Following are Buy/Write analysis of stocks presented in a SeekingAlpha.com artcle by Scott;s Investments titles 11 High Yield Stocks to Consider Now, dated December 13, 2010.
CNP and SE were new to our database.
CNP and CMS do not have a wide selection of calendar dates therefore we only presented two scenario's as the far date was about 6 months out.
Symbol Name
CMS CMS Energy - High RVI's are our only concern. We like the low P/E's and high dividend.
CNP CenterPoint Energy Inc - High RVI's are our only concern. We like the low P/E's and high dividend.
CTL CenturyLink, Inc - High RVI's are our only concern. We like the low P/E's and high dividend. Pricing volatility trails off as is reflected in the lower days earnings. Note the further dates capture the dividend.
FTR Frontier Communications Co - Astronomical RVI's, this is a 17.3%/$1.46 price ranging stock with high P/E's. Communications stocks do have their issues and rewards as is reflected by the 8.0% dividend.
MO Altria Group Inc. - High RVI's are our only concern. We like the low P/E's and high dividend. This stock is one we have owned for many years. It has a 23.4%/%5.85 price range.
PM Phillip Morris - Similar to MO, however it does have a better earnings profile for the same periods.
Q Quest Communications International Inc - High P/E's. Note the 2nd and 3rd dates earn the dividend. The near date is most attractive overall.
RAI Reynolds American Inc - A stock we really like statistically and fundamentally. The RVI's are high, approaching 100%.
SE Spectra Energy Corp - A stock introduced to us via Scott's list. We did not do any fundamental analysis on this stock. RVI's are high, the P/E's are ok.
VZ Verizon Communications Inc - The 223+ P/E makes us look at the Forward P/E. RVI's are high, each date earns a dividend. Overall the 2nd most attractive stock of this group.
WIN Windstream Corp - Fundamental profile aside, this is the most attractive stock in this group. High SSR's and Days earnings, each dates earns a dividend, at 7.0% is meaningful to its profile.
