Top 100 Dividend Stocks – February 2011
If you are interested in finding out what are top dividend stock picks are, simply join our mailing list it’s free! I expect to send it out later this week. Then, next week I will take a deeper look into the top picks from that analysis.
What to look for
Over the past few months, we have looked at quite a few criteria that have helped us find the best dividend stocks including current yield, dividend growth and also companies that produce solid enough earnings to keep up the dividend payments. We summed it all up when we discussed the 20 things that we look for in dividend stocks.
No changes at the top as FTR continues to be the top dividend payer but its lead continues to diminish. The stock price for Frontier has continued to increase which of course translates into a smaller dividend yield. Did you notice that four of these five stocks are telephone/communication companies? We will take a deeper look into these names in this week’s newsletter.
Hopefully this will help you when building your passive dividend porrtfolio.
We will be filtering out the top 100 list to find the ones that fit all of these criteria! In the meantime, here is the list!
