Sorry, I don't do recommendations. However, looking through the thread, there are a number of good suggestions in response to your question. I will suggest you look at the mentioned stocks and identify a few that is in your circle of competency. Then, create a list. I can give my opinion on your picks but it still won't be a recommendation.

Hope this helps.

Iamsoulomon:


Ford motor company(F) have a high dividend yield base on their price 13%

Exxon mobil corp(XOM) 7.38%

Boeing company(BA) 8.65%

Note this are dividend yields and not the amount they will be paying you’re too calculate the amount yourself, dividend yields changes as stock price change and moreso any of these is not a recommendation I’m just letting you know the companies with high dividend yeilds there are more others too... stay safe

Companies also cut their dividends so dividend yields calculated on the basis of present dividends may create unwarranted expectations.

I like the fact you are sticking to your strategy in making a foray into uncharted waters.

I had the feeling we have dividend aristocrats in this forum and already had a watchlist of good dividend stocks to share for the benefit of all who may be interested.

Apart from looking for the highest yielding dividend stocks, the best of them are those who have been consistent in the last 5, 10, 25, and 50 years.
REITS are also very good proposition for dividend income because of the nature of their business and the mandatory law that makes it obligatory for them to pay out a huge percentage of their PAT as dividend annually.

Energy Transfer (ET) $8.43 with EPS of $0.71 and div yield of 14.48%
Starwood Property Trust (STWD) $15.32 with EPS of $1.29 and div yield of 12.48%
Exxon Mobil (XOM) $49.21 with EPS of $2.49 and dvd yield of 7.07%
White Horse Finance (WHF) $11.53 with EPS of $0.14 and div yield of 12.32%
Phillips 66 Partners (PSXP) $40.57 with EPS of $.87 and div yield of 8.63%
AT&T (T) $31.16 with EPS of $1.97 and div yield of 6.68% (5G candidate)
Ventas Inc. (VTR) $41.58 with EPS of $1.44 and div yield of 7.64%
Verizon (VZ) $56.79 with EPS of $4.44 and div yield of 4.33% (5G candidate)
Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) $18.15 with EPS of $1.89 and div yield of 6.88%
LTC Properties (LTC) $39.36 with EPS of $3.10 and div yield of 5.79%
Shaw Communication (SJR) $16.88 with EPS of $1.00 and div yield of 5.03% (This one will make people money during the 5G boom)
Kimco Realty Corp (KIM) $14.06 with EPS of $0.75 and div yield of 7.96%

The list is not exhaustive, but I have also been careful not to list companies with low dvd yield, and negative EPS that has high div yield record which is obviously deceptive. Low liquidity stocks have also been avoided to allow for easy sell off whenever an investor wishes to jump ship.
Note also that every change in price automatically affects the dividend yield.
Apart from dividend income, the above stocks have good upside potential for capital appreciation too for the patient.
Due diligence advised.

One other good thing about these stocks you listed is that the P/E ratio for most of them is solid.

You are right! patience and correct timing is the main things.

When I go back and analysis your entry and exit... I found that if you have a bit patience in your entry, and allow the pull back exhaust itself, and wait for at least 10 days before you enter you would have amass great profit.

Pls tell us how you are able to psychological withstands 50% dip because I can see the TSLA reaches $350 half your entry price before rallying to above $800you sold it.

This is Warren Buffet strait in you... I really love that. Kindly share the technique Pls.

I think it's basically being sure of what you are buying from the onset while acknowledging you are not in control of a lot of happenings in the market.

When stocks meet my various screening criteria amongst which are that they must be profitable businesses and have a good foreseeable mid to long term future using time tested indices like PE Ratio, EPS, Beta, ROI, Dvd Yield, PBV, etc, and of course some positive news/vibes and not negative sentiments around It, I procure a certain level of peace that serves me when it dips.

I have had to pick a stock and the moment I buy, it dips. In most cases, I quickly buy the dip because I know what I bought and that move promptly "averages down" my entry price.

Finally, I trade or invest money I don't need for my short or mid term expenses, so that affords me the patience required to make a kill in the end.

That said, I have had to exit some trades at minimal loss in a bid to recover that loss and enter automatic profit by buying a more promising find.

In the end, the stock market is a battle field of mind games. The most emotional people get wounded here.

Thank you! Please when a stock is said to be overvalued, what is the meaning and how does this affect investors?

When a stock is rated to be overvalued, it simply means people are paying more than the true value for it.
Most times, it is a result of overhype by analysts and market operators which creates some euphoria around a stock.

"Gravity" (reality) always has a way of bringing back such stocks back to "earth" (real value) no matter how long it stays overpriced.

Note that there are also stocks that become undervalued due to several factors.
Smart investors like Warren Buffet utilise a strategy called "Value Investing" to identify these stocks and take position ahead of the crowd before the attention of the investing public is drawn to it.

Hello Oakpearl,


Apologies for how she feels and i wish it were a fault of ours but unfortunately a lot of things are outside of our control.

We charge $2 or 1% which is not strange in the space as it is similar to what is being charged by other similar products.

I think its quite unfair to come to a forum to tag us as a scam, an easier way to resolve or understand what could have happened was for her to reach out to us to get clarity and perhaps i could have maybe helped out.

CHK has been on a wild ride and had its shares plunge Tuesday the 9th, after being halted by officials on the New York Stock Exchange, amid reports that the shale oil and gas producer is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The company has been spiraling lower over the past couple of years as the company struggled under a heavy debt load, made worse by falling natural-gas and crude prices on supply concerns, and more recently as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped demand.

Jim Cramer also put out a tweet about Hertz & CHK and i also mentioned to quite a number of people not to get hurt in Hertz or Chesapeake as these are more likely to be worth little to nothing as common stock has the lowest priority in bankruptcy.

Unfortunately the stock was halted by officials on the New York Stock Exchange and if a stock is halted for trading, entering and exiting the position would be quite impossible unless you are banking on doing an OTC trade.

We do not control what is halted on the exchange and what isn't. It is quite unfortunate that she was caught up in the middle of the delisting but that is not something caused by us.

I have personally had to help lots of users facilitate the liquidation of a number of LTM (Latam Airlines) , AKQRX (Akorn Inc) and a number of positions just because of bankruptcy which this companies filed.

We are a group of honest Nigerians trying to build something of value and it is quite sad you when i see messages tagging us otherwise.

I always advocate for lower risk bets and long term investing but then a number of users prefer investing in low cap stocks without understanding the inherent risks that come with them.

Like i mentioned on my reply to her message, she can always reach out to me if she has any issues, i cant guarantee i would always reply immediately but then i would do my best to address issues and help when i can.

I am super receptive to criticism and always ready to help out when i can. A number of Nairalanders im sure can testify to this as i sometimes talk to as many as 10-15 users on an average a day.

Thanks for all you do on the this Nairaland board Oakperl. I dey see your handwork.!! God bless you richly

Quite happy at the feedback here. Everyone has been wonderful. I can observe some stocks being mentioned by more than one person and also matching my filters.

Some of the filters include capital growth in the last 3-5yrs, less or around 50% Vs their 52 week High and for a start, share prices below $100 and of course consistent div payout.

Some of the selected stocks matching the filters include CNP, PM, ET, STW, PSXP, VTR, CVX, XOM, WFC, BEN, LTC, KIM, MRK, OMC, AFL, BMY, ADM, EV, AEP, SJR.

Surely, some of them were picked with my bias grin grin grin

What do you think about Moderna (MRNA). Some interesting news about there Vaccine trials.

MRNA belongs in a speculative sector that has made a lot of money for people in this pandemic era being a corona virus vaccine manufacturer themselves.

There could still be room for further profits as they are close to the final phase of their corona virus vaccine programme which could have them get efficacy data by Thanksgiving period in the US, paving the way for an Emergency Use Authorisation approval.

I can't comment on the US version. I'm subscribed to their UK version. They tend to repeat a lot of their monthly recommendations which is not actually great but the counter argument is that if the company remains viable, then that's what the service is about. This might likely not be the case with the US version because they have a bigger pool of companies to choose from as compared to the UK.

A 75% discount is good if it serves its purpose. They have different programs within the setup. A year trial at that price does not seem like a bad plan -if they recommend companies you don't currently have on your radar.

Hope this helps.

I was finally able to Naira Fund my TROVE account on 16JUN guyz, but funding my BAMBOO has been hellish for me, not having access to Land☹️.

Unlike Trove Bamboo has more options of Funding, but the most simple is missing. (funding by transferring naira/dollar into a nigerian ngn/dom account by Bank transfer is unavailable)


back to TROVE, i funded with naira by bank transfer into a Providus account and it reflected in 30 seconds. But till today 17th JUN i am unable to buy Nigeria/ US stocks!!??

how long does the verification take ?? over 48Hours and The option of uploading Proof of address and Identification Document. Though i have already uploaded my Bank statement and Passport earlier..


pls who can give me the support number/ contact for both Bamboo and Trove.!!??. i should be buying now.. all my picks are green.

My last two deposit on Bamboo has been direct transfer to an account number.

See screenshot below for guidance.i just did a simulation to transfer 100 dollars, the second option is bank transfer, you click on it, it directs you to another page with the account number to transfer to (Don't use account number below, just for illustration) You make the transfer, come back to the page and indicate.

If you still having challenges, use the help options in the app and start a conversation. Or if you are twitter , go to their handle and send a DM ( I use any and I get response)

As for trove, I don't use it but they have a contact number, hopefully someone provide it for you or you take your time check last 5 pages of the thread to look for it.

Honestly speaking, people are always entice by the romance of the market quote, creating an illusion that they can make quick money by taking advantage on the short term volatility of the market. With my experience from the stock market, I can bodly tell you the more you trade the less you make. The only way you can make money from the market is with the help of a "LONG TERM PATIENCE" please invest for the Long term. Have been with this thread for a while and I am very glad people, mostly the young ones on this forum are getting expose to investing in the U.S stock market. But please don't be seduce by market distraction, it does not end well.

If you just can't stay away from market seduction, just try and only use 10% of your money for speculation at most 20% and use the remaining 90% for long term investing. In the long run you will see which one of the two accounts have made you financially secure. I am willing to stake my both hands on the long term account. Speculating is scam.

Halving your funds might be better because if a drop happens, you'd be half as stressed as if all your money was in the market, plus you could then use the remaining half to buy the dip and get a better average for your purchases before selling when the markets go up.

The stocks you mentioned are solid ones that will likely be more resistant than most other stocks in the event of a crash, and they are also likely to come back up faster than most other stocks, so in short, they are good if you want to enter the market securely.

Either way, be cautious and make sure you understand what you're risking. A crash can happen and leave the market bearish for a long, long time (the 2008 crisis left a bear market that lasted 17 months, for instance).

In short, things are very volatile now and nothing is assured.
