Some Dividend Investment Opportunities

(I originally posted the following article on The-DIV-Net website on September 7, 2008)

The September issue of Argus Research's Argus Update newsletter provides a list of stocks the firm titles as Dialing for Dividends. The screen is based on the following criteria:

• A market value of at least $1 billion

• A dividend yield of at least 3%, but less than 6%

• A dividend payout ratio of less than 50%

• Dividend growth of at least 8% per year over five years

• A forward P/E of less than 15

As is always the case, the list is only a starting point for investors. If any of the stocks on the list are being considered for inclusion in ones portfolio, additional research should be performed.
