Finding shares that pay high dividends?

[tronic72]

Does anyone know of a quick way to find shares with the best cost/dividend ratio? I'm looking at buying shares that provide a high dividend to be used as income.

thanks T

To name a few - obviously not a recommendation for any - just observation.

I have a scan using the Aspect Huntley Equity Review for candidates for my SMSF. It basically looks for good quality stocks that are out of favour. Here is last weeks results:-

I update it weekly for subscribers. I like the Equity Review product and would recommend it for this kind of stuff. No connection - just a happy paying subscriber

Thanks guys,that's exactly what I was after.

I've recently bought a large parcel of AFG shares with an average price of 2.20. If the dividend of 44c continues this year I'll be making nearly 20% on them.

Thanks again

Heres a link to a free website that gives some useful data.

I am personally looking especially for 100% Franked dividend payers, for use in my SMSF.

I might start a separate thread when I get time, their seems to be an advantage in overall after-tax return rate of about 7% for SMSF pension phase, due to the low tax.

G'Day AWG,

I used to use this site.. But it is WAY out of date, so of little use to me.. Do you know how to update it?? I've still got Fairfax (FXJ), for example, @ 4.74.. It's been a while since it was at that price..

Regards,

Buster

I would suggest that you look a little bit into historical data as well. A stock may have high divis now, but obviously, that's not guaranteed in the future. However, looking at the dividend stability would help in determining the likelihood of a stock to keep paying out good divis in the future.

I do a similar thing.

PSH, ZFX and MAP are good performers dividend wise. Same for the big banks - SUN and ANZ for example.
