I will start something new from this week onwards. I will try to update the blog with interesting dividend stocks every day. These are intended for short term trading and as usual you will need to do your homework before buying any of these.

MSN - Stock price is $3.17, Special dividend price is $1.10, Ex-dividend date is 03/25/2010. This stock has been trading between $2 and $3 for the last few months, so looks like a good one to buy.

TWO - Stock price is $9.54, Quarterly dividend price is 0.36, Ex-dividend date is 03/29/2010. The stock has been pretty stable at this price so looks like a good one to buy. It should give enough opportunities to get out of quickly.

CMO - Stock price is $13.03, Quarterly dividend price is 0.50, Ex-dividend date is 03/29/2010. This stock has trading in the range of 12.5 and 15.0 in the last 6 months, so this looks like a sweet price to enter.

The followign companies have recently announced dividend news, so expect some upward movement in the next few days

WNI - Stock price is $9.0, special dividend price is $0.50, Record date is 03/31/2010. The dividend news was announced on 17th and the stock shot up to 11 and then came down because of a downgrade. I expect it to go to $10 before the Ex-dividend date.

FORTY - Stock price is 15.21, special dividend price is $1.47, Record date is 04/06/2010. The dividend news was announced on 22nd and the stock has already gone up from 13.25 to 15.21 in the last two days. But the stock looks dangerous as its been on upward trend in the last one year.

Interesting high yielding dividend stocks for the week of 03/08/2010

AKF - Stock price is $6.90, Quarterly dividend price is 0.37, Ex-dividend date is 03/11/2010. This stock has been stable between 5.0 and 7.0. Even if you dont want to enter this position at this price, watch for it to come down to 5.5 and get out of it before the next quarterly dividend.

AKT - Stock price is $6.80, Quarterly dividend price is 0.36, Ex-dividend date is 03/11/2010. This stock has been stable between 5.0 and 6.5. Even if you dont want to enter this position at this price, watch for it to come down to 5.25 and get out of it before the next quarterly dividend.

PDLI - Stock price is $7.04, Semi Annual dividend price is 0.5, Ex-dividend date is 03/12/2010. This stock has been stable around 7.0, so this is a good position to enter. This is a Semi-Annual dividend, so we will have to wait for some good news to see some upward movement.

CFP - Stock price is 7.27, Monthly dividend price is 0.20, Ex-dividend date is 03/11/2010. Starting next month, this will only provide 0.10 and is the reason some price is dip in the past month. Look for it to gown after 11th and and enter it around low 6.
