PREFERRED STOCKS
Preferred stocks trade the same as common stocks, but they
are more like bonds than common stocks. Investors buy them
mostly for the steady 4% to 8% dividends, although,
depending on market conditions, mid-single digit annual
appreciation is also possible.

MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (MLPS)
MLPs trade like regular stocks. However, they are partnerships,
not corporations. MLP dividends get special tax treatment, but
may not be suitable for tax-sheltered accounts. Review the Tax
& Liability Considerations report before you buy.

EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS
By now you know about the advantages of using ETFs to hop on and
off market sector swings. But did you know that many ETFs pay high
dividends as well. In fact, more than 50 are paying over 4% yields.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (REITS)
REITs are a special form of corporation that enables individual investors
to participate in large-scale, income-producing real estate investments.
REITS don't pay federal income taxes as long as they pay out at least
90% of earnings to shareholders. Due to that requirement, most REITs
pay high dividends (5% to 8% yields).

CLOSED-END FUNDS (CEFs)
Closed-end funds typically outperform mutual
funds and ETFs in the same category.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES (BDCs)
BDCs lend money to mid-sized firms that are too small to “go
public,” but too large to borrow from local banks. They don’t
pay income taxes as long as they distribute at least 90% of
taxable income to shareholders, hence BDCs are high-dividend
payers. Click on links below for more information.

Dividend Capture
Did you know that you only have to hold a stock for
one day to collect a dividend.
Dividend capture strategies involve holding a stock
just long enough to collect the dividend, then selling
and moving on.
D.D. Premium offers three separate Dividend
Capture resources.
Ex-Dividend Calendar: lists all stocks going ex-
dividend over the next four weeks, plus the data that
you need to implement traditional capture strategies.
Advanced Capture Resources: everything you
need to implement D.D.’s Advanced Capture
Strategy.
Special Dividend Resources: Special dividends
are one-time payouts that are often much larger than
regular dividends. D.D.'s Special Dividend report
lists all upcoming investable specials, plus our
advanced trading strategy.
