Bigger is better. We see it on all the commercials, bigger burgers, bigger muscles and now The Correct Call brings you bigger dividends. In this week’s ETF screener, we found a dozen ETF charts with dividends in excess of 5% displaying technical analysis buy signals. Ten of the 12 buy candidates are paying stock holders more than 7%. Those are some fat or is it phat? dividends.
ETFs with 5% plus dividends:
- Claymore/Zacks Country Rotation CRO: 5.21%
- Claymore/Sabrient Stealth STH: 5.39%
ETFs with 7% plus dividends:
- WisdomTree Dividend Top 100 DTN: 7.01%
- WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend DES: 7.65% This one really intrigues us as we saw numerous buy signals on small cap ETF charts, especially value. If we had to pick just 1 of the 12 to invest in, this is it.
- First Trust Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index (FDL) 7.70%
Summary:
- CRO 5.21%
- STH 5.39%
- DTN 7.01%
- DES 7.65%
