list of stocks with high dividend yields

if those are interested in hunting:

focus on macro factors and trends.

ie, it's a down market for this year and next overall. So what industries do well in down markets?

look for insulated industries and recession proof industries. inevitably, all industries will be affected, but which are less affected by a global downturn, and are likely to return fastest?

check out SMB for instance. http://info.sgx.com/webcoranncatth.nsf/VwAttachments/Att_3EC959B59A6D0F854825744A002861FB/$file/SMB_1Q2008_Results.pdf?openelement

co managed to turn a 60% profit for the Q despite it being 'off season' for its cyclical business. it's in the switchgear biz, predominantly in singapore, servicing the construction (commercial and industrial sectors) and oil and gas industries (ie, macro trend outlook). currently below NAV (23.8 NAV, current px 20c), EPS has increased, turned from loss to profit.

note, not vested. am just highlighting two for comparison: brief elfin tutorial. hehe. how to choose a high div yield stock when both are below NAV.

 

that would depend.

if a stock is far below its NAV, there has to be a reason.

If it's a turn around company, then it's worth buying to incubate. but if it's loss making, and deeper losses, then that's a no-no.

eg, kyodo tops the list there, but if you read its AR:

PAT dropped 87% yoy, total equities has decreased, cash flow dropped from 2,266 to 1,480 (figs in '000), EPS down from 1.03 to 0.12 , NAV down by abt 25%, business outlook (clean room equipment) is not good.

ie, no go, despite its high dividend yield.

where it will start looking good is if it can show a turn around: lesser loss, and business outlook is brightening.

above is my opinion only. usual caveat applies.

 

How about stock with far below its NAV, yet with >5% dividend yield? Is that worth buying?

Plus chance to sell some at high px if they go up. Stress free investing, once your initial research has been done. cheers.
