15 Top Yielding Stocks From The Buyback Achievers Portfolio

Best yielding stocks from the Dividend Buyback Achievers Portfolio originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I always talk about good dividends that grow over time but receiving big dividends from high quality stocks is only the half truth.

You can find a complete list of the top yielding stocks from the Dividend Buyback Achievers Portfolio attached. Only fifteen companies from the list have a current yield of more than 3 percent.

11 Basic Material Stocks With Low Debt And Dividend Payout Ratios

Basic material dividend stocks with low dividend payout ratios and small debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The basic material sector is not popular at the capital market for the time being. Over the past year, shares from the sector are the worst performing assets class on the market.

But what others hate does not mean that you cannot make money with basic material stocks. If you are a long-term investor, you should definitely find some good stocks with a cheap valuation. But be careful, raw materials are also more cyclic than consumer or healthcare companies.

Today I would like to continue my monthly screen about dividend stocks with low debt ratios and little dividend payments. I observe stocks from the basic material sector with a dividend payout ratio of less than 20 percent of earnings as well as a debt to equity ratio under 0.2.

Exactly eleven stocks fulfilled these criteria of which eight are currently recommended to buy. Agrichemicals and specialty chemical companies are the dominating player on the list.
