5 Best Dividend Growth And Buyback Stocks Of The Week

One of my main thought related to investments is "how fast can the company pay my money back".

It's one of the basic principals in investing. Put your money into stocks that drive you cash back in a very short period of time. The smaller the pace, the bigger your return will be.

Warren Buffett bought BNSF Railway in November 3, 2009 for around USD 44 billion. It sounds like a huge amount of money but the railroad company who travelled 169 million miles in 2010 paid warren since his acquisition around $15 billion in dividends. Not bad for an old-school business.

Below I've compiled like each week stocks that have raised dividends during the past week. In addition, you can also find a list of those stocks which have released a share buyback program.

Receiving money, direct or indirect should help passive investors like me to hedge a minimum amount of return.

13 Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 10%

I know you like dividends and can't wait to receive the next payment from your favorite company. 

Dividends are great but most of the dividend stocks don't give you high amounts of cash into your pocket.

Why don't we look for stocks with very high yields? 

I talk about dividend yields in the double-digit yield range, 10 percent or more on a yearly basis. That's possible.

Sounds great? Yes for sure but those dividends often include a great risk of being reduced in the near future.

Below are 13 stocks with very high dividend yields (over 10 percent or more). I've compiled only stocks from the U.S. with a higher market capitalization in order to keep the big risks out.

16 Incredible Stocks Converting Growth In Pure Return

Growth is wonderful but makes only sense when the company has a high return on assets. 

It's a massive money creating strategy to take cash and upscale a high returning business.

Today I've discovered some growth stock ideas with double digit returns on assets and operating margins with low price and debt ratios.

These are my criteria in detail:

- Large Cap
