TheStreet.com’s Best Large-Cap Dividend Stocks


Although I don’t venture to TheStreet.com very often, I was of course intrigued when I saw that Jim Cramer and his team had a listing of what they consider to be the best large-cap dividend stocks.

To come up with their list, they focused on stocks with the following:

1. A minimum market capitalization of $10 billion

2. A dividend yield of over 2% – but the dividend yield cannot exceed the company’s projected growth in earnings per share (my comment – this is interesting)

3. The stocks must have an overall rating of at least A-, meaning they are in the top 10% of all the stocks TheStreet.com rates

The list that they have come up with, especially since there are many companies I have never even heard of, which is a good thing. I believe that I sometime get a bit myopic in my thinking and looking at the usual suspects of dividend payers. Seeing a list like this gives me some new ideas:

MO – Altria (4.25%)
BAC – Bank of America (4.08%)
T – AT&T (4.02%)
SPI – Scottish Power (3.63%)
AEP – American Electric (3.56%)
D – Dominion Resources (3.39%)
WFC – Wells Fargo (3.05%)
FE – FirstEnergy (3.05%)
FPL – FPL (2.83%)
BLS – Bellsouth (2.68%)
ETR – Entergy (2.49%)
AZN – Astrazeneca (2.45%)
LNC – Lincoln National (2.35%)
WMI – Waste Management (2.28%)
WYE – Wyeth (2.05%)
EMR – Emerson Electric (2.03%)

    Internet Investing…

    From my experience the best investors are mature in their thinking and have realistic investment expecations. They measure their personal investment horizon in months and years – rather than weeks or days….

    Unfortunately two of those can be scratched off the list….

    BellSouth is merging with AT&T, and Scottish Power just announced they are being acquired by a spanish utility.

Get Out of debt

If you're stuck in debt and trying to get caught up, don't resort to payday loans. They almost always have high interest rates, so if you don't pay them back immediately you will just end up in even more debt. In these tough times, it's better just to learn how to be more frugal with your money.
