ETF Dividend Yield

1stmilliondollar — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 03:25:12 +0000

We are currently developing a system to help us making decision for our investment. It is not an automatic trading system. It is just a customized stock screener and filter. It will be used for Relative Strength Investing as well. We will be sharing the system in this blog later when it is complete and stable enough. We don’t have the timeline yet since we just do it as hobby in our spare time.

Our first project is a simple ETF screener. We gathered a list of all ETFs traded in the US stock exchange. Thanks to MasterDATA who has provided a free CSV file containing the complete list. Then we use data from Yahoo Finance! to generate various customized screeners. One of them is generating ETF dividend yield.

Favourite High Income Recommendations

Dr. Mark Skousen, the editor of Forecasts & Strategies, has recommended seven high-income stocks/funds at the World MoneyShow Orlando 2010. You have to register to the web site to watch the video. However, you can download his full presentation in PDF format from this link (without registering).

All of these stocks/funds pay very high dividend, from as low as 6% to as high as 17%. Why high-paying dividend equities? Many analysts believe that we’ll be in a range-bound market for quite a while; some of them are even expecting double-dip recession. In this kind of situation, we can’t expect much from capital gain. That’s why; high-paying dividend equities are preferable.

Note that the recommendations above are from Mark Skousen. They are not from us although we agree that we need high-paying dividend equities in the current market. As always, we recommend you to consult your financial advisors before making any investment decision.
