    February 16, 2008

    UPDATED! Guest: IBD’s Kate Stalter from “How To Make Money In Stocks” workshop series. She is also a regular guest on national financial radio shows, and often hosts market video updates in Investors.com Media Center. We also talk with Chris Hill, Director of Communication for The Motley Fool to get the answer to what CAPS actually means. You will be very surprised.

    In her own words:

    The best part of my job is helping investors understand the market facts, and tune out all the opinions. By understanding how the market works, and by using proven buy and sell rules, people really can be more successful in the market, and that’s gratifying to see.

    Chris HillIn this episode we address what to do as an investor during a correction/bear market. We also delve into the new changes to Investor’s Business Daily that we launched this week. Never been done before, the primary change is that IBD reinvented their stock tables such that instead of stocks being listed by alphabetical order, they are now sorted by stock and sector leadership. A really fresh approach and it comes at a time when most newspapers are cutting out their stock tables altogether.

    Chris Hill is the Director of Communications for The Motley Fool. Chris comes on the episode to tells us the meaning of CAPS. We take a moment to review CAPS and how it can benefit investors.

    Friday Stock Screen: 25 Highest Yield from S&P 500

    January 25, 2008

    A simple list of the top 25 highest yield stocks from the S&P 500. It is a good time to look for deep value and many of the names produced by these types of screens will provide just that. Be careful not to fall into the trap of chasing yield as that is a sure-fire way of losing hard earned capital.

    Look at the list as a starting point for more research.

    Finally, with the markets showing great headwinds in front of it, many of the names toward the top of the list may need to be reviewed from a debt and capital standpoint. Make sure the none of these are overburdened with debt as it could become a problem for the dividend into the future.

    High Yield SP 500

    (ACAS) (ABK) (CZN) (HBAN) (WIN) (WB) (DDR) (RF) (FITB) (AIV) (BAC) (CMA) (NYT) (EQ) (KEY) (BBT) (LEG) (GGP) (PFE) (EQR) (AEE) (PGN) (USB) (MI) (NCC) (TEG)
