Hi guys, Is there some simple way of determining who pays the largest dividends? ie: is there some "dividend rating chart" or something? Sure, you can look at each stock individually, but this would take forever. Thanks.
It is a pity I do not think the banks are crash proof as they would be an easy pick. Maybe once all the dust has cleared and the gubbermint has picked who they bailout and who they let fall. Anyone care to share what they would see as a crash proof stocks. Here's my list based on the fact that some things you really cannot do without (i.e. food, transport, electricity) WOOLWORTHS ORIGIN ENERGY WESFARMERS AGL ENERGY WOODSIDE PETROLEUM INCITEC PIVOT
Don't forget when you're looking for good dividend payers that you want a stock that you can expect to grow the dividends not leave them flat, or even reduce them as happened recently with Seven West Media (SWM). E.g Look at the dividend history of Telstra against say Oroton. Bit arbitrary picking Oroton, but for some reason the one I thought of first. The implied dividend yield now for the price paid back in 2002 for ORL is 4x the actual yield of 4.63% then, and has been higher. The implied yield now for Telstra on the price bought back in 2002 is only 1.3x the actual yield back then. But looking at the yield back then you might have judged them as equal dividend paying companies. Need to do a second filter for history of growing earnings (and therefore divs) on your dividend payers list. Oroton (ORL) divs cps 2002 - 2012 10, 12, 15, 13, 05, 23, 35, 41, 48, 50, 41 The yield for ORL in 2002 was 4.63% Telstra (TLS) 22, 27, 26, 40, 34, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28 The yield for TLS in 2002 was 4.72 rising to 6.14% in 2003
