Seller's Paradise

Kiplinger magazine had an article on the best dividend stocks of the S&P 500 to buy now. They mention 2 types: High-Yielders and Dividend-Growers. The first group has dividend yields that are about twice the average S&P 500 yield (currently 2.0%). The second group has raised their dividends at least 10% per year for each of the last 5 years.

We, of course, took their list and layered on some covered calls for even more income and safety. For details on the 9 best dividend stocks they chose, see our blog article Best High Yield Dividend Stocks.

Widows and orphans have special investment needs. Chief among them are safety and income. TheStreet.com recently published a piece that mentioned 3 un-correlated stocks that are, in their opinion, appropriate for widows and orphans.

Of course, there's nothing that says widows and orphans shouldn't be option traders, too. At least, that is, if they use a conservative risk-reducing strategy like covered calls. See our article Safe Investing For Widows And Orphans for how we made these 3 stocks even safer for conservative investors.

Every May there are lots of articles around the theme of "Sell in May and go away." It's a nice rhyme but statistics suggest it may not be the best strategy.

SeekingAlpha recently had an article that specifically suggests writing covered calls May thru Oct is better than writing them Nov Thru Apr. Personally, we like to write them all year long, but you can read the article and decide for yourselves.
