Great Dividend Stocks In 2014

I have here three high income stocks that very few people like right now. I hope to convince you to be one of the few.

 

Last year my newsletter, Jack Adamo's Insiders Plus had a 48% return versus 3.5% for the S&P 500. In the last five years our Model Portfolio delivered compound annual returns of 18.9%.We've beaten the market six of the seven years we've published. Our risk-adjusted return in that period has beaten the Wilshire 5000 by nearly fourfold. And we've never had a losing year. Not even during the debacle of 2001 - 2002. You don't have to take my word for this. Those statistics are from Hulbert's Financial Digest, an independent service that tracks the performance of over 200 investment newsletters. Insiders Plus gets a lot of leads from corporate insiders, and what we call "smart money."

 

They're brilliant investors with spectacular long-term track records, like Warren Buffett, Jim Rogers and Sam Zell. But a lot of what we do is just plain old common sense and good in-depth analysis.When you can act rationally and see the true value of investments while the crowd is reacting emotionally and without insight, naturally you're going to make much greater returns. Here I have for you three hight income stocks that pay high dividends. Regardless of whether we're in a bear market or not, each of these companies will send you a check every quarter. You don't have to worry about what the market is doing week to week.

 

Each of these high income stocks has also recently had what the average investor thought was a problem. That makes their prices lower, and their current yields higher. Our analysis shows that most of the problems are in people's minds. The actual facts are far more positive. In fact, we believe these high income stocks will trounce the market over the next five years, and they'll start doing it soon.

  Click to EnlargeThe simple 80/20 business model at Illinois Tool Works (NYSE:ITW) generates success. It’s called the ITW Toolbox. The system behind the Toolbox is to focus investment and resources on the 20% of subsidiaries that generate 80% of revenues. It then focuses on the 20% of customers that generate 80% of the revenues.

  If a company can keep focused on these main drivers of success, it will prosper. This strategy is working because, over the past 25 years, ITW has provided shareholders with a compounded annual return of 15%. Look at the breakout on my price chart for ITW. The stock’s sharp jump above its 200-day moving average is a bullish sign. Buy.

Advisors' Opinion:

• By JON C. OGG At 2011-12-6

  AT&T, Inc. (NYSE: T) closed at $28.93 and the analyst consensus price target is $32.78.  It carries a 5.9% dividend yield and the stock is down 9.4% from its 52-week high. The price to book value is 1.5 and its return on equity is 18%.  S&P gives a “A-” local long-term credit ranking.  Our only caveat on AT&T is the pending T-Mobile deal, which could result in a multi-billion charge if the buyout fails to win approval.  The yield is amazing here and it did not have the iPhone defections at a rate that many expected.

  This one has had a huge move already and will be losing exclusive selling rights for the iPhone to Verizon (VZ). That's going to freeze the market and cause the company's growth rate to slip a tad, maybe to below 6%. If that happens the $2.50 estimates might come down, but just a few pennies. I worry more though that it will finally break its linkage with Verizon and get a tad less of a multiple. It will be bailed out by its bountiful yield but I don't see the company trading above $32 given the rate of rate of change upward and a small dividend boost. Still worth owning for the combined return however.
