughly four percentage points above the performance of the Dow Jones but also six percentage points below the NASDAQ Composite index. Growth and expectations of growth is driving the performance of the indices.

I screened stocks from the S&P 500 by dividend yield and growth figures: First, the dividend yield should be positive and second, the expected earnings per share growth for the next five years should be over 25 percent. Twelve companies fulfilled these criteria of which nine are recommended to buy.
