Divididend yield scan....

Okay, so heres the scan criteria:

Price >= $5
Price <= $100
Average Daily Volume >= 250,000 shares
Dividend Yield >= 10%
Price/Earnings Ratio >= 8

Here are the charts in the above order. All are monthly going back as far as the companies inception thus giving you an idea of how established they are as well as a quick eyeball of previous performance. It is pretty interesting how diverse this group is. It is also particularly interesting how many real estate oriented companies are in this list.

Anyway, I thought you would find this info helpful and enlightening setting up for some long term purchases. My plan is to glean out at least 5 of these.

Currently without even doing perfunctionary research I like: BAC, SNH, ADSK, NAT, CRY, NNN, PPL, OHI. This group alone covers Electric power, banking, software, biotech, healthcare, commercial retail space real estate, senior assisted living real estate, & tanker cargo shipping.

The bottom-line is "IF" these companies can keep their dividend intact with earnings power they "COULD BE" some of the biggest and fastest to recover. Otherwise I have a nice used John Deere you may be interested in......

Is this the bottom for commodities?

DBC

DBC is an ETF following overall commodities. Will price levels bounce from here, pause to make a bear flag, or just blast through to make new multi-month lows? I'm looking at scenario #2....Shorterm bullish and looking for a short entry.

Can you see Oil at $52.56?

5 year monthly.... MASSIVE H&S pattern

5 Yr Weekly

What can be reasonably predicted from the above?

1. At $20.71 there is some extreme support which is weakening with each failed attempt to break below. A break would fulfill the H&S pattern and a projected target below would be $36.95-$20.71 = $16.24.
2. Another bounce off of $20.71 which will ultimately fail at the 23.6% fib line or $24.54 and then finally break the $20.71 level.
   
   Either way Mr. Softy will eventually provide a nice short opportunity

OIL and alternative....

FSLR

Oil could be turning higher with support at $55.50. I find it interesting that FSLR looks like a good short with a stop at the 0% fib line.
