Dividend yielding stocks

[fatmango]

I have been trying to find out which stocks offer higher dividend returns. Telstra is one I know of. can anyone point me in the right direction to how I can locate which stocks offer a dividend return.

Hi,

Have a look at http://www.asx.com.au/asx/markets/dividends.do

There are plenty of stocks that offer dividends but at different yields.

 

[systematic]

AFR share tables might serve your purpose? e.g. the ASX200 table has a dividend yield column.

For my own analysis at any time that suits me, I've written an Excel spreadsheet described here:
http://rettmer.com.au/TrinityHome/Services/index.htm#_Prev6

It isn't restricted to any subset of the ASX, but accepts any number of ASX codes that I request. The worst that can happen is a nite saying, No dividend announced or None paid.

That list might be a bit misleading. Aren't we used to seeing yield quoted p.a.? That appears to be just the most recent half yearly dividend.

I went into prg at 1.90 currently CD... Will no doubt take an initial hit but come back above 2 bucks all being well!

depends how big or small you want to go.

Big caps seem to have been well bid up the last few months, so while the yields can still be better than a TD, esp when including franking credits, they're not quite as high as I want for the added risk, but if you have a minnimum 3 year investment I'd say the risks are OK.

Moving down into the mid and small caps there's still quite a few offering good franked yields.

BSA / SGN / AAD are some I've bought into. At the smaller end but 9+% yield with franking credits (at least on my buy in price)

IHD / ARG / AFI are also good ETF / LICs that provide diversity and 6%+ franked yields. ARG and AFI being closed LICs are not out trying to constantly chase new money. They do have DRPs, but they are able to be patient investors. They consistently beat the market and have low management fees < 0.5% which makes them a better deal that most funds - lower fees and higher performance.

I see dividends as the bird in the hand, capital gains as 2 in the bush. The market can't take back my dividends, but it can steal the capital gains so very quickly. I still remember the bloodbath of the GFC on my super fund, so these days I'm focusing on income and hope over time the market will reward those companies that consistently grow profits, increase their dividends, and plod along nicely thank you

Exciting is not a term I want in the same sentence as my investments.

Closed out at 2.02 with a nice dividend.

best way to do it, also allows you to average in (which ideally you dont do with speculation) and the dividends mentally make it easier to sit on paper losses. I see dividend stocks as growth stocks atm, as the rush towards divvies is already under way... TLS being an example

Sorry, but what do you mean by average in?

Can you at least try and buy the dips... strict monthly averaging really bothers me.

+1.
Why would you not take advantage where you can?

It seems that Financial Advisers are now trying to put clients in to " dividend yielding stocks ".

They are too late imo.

There is a seriously grave danger of another GFC.

I got in to these stocks 12 mo + ago.

And if they drop suddenly and catastrophically I will still have good divies.

I'm talking WBC, WDC etc.

My advice is to avoid these atm, and go for the next best thing, oilers, biotech, infrastructure and services.

Just my thoughts.

Curious as to why you are willing to put yourself in a position of going long while holding the view that everything might crash when there are plenty of shorting opportunities elsewhere, which is what you're predicting or leaning towards, no?

I trade on a very very long time frame.

I only trade long.

I see no need to be like a monkey grabbing peanuts in front of 3 monitors.

I am also not afraid of loss if a long term gain is in the offing.

I am also not afraid to be wrong.

My gumnuts are back this month to GFC Day minus 1. ( probably later than most )

I buy and sell.

I am about 32.84% invested in the ASX.

I am waiting and riding the present wave, and waiting, either for a collapse or a move up.

Just my way.

All fair points but I do find your 2nd commandment questionable at best!

I just don't understand why you wouldn't want to profit (or have the option of hedging against loss) by being able to go short as well as your current method.
