I always have a big picture of stocks that go
ex-dividend in the near future in order to get quick cash back from my
investments. Sure it’s not a trading strategy because after the ex-dividend
date, the stock is also traded lower in the amount of the dividend.
However, I screen every month some interesting high
yielding stocks with ex-dividend date within the next month. As result, I found
48 stocks with an average dividend yield of 5.20 percent. Five stocks have a
double-digit yield and eight a high yield. 20 stocks from the results have a
buy or better recommendation.
Here are my favorite stocks:
