RIG, Transocean, the dominant global deep-water oil driller:

The obvious problems with RIG are:
1. inconsistent dividend history. I'm making the assumption management means their recent commitment to becoming a dividend stock.
2. payout ratio way too high. The past year's earnings were affected by the BP/Macondo spill. This, I'm assuming, is a non-recurring event. Looking at their long-term earnings, and assuming deepwater drilling is a LT growth industry, the current dividend is sustainable.
