for the life of me I don't understand why you go for these piddling yields. even if you don't like REITs, something like JPM is now yielding ~5.5% - your companies would have to nearly double their dividends to reach this level. there is another way to capture yield: that is to use cbs.marketwatch (or whatever) to get announcements of dividends, and especially those that are increased. I pick dividends of 35 cents or higher. I keep the stock price under $40 and look for volume over 100k. under these conditions, I buy the stock on announcement day, and hold until the dividend is attained (plus 5 cents for costs). it works great, even if I do chicken out in this war market and sell before the dividend is actually reached. naturally I do look at a chart first to make sure the stock is not in a death spiral or something - plenty of free info available to find these companies - I have found 97 that meet the above criteria - I eliminated another 10 or so (ADRs etc)- so that's about 350 trades a year, enough for me.
