Watch List Review
I have just finished going through my Watch List and adding an industry behind each stock symbol. It helps me remember what the company is into. As I was going through the list a few of the stocks caught my eye as currently interesting. Here is a quick bit about the ones I found of extra interest:
- Realty Income Corp. (O: 29.92 +0.63 +2.15%) Retail space REIT keeps increasing the dividend (45 straight times) and pays out monthly. Current yield: 7.4%. Will the retail slowdown slow ‘O’ down?
- Hatteras Financial Corp. (HTS: 26.87 +0.40 +1.51%) Newly public (10 months) mortgage REIT with big dividends. Is this a way to play the recovery of the mortgage industry?
- United Online Inc. (UNTD: 7.72 +0.35 +4.75%) A high yielding stock that is not of the usual suspects sectors. The dime dividend is 200% covered by recent earnings. Current yield: 6.6%.
- Nicholas Financial (NICK: 7.69 0.00 0.00%) Auto loan provider is still making profits (significantly reduced) in the current slow auto sales market. How well will they do when things pick up?
- CPFL Energia S.A. (CPL: 62.71 +0.38 +0.61%) Brazilian electric utility continues to throw off huge dividends. The Yahoo Finance yield number is out of whack though. Based on the last semi-annual dividend, the stock is yielding just under 10%.
- International Assets Holding Co. (IAAC: 16.60 +0.06 +0.36%) Based on their most recent earnings release, this stock does not deserve a P/E of 3. More digging is definitely required to understand the stock valuation.
If anyone has comments on these stocks I would be interested. I have not done any deep research, they just caught my eye. Please check out my Watch List and let me know if you have any favorites listed.
