The current dividend yield of the S&P 500 index is about 2.5%. However some components in the index have much higher yields. The following components of the S&P 500 currently pay more than 5% dividends:
Want proof that we're not out of the woods just yet? Last Thursday, the Dow fell as much as -9.2% in just minutes before snapping back nearly as fast. One eight-minute span during the day wiped out almost $700 billion in equity before the market rebounded, according to Bloomberg.
The markets went on a wild ride during the week ended May 14, with the S&P 500 opening Monday with a 4.40% gain and hitting a 5.47% cumulative gain by Wednesday, only to settle back down for a cumulative 2.23% gain by the close on Friday. The Russell 3000 ended the week up 2.73%.
It was another great week to be long "low-quality" stocks, with the 19 new stocks on that list surging by 3.86% on average. In contrast, the 16 "high-quality" stocks on our list appreciated by an average of 2.09%.
Higher-risk stocks, with poor but incrementally improving fundamentals, outperformed by almost 2x that of the market Tuesday. The S&P 500 returned 0.81% excluding dividends, but "low-quality" in our unlevered model portfolio rose 1.77% on average, driven by the likes of Harley-Davidson Inc. (HOG) up 7.32%, MGM Mirage (MGM) up 6.91%, and Weatherford International Ltd. (WFT) up 5.71%. If Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) blow-out earnings reported after the market close, along with IBM (IBM) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) earlier reports are any indication, maybe we could see another positive day today.
Market Finds a Reason to Sell Off On Friday, April 16, 2010 the markets sold off when news broke that SEC had charged Goldman Sachs (GS) with fraud. According to the Wall Street Journal the case depends on the contention that,
Goldman sold investors a product linked to the performance of certain mortgages without telling them that a hedge fund betting on the mortgages' demise helped design the product... that Goldman was reckless in deceiving investors.
"Low-Quality" Stocks Continue Their Run as Hard Data Lags Real-Time Improvements For some time now, we have been explaining how low-quality stocks have been surging to double-digit percentage gains over the last few months. The surge in Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions Inc. (MDRX) is a recent case in point. MGM Mirage (MGM) and Harley Davidson (HOG) are some others we have pointed to recently. Plenty of other stocks on our "low-quality" lists have been surging...
Today's "Low Quality" is Increasingly the "High Quality" of Tomorrow. An increasingly prevalent theme is playing out in which "low-quality" companies - those that have poor trailing fundamentals and multiples, and negative analyst revision trends - are "surprisingly" showing improvements. This has driven some double-digit gains in recent months of some "low-quality" stocks, and more recently it seems like we are starting to see numerous single-digit daily moves.
The latest case in point is Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions Inc. (MDRX), up 14.45% for the month to date and up 7.48% Friday.
Below are the returns, including dividends, for the high yield momentum strategy I track on a monthly basis. I update it on or around the 10th of every month on the right hand side of my blog. The strategy had solid returns of 6.01% for the one month time period, including dividends. By comparison, SPY returned 4.23% and SDY returned 3.4% including dividends (of which there were 0). I will be revealing this month's portfolio tomorrow.
